February 9, 2020 The Word and the Power of the Spirit

/in /by

[Luke 1:31-38]

God

is the Father.

He

sent the Word to the world (1 Jn 1:1)

and sent the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22).

This was to fulfill God’s will (Jn 6:38-40).

God’s will was decided from eternity past (Jn 1:1).

He received this will as command and came to the world (Jn 10:18).

The Word came by the Spirit’s power (Lk 1:35).

Like firewood and fire harmonizing to be lit,

even if you stack God’s word like much firewood,

if the Holy Spirit does not work by power like a fire (Mt 12:28),

God’s will is not fulfilled.

Some people misunderstand the Law for God’s word.

The Law is the spirit of bondage (Rom 8:15).

God is the Word (Jn 1:1).

The Law is not the Creator.

Only God’s word can create (Heb 11:3).

Jesus is the Word who became flesh and came (Jn 1:14).

If the Holy Spirit comes upon Him, nothing is impossible.

That is why the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth.

○ We pray a lot

for fullness to work by the Holy Spirit.

You must have God’s word to show His power.

○ Though you read a lot of God’s word,

if the Holy Spirit does not work, you are powerless

and God’s will cannot be fulfilled.

○ If you have ears to hear God’s word

and a humble spirit by the Holy Spirit and obey,

you can see great power done by God.

※ Our Lord and Savior Jesus came to the world

because the Word came

and the Holy Spirit overshadowed Him.
