It Is Written

But he answered and said, It is written…. Matthew 4:4 KJV Part 1

When someone purchases a new equipment they receive a manual, with the written instructions how to use and care for the equipment. Also, when you think of a court case, the lawyers always refer to what is written in the laws. When you think of how a company operates, it is guided by what is written in the articles and also the written procedures and policies.

There is a reason why instructions, laws, procedures and policies are written. It means whatever is written or documented is established. They are to be used as a guide to govern and to ensure maximum use and results. As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual.

When you read the word of God, reference is made many times to the words ‘it is written’. This means God has given His word and it stands, it is established. These words are not just spoken words that can be changed whenever one feels like changing them to suite themselves or their circumstances. God’s words are permanent, forever settled. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven – Psalm 119:89 KJV. They are not to be changed. They are to be obeyed as they were given.

We see throughout scripture, Joshua reminded the children of Israel, what was written. He did not give them his own words or instructions. He would refer them to what was already established by God through His servant Moses. As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, Joshua 8:31 KJV. And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them, Exodus 24:12 KJV.

God not only spoke words, but they were written. Do you realize, God’s laws and commandments were written on tables of stone. Not paper, not in sand but on stone. This meant, they were established forever. They were not to be forgotten. One could refer to them at any time. Even Yeshua, when He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, responded by saying it is written. Yeshua did not use His own words, but referenced what was already written, what was already established.

There is power when we use the written, the established word of God. We must not create or say our own words; we must use the written word of God that govern our lives. God words stand forever. They are living and powerful. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, Hebrews 4:12 KJV. When Jesus used the word of God that was already written, already established, He was able to defeat the devil.

Are you gaining victory in your life? If not, what words are you using to fight the battle or overcome the enemy of your soul? And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Yeshua overcame the devil by using the written word of God, by using the established word of God.

Remember, it is written. Speak God’s words!

It's ALL Possible With God

“ For the word of God will never fail.” - Luke 1:37 NLT

.Nothing can change this promise, for what is impossible with man is possible with God. And this truth is equally true for you as it is for me - nothing is impossible with respect to any of God's promises, and the lovely Lord Yeshua is the fulfilment of all that God has promised, for all things are in Him and of Him and by Him and for Him. For the grass withers, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God will stand forever.

God is the Power behind every one of His promises, and God is the Truth behind all of His Word. God is the omniscience behind all of His counsel, and He is the supernatural mind behind all of His plans. No promise from God will ever fail to reach its fulfilment, for every directive that proceeds from the mind of the Almighty must arrive at its ultimate completion, for NOTHING is impossible with respect to any of God's promises. For the Word of God is living and active. Amen.

This truth is fully consistent with the perfect nature of God's character and totally compatible with His eternal perfection. If God has promised it, nothing will stand in the way of its final fulfilment. It is unbelief that questions the Word of God and doubt that casts a shadow over the veracity of God's promises, for they are all yes and amen in Christ.

Let us believe that nothing is impossible with respect to each and every one of God's precious promises to us, and demonstrate the same, trusting faith that was expressed by Mary - that nothing is impossible to God, even when we don't understand. Trust in the Lord with all our heart and do not lean on our own understanding.

And we know that for those who love  God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

Remember God’s word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).

Commitment

“Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed”- Proverbs 16:3 (NLT)

The wisdom of the world is foolishness to God, but the Wisdom of God is life and health to those that obey Him and, we would be walking in the way of the Lord and living in Spirit and Truth. God can never carry out His work through a heart that is anxious, disobedient, or fearful. Nor can He achieve His purpose in our life if we are proud or seeking our own glory, for anxiety, disobedience, fear, pride, and vainglory all emanate from our old sin nature. God's will only work through our new-life in Yeshua.

The best way to be assured that our plans will be achieved, is to dedicate our ways and works to the Lord and be willing to say, "Thy will be done." As stated in Jeremiah 29:11: “ For I know the plans I have for you declare the Lord plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. God said: for whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord.

Today, let us commit all our plans and our works, our desires and our decisions to the Lord. May we establish all our ways in Him, our Rock and Redeemer, the only sure foundation on which to build our lives.

David knew that the true might of his nation was not in weaponry but in worship-not in firepower but in God’s Power. This, because God alone can preserve a nation or an individual, be sure your confidence is in God, who gives eternal victory. Don't let rumors of war, stories of mass killings, or the threat of ballistic missiles threaten your faith. Instead let these fears drive you to the source of your faith: the God who loves you and promises ultimate victory over evil (Psalm 20:7-8).

We have to trust in the Lord.  Give great joy to those who came to my defense. Great is the Lord, who delights in blessing His servant with Peace! Psalm 35:27. We know that God is able to make all Grace abound to us, so that we have all sufficiency in all things at all times. So, commit everything to Him!
