Words to Live By

Weekly Words to Live by…

The bible says that man should not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. This is unarguably God's expectation of mankind to allow God's word to be our source of guidance and information that we reference to determine our decisions as we live out this great life that God has given us in Christ.

Memorize 1 Scripture per Week!

Come join me as we purpose to memorize one scripture per week. We believe that the believer is positioned to experience tremendous blessings when they have purposed to place God's words in their mouth using it as a source of reference.

In Hebrews 4:12 we are told that "the Word of God is living and powerful." The Greek word translated "powerful" is the one from which we obtain the English word energetic. The picture that is conveyed to us is one of intense, vibrant energy and activity. Jesus confirmed this when he said in John 6:63 that "the Words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."

Thus I have to conclude that God's word cannot be reduced merely to sounds in the air or marks on a sheet of paper. On the contrary, God's Word is life; it is a Spirit; it is alive; it is energetic; it works effectively in those who believe it. I believe that the effect the Word of God has on a person's life is immeasurable. It builds Faith and Focus for today's challenges and prepares you to face the challenges of tomorrow.

What I would like for to do is to memorize with me a scripture a week. Put these scriptures to memory on a weekly basis and allow His word to speak to you in a great way!

Week one for you does not have to start in the same sequence it has for me but do start. In total we will have 52 scriptures to account for each of the 52 weeks in a calendar year. For now here is 16 weeks of scriptures which represents 4 months.
