Speak the Word of God, and your becomes His voice!
Dead religion gives you the checklist:
- “Thou shalt do all these things!”
- “Thou shalt NOT do those things!”
But here’s the problem:
Religion only beats you over the head with the rules, but gives you no power to succeed. Then it heaps shame and guilt upon you when you fail to live up to its standards. The devil loves this because it serves his kingdom very well.
Just as the mirror you look into when you get up in the morning only shows you how much you need to wash your face and comb or brush your hair, in the same way, the “Law” only reveals your sin problem, but does nothing to help you to overcome the sin problem.
I was raised in such a religion, one that heavily emphasizes rites and rituals, but teaches nothing about how to use the Bible for practical application. So, like most of the members of this religion, I was totally illiterate regarding the Bible.
I was in my 40’s when I began listening to Bible teaching on the radio. I began to discover how the Bible is actually full of wisdom for everyday life, such as the following principle:
BIBLE PRINCIPLE:
When people hear someone speak the Word of God they are hearing Jesus speak!
Key Supporting Verse:
He who hears you hears me and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”” (Luke 10:16a)
Here Is Why This Is Important:
The reason Jesus left us here is for us to become His disciples. His purpose is to work through each of us to continue the work of spreading the Gospel Truth that He began when He was here!
And What Was It That Jesus Did?:
- He spoke.
- He taught.
Jesus taught all of us a very important principle in that first part of Luke 10:16. When people hear a follower of Jesus (could be you or me) as we speak the Word of God (anything in the Bible), the listeners are hearing Jesus speaking through the voice of the speaker.
However, if you read the verse in context, you’ll see that Jesus commissioned those who had dedicated their lives to doing His work. There is no indication that the power of His spoken Word is available to unbelievers or even casual, cultural Christians.
Nevertheless, the good news for us is that there is great power in the Word of God. This is not like fictional characters who, by way of special effects, can cause “supernatural” things to happen. That’s fiction. But the Word of God is not fiction.
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE:
The Word of God contains the power of God!
Here’s how that is true:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14)
I don’t understand the “how” of those words, but I believe that somehow God literally IS His Word! As someone has said, the Bible is the written Word, and Jesus is the “living Word”.
Here are verses supporting the assertion that there is power in God’s Word:
Scriptures Showing The Power In The Word of God
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
The Word of God seems foolish to many. In reality, it contains the power of God!
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16)
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
It may “feel” awkward at first, to speak God’s Word out loud in the presence of others. Don’t let that stop you! Don’t be ashamed. Those “feelings” were likely put into you by a demon hoping to get you to back down and not give voice to what they hate.
On the contrary, speak out boldly! Take a step of faith and open your mouth, not because of what you FEEL, but because of what you KNOW! Put the devil in his place, and you will soon become aware of the presence of God as never before!
But you can’t give to others what you do not have. That’s why I keep banging the “Scripture memory” drum!
This principle accompanies the one stated earlier:
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE:
We access the power of God’s Word by speaking His Word!
Here’s an example of how Jesus applied the principle of quoting Scripture when being harassed by the devil. He modeled it for us as an example of how we can use the spoken Word of God to rebuke the devil.
When the devil tried to tempt Jesus after His forty-day fast, here’s how Jesus responded (emphasis mine):
The Temptation of Jesus
4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But He answered, “It is written,
“‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written,
“‘He will command His angels concerning you,’
and
“‘On their hands they will bear You up, lest You strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these I will give You, if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.’”
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to Him.
(Matthew 4:1~11)
In that passage, Jesus demonstrated for us how the spoken Word has power over temptations of the devil!
Do you realize how awesome and how important that is? You speak an appropriate Scripture passage, and in so doing put the lie to whatever the devil is trying to get you to believe and act on.
When you or I do that, the devil has to obey!
Why? Because to the devil, there is no difference between Jesus speaking the Word and you or I speaking the Word! The devil feels the power and does what he’s told!
The power of God is in His Word, and we access that power when we speak the Word of God!
In the following passage God revealed a glimpse of the grandeur and majesty with which He regards His spoken Word.
Note the underlined text:
10 For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:10~11)
God SPOKE! And Look What Happened:
- He spoke — and the universe came into existence.
- He spoke through Moses — and the Red Sea parted.
- He spoke — and the lepers were made clean.
- He spoke — and Lazarus rose from the dead.
- He spoke — and water turned into wine.
- He spoke — and multitudes were fed.
- He spoke — and the blind could see, the dumb could speak, the deaf could hear, and the crippled, the lame, the paralyzed, and the bleeding were healed.
- He spoke, “It is finished!” — and thereby threw open the gates of Heaven for all who believe in Him and obey Him.
By way of story, God has even revealed to us a “How-To” process for accessing the power of His Word, thus giving us a part in His process of bringing about things that would be impossible without Him:
Note the underlined text:
The Valley Of The Dry Bones
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. (Ezekiel 37:1-10)
Notice the first order of business:
The first thing He told the prophet Ezekiel to do (see the underlined phrase) was to “Hear the Word of the Lord”!
God is saying to the prophet (and to us), “This is what I want you to say. Now, SAY IT!“
This was an impossible situation: bringing life back into a bunch of bones. But not just any old bones; DRY bones!!
God instructed a mere mortal — just like any one of us — to speak words that He gave them.
So the point is??
The first thing God wants us to do when facing an “impossible” situation is to begin to speak His Word over it!
He’s given us the words to say. They’re all right there, in the Bible. And the more of the Bible passages we know, the better equipped we are for victory over the devil.
That brings me to the point I’ve been laboring to make all along!
You cannot speak God’s Word over your situation unless you know His Word.
In the heat of the battle, when the devil has you whimpering in fear and is freaking you out to the max, there’s no time to try to look it up in your Bible or call a friend. No, you have to know God’s Word. Scripture memory is the answer.
An Important Point Regarding The Principle That Calls Us To Speak The Word Of God:
Recall that in Isaiah 55:11 (quoted earlier) God said His Word “shall accomplish that which I purpose”.
We, as His ambassadors, are called to do what He would do if He were here in the flesh. We’re instructed to do His work. That likely does not include requesting a new car or thinking we are empowered to call down the wrath of heaven upon someone we don’t like!
So I’ll say it again: you cannot know what God would do until you have a good grasp of what He has said in His Word.
Think Of It Like This:
Suppose you were in desperate need of legal help.
Let’s imagine you’ve been unjustly accused of a serious crime, but the evidence against you appears overwhelming.
A) Someone who is “interested in” the law and plans to go to law school.
B) A seasoned top-notch defense attorney with decades of experience.
Right… So would I!
Speaking for myself, I want to BE the biblical equivalent of that top-notch attorney!
I’m gladly paying the price to reach that goal. It’s not a burden; it’s a joy and a delight!
How About You?

mariann, I just want you to know that I was also raised as a child in a “man-made-religion”. I was in my mid 40’s when I began to realize that if we don’t know the principles of God’s Word, Satan will put his thoughts into our minds. Not Good. – Jan
Oh my! This is what I needed to read and hear.
Dead religion kept me in bondage. I didn’t understand about getting the Word in my heart! I tried so hard to please the Lord but I failed everytime. Forgive me Lord for my religious spirit and shallow walk!
Help me oh Lord hide your Word in my heart and teach me Your Ways. Let Your Word my Lord come alive in me and transform me into Your Image! Help me GRASP Your Word in spirit and in truth! Help me HEAR Your Word oh Lord so I may speak what…

Elieshi, your words are a blessing to me.
Very well put and thank you for being a blessing. I have a question about visions. I’ve had two visions; one has happened already and the other not yet. I’ve had these visions once before years ago and God wiped my memory of them. I got saved March 15, this year and they came back to memory. 1. I was what looked like hit by lightning without a hair being harmed, that has happened. 2. I saw…
God bless you Ministries and thank you for the truth without God we can do nothing without this words thank you for the truth
Erica… I appreciate your compliment to me, but if we were in the same room together, we would lift up our voices in thanksgiving to GOD for the Truth He has given to us — for FREE!! And at such a great cost!!

Really great post. This answered the majority of my questions. When I read this I actually opened up a word document and started taking notes haha.
I been reading some of your article.power of the word of God i could not stop reading.Just so awesome..That why i subcribe to wordblessings.com..looking forward to receving it..
Blessed by the topic; power of spoken word.
I actually am really grateful for this insight as in the power of the spoken word of God. I had never seen it with such potency. But now, because of this I know better now. Thank you very much!
God bless you. I give you the word of God. From God, to me, over to jesus, and then to you. Thank you very much.
I loved and enjoyed reading of this article of the word of God.
Thank you, Jamie, for saying that. It helps me to know whether or not people are getting any benefit from what I have written.
After you yourself get baptized (recreated) with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will flow from within you, in the form of God’s Holy Word. Those holy words spoken by you, will transform (recreate) your world, for it is in fact the Creator himself, that is speaking through you.
John 6:63 “The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life”
John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive”
If you wonder what holy word you should speak, to get in tune with God, these holy words of Jesus Christ are a good start. The Holy Spirit will take it from there. “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”
Galatians 4:6 “Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
Romans 8:15 “the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
John 15:7 “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”
John 6:56 “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them”
A billion Christians are doing this (saying Our Father) (saying Christ’s words) while remaining in Christ. Join them !
sound word of research brother! God bless!

I njoyed my read. . .
Found my study very inlightening . . .
Thankx
Blessings
Was really inspiring,it did catalys my hunger for the word
Please I would like to know how the devil comes in
Hi, anthn,
All I know is that Satan and his demons have the ability to influence out thoughts and emotions. They will go to any length to get us to sin, then run to the court of Heaven and demand permission to torment us. According to John 8:44, Satan is a liar and the father of lies. Just as God cannot lie, the evil ones cannot tell the truth.
This is one reason I keep urging people to know some of God’s Word, so that you can have what the writer of Hebrews called, “…powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil”. We don’t have a chance against the forces of hell without the power of God’s Word. Read my article, Choose Your Words Carefully. It shows more about what happens in the supernatural realm as Satan goes before God to get permission to torment us.
This is my favourite site. Thanks.
I appreciate your kind words, Santha. Thank you!
I have had thoughts that aren’t mine enter my mind. I no they are not true. But they keep popping up. I feel like I’m under attack some times. I speak out loud the word of God against these thoughts but they keep coming back. I don’t feel pain in my heart. just untrue thoughts in my mind. what scriptures can I use to help me take control of my mind.
Glad you asked, Edward,
Here are some that come to mind:

Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
for the bible said in the book of John 14v6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,the truth,and the life:no man cometh unto the Father,but by me.
the bible said that in the book John 3v3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. john 3v4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his monther’s womb, and be born? john 3v5 Jesus answered, Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he coannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Romans 6v 23 for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 8 v 1 THERE is therefor now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. Romans 8 v 2 : for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
This is a life changing messages, God bless you so much for the truth you have shared with us. Thank you
this what I need any additional study that so have help me to grow in the word God bless my address is 501 Village dr Marshall MN 56258 Thank You Tucker amen brother.
“Might I also add: not only is it Gospel Truth that “the Word WAS God”, but also that the Word of God IS NOW, and ALWAYS WILL BE God.” A real zinger and I mean that in a good way. Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for your response to my last request.
It was helpful. And I guess when I am feeling angry etc I speak them out loud?
Also one more thing…do you know what are best verses to help convict people of their sin? Non Christians?

Wow! God bless you brother
Thank you for your kind words, Pastor Patrick.
This is a powerful revelation. Permit me to teach it Sir. The spoken Word is powerful
Yes of course. Feel free to use any and all. God has poured it into me so that I can pour it out to others.
If you’re going to teach on the power of speaking God’s Word, you might also like to see my series of articles on internalizing God’s Word (more colloquially referred to as Scripture memory.) For how can people speak God’s Word against the forces of evil in this world if they don’t know what God has said??
As I wrote somewhere, “The devil will not pull up a chair, sit down, and wait patiently while you look up a Bible passage or call a friend.” No, he’s on you like the lion going for the weak animal trailing behind the herd, right?
People all need to realize: all of us are in a battle. But it’s going on in our minds. The Bible is our ultimate weapon to render the devil harmless. As you know, Satan is already defeated, but he can still make a lot of noise in our lives, BUT ONLY IF WE PERMIT HIM TO DO SO! We have the power; we just need to know how to use it.
i’m so glad to see and read God is word , Thank you very much and he may
bless you
Next you should start speaking His Word to the devil!
lam so encouraged, l thank God for your life. May the Lord increase you.
Thank you for your article.
Do you have any egs of Bible verses to soeak in particular situations?
Eg. Thoughts of anger/un forgiveness
My world is crumbling and I cant face anyone
Thoughts on well Jesus died for people…not me specifically
Etc?
Reassuring. The Word is always available to speak, meditate, and hope in. Thanks.
this came to me at a time when i really needed it… thank You
thank you for reminding us and helping us to better understand the power of All Mighty God.
I celebrate the grace of God upon you sir,may the lord begin to increase you sir
Thanks, James. It makes my day when I read that another person has been blessed by reading about how to apply God’s Word.
Hi there Jan, I hope you don’t mean the Catholic church when you say religion ? Because we speak the holy word of God every day and have been doing so for two thousand years ! the results are amazing ! thank God the Holy Father that has has begotten us !
Hi, Viktor. If you wouldn’t mind, could you clarify something you said? You said that Catholics “speak the holy word of God every day.” Are you saying that all Catholics are speaking God’s Word every day? The Catholics I know do not do that.
Hi, Jan. Yes I can clarify what I said. All you have to do, to hear that Catholics are speaking God’s Word every day, is to visit any Catholic church during mass anywhere in the world.
You will for instance hear the following words
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14)
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” (Matthew 23:39)
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:9)
“Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word” (Matthew 8:8)
Take and eat; this is my body. (Matthew 26:26)
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many (Mark 14:24)
Catholics deeply understand that they have to Speak the Word of God, and have been doing so for nearly two thousand years !
thank you so much for your inspiring words; that we speak the word. am really touched and inspired, God bless you.
Lydia, what a nice thing to say! Of course, we know that it’s God’s Words that inspire us. I think of myself as a mirror, reflecting the light of the Truth of God’w Word into the darkness of life. I’m not the source of the light. God is the light, and He challenges (Commands?) all of us to help spread His Truth throughout the world.
Great words that my heart needs to hear. I love that when I am speaking The Word, people are hearing Jesus. I have been in a situation in past years where I lost a son in battle. When I needed God the most, his Word came to comfort me in songs, hymns and memorized scripture. I did not know that they were so well embedded in my soul, until the moment of need. I believe that is an example of what you are saying. Not only did those words comfort me, but they also provided for me a platform for sharing God’s blessings in the midst of calamity. I had something to say (scripture) when I was completely swept away by circumstances.
Hi, Elizabeth. Your statement about “sharing God’s blessings in the midst of calamity” and having something to say makes me think of how James said (in James 1:2-4), “Consider it all joy… when you meet trials of various kinds.” It’s an example of the “testing of your faith”.
Thanks for loving God’s Word and sharing your insight. God bless you and your readers
Thanks, Jae. I appreciate you taking the time to write a comment. I hope the article helped you. Feel free to share it with others. ~ Jan
Wow wow wow. Finally I have found a straight forward answer to a simple question. You’ll b shocked how many of us have misguided information about the workings of the word. Keep up the good work Jan you are a true blessing. Doo
Thanks for your kind words. It thrills my heart to know that I can help others. I was spiritually “blind” for most of my life. Thanks again. ~ Jan
I thank God for this, it has lifted me and make know who I am the more .
I’m glad to be able to help.
This article is just what I needed for a more impactful walk with Jehova. I have a mountain of a situation that I am currently facing but I have remained steadfast. Now I am going to attack it head on with the active Word. Thank you brother, you have really blessed me with this article and refreshed my memory on how I used to walk in this power. Complacency is so dangerous to our walk. Thanks again and may you be richly blessed.
Thank you, Mario! I receive that blessing!
I pray for you that you will soon walk once again in the Power you once knew. He’s not far away; indeed, He is right there beside you RIGHT NOW!
I pray Jesus will comfort you and reveal Himself to you.
~ Jan
I want to preach on this topic on sunday as I read this I understand the topic more thanks
Jeremiah, I’m glad you found this helpful in your ministry. I wish I could hear your sermon. ~ Jan
I have sumwhere to preach tomorrow and this is the topic i av received from God and having read this i understand more…
This is exactly what I wanted to know. Now I do understand the Power of GOD words and His Son Christ Jesus. From now on I’ll speak the word of GOD over all my difficult situations that the devil brings into my life.
Excellent work.
Carol, I like your attitude: “From now on I’ll speak the word of GOD…”
Great choice! God’s Word is demon repellent.
I just finished another article entitled, “Choose Your Words Carefully”. This shows how the devil, as he tries to trip us up, watches for our reaction. Then he uses our own words against us. Here’s a link if you (or anyone reading this) would like to read it: https://wordblessings.com/choose-your-words-carefully/
On reading this reply…I IMMEDIATELY thought LIBERALS!!
You CAN’T argue with them…
No matter WHAT you say, they turn it around!!
NOW I understand their ability to do this!
I had wondered how each of them have this same ability…
I have a VERY liberal neighbor who moved down here to Florida from Massachusetts…
I had NEVER before been faced with one.
They are blind, can’t hear either….
On abortion, she EVEN admits that it’s a living child but STILL thinks you should have the right to kill it!! Because it’s YOUR body.
THAT just doesn’t compute!
So I asked her, than at what time does the child’s body have a RIGHT to live!!!???
She shut up 🙂
But I doubt I got through to her.
I DON’T even bother arguing with them, it’s just upsetting and they DON’T hear.
It’s like they are programmed…I don’t know how else to explain them and they have this program that doesn’t make sense , it’s SO flawed.
She isn’t saved yet thinks that she is(I’m NOT judging here…it’s the truth)
She says she’s,”spiritual”
Aaggrr!!!!!
There’s no such thing!
You either have God’s spirit or Satan’s or Satan has yours.
But there is this little glimmer that I CAN see…She WANTS TO KNOW THE TRUTH, HER SOUL CRAVES IT!!!
And that’s the ONLY reason that I will sometimes have these talks with her…
When her”friends”are near, she is ALL LIBERAL
But when it’s just us, she lets her wall down, just a hair and I try to hurdle it by bringing down one board at a time 🙂
I HAVE learned that the trick to dealing with them is to listen…they explain all their propaganda,I listen without interrupt…Will sometimes ask a question but am careful NOT TO ATTACK THEM…THAT seems to be the key I have found to get them to at least listen and discuss your viewpoint, first you MUST hear theirs.
(I KNOW I am off subject here…but I table as that’s a gift from God, talking and writing…thinks just come to me)
Thank you,I JUST found this site after having a discussion with my sister about how Satan KNOWS when I’m praying even if everyone around thought I was just sleeping…he places barriers up , usually in the form of vivid sex scenes that I’ve never seen so it’s not coming from me nor my imagination!
So I IMMEDIATELY SLAM the door on him by telling God that he needs to block Satan for me..And he does 🙂 I sing amazing Grace in my head in one part while praying with another part and that keeps a wall up to block him 🙂
Our minds are AMAZING 🙂 🙂 :-)!!! Our abilities!
But THANK you for your site,I have signed up for your emails.
P.S.
I TOO was raised in a church setting that wasn’t right..I STILL believe in what I learned, it’s formed who I am…but I KNOW that some things were not right…And I am Baptist.
I would have guessed as the Catholic did that you were speaking of that religion….
I agree with your assessment.
The Catholic is being defensive, whereas I would rather look at my religion and say, “it’s NOT perfect, all Christian religions have a lot right and some wrong…it does NOT mean that they are bad people nor does it mean that they are NOT saved..but everyone saying they are saved are not…
On another thought, Satan sends worms into churches to destroy them…I have witnessed this!
So EVERYONE at church, some are true, some are pretending, some are doing what is expected, mimicking the behaviors of true saved people.

This is excellent. So little of this taught in the church. The key is hiding HIS WORD in our hearts. That takes time, sadly most Christians are not willing to do that, therefore, we become a powerless people who have a form of godliness (religion) that produces death, and w/o influence in this world. However, I believe that HIS people are being awakened and hunger is developing. Your article is powerful, and very encouraging to hear this message being proclaimed!!!!
Debbi, I agree with you that many churches are not teaching the “how-to” details of living a victorious Christian life. Perhaps many people grew up (as I did) believing that all that was “required” was to go to church for an hour on Sunday. I bet you would agree with this: those who think that way have no idea the joy and the power to overcome they are missing!
