The Power of Scripture: How to Use it in Your Heart, Soul, & Mind

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:14

In this post, I will be talking about the power of scripture, the power of God’s Word, and how to implement the Word into your daily life. As I have previously talked about before, the power of keeping scripture on your mind is useful and a necessity. Now, I will be digging into the foundation of the Word and sacred scripture.

What is the Word?

According to the Bible, the Word became flesh and outlasts the Heavens and the earth. Scripture is the end all be all, saves humans, and can be answered within itself. Jesus is God’s law in the flesh, is the Word, is eternal, and breathed the Word of scripture to the masses so they can find objective truth and the kingdom of Heaven.

Ultimately, God’s law and Word are authority, as it is the imposer of judgement. Although impossible to keep, it is something that we can strive towards, which will give us spiritual health and connection to God himself.

The Word saves, and scripture gives us insight into the divine mechanisms of humanity itself, as well as eternally, and spiritually.

How Important is Scripture?

Scripture is what allows us to find the truth.

I recommend finding a quiet place and opening your Bible to any page. When you read, you will feel like you are ascending from reality and becoming closer to God. It is a tremendous feeling of comfort, tranquility, and peace. I pray that you read scripture every day to equip yourself with this divine poetry and embrace it in unreasonable positive light.

When Jesus had fasted for 40 days, and was tempted by Satan himself, what was his plan of defense? Satan used every psychological trap in an attempt to insnare Jesus to not be the savior of humanity. He wanted to play with Jesus’ ego, to try and deceive Him in a surface level way.

Jesus would listen intently, quote scripture, and defeat Satan for the first time. (There is more winning that will come later on.)

In Luke 21:33 it says that “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

The scripture allows us insight into how powerful holding on to God and His Word truly is. We can now equip ourselves with the Armor of God and the Sword of the Spirit, through studying His Word. Our flesh is weak and is susceptible to Satan’s temptations and breaking God’s law. But, keeping scripture in our mind, as a way to divinely defeat evil, is the best way a human can become closer to God.

Scripture needs to be studied, accepted, and routinely practiced.

Conclusion

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. – 2 Timothy 3:16,

The Word became flesh is origin, and its eternal quality goes longer than the “Heavens and the earth.” Christ now lives in me as stated in Galatians 2:20, as all that keep the word shall come to life. Therefore, it is useful on the grounds of His authority, which then makes us eternal.

The multitude of believers had one heart and one soul, as stated in Acts 4:32. This acts as a uniformed principle for the Word. Humans need the Word, as the flesh is weak. Refer back to Peter, John, and James in the “Garden of Gethsemane.” The flesh fails, and the Word becomes an eternal necessity. So, it is useful that we implement its authority and keep it in our heart, soul, and mind. The soul yearns for its eternal truth, the heart needs its authority, and the mind defines it as useful.

Jesus IS the Word, Jesus BREATHED out scripture, and Jesus SAVES.
