The Word and Powerful Words For Men

by Shane Clements

Men, we have been given God’s Word, and with that word, we have been given the power to achieve, create, and change circumstances in our lives. We are born in His image. Our Creator did not leave us helpless, poor, and weak. He gave us all the tools to not only survive but fulfill our destiny to the utmost. We are all born for a purpose. It does not matter where we came from or the circumstances of our birth, youth, or our present lifestyle.

Brothers, let us consider these words: “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; forsake not the works of your own hands” (Psalm 138:8).

“I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works. My substance was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them” (Psalm 139:14-16).

“Thus says the Lord, thy Redeemer; the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go” (Isaiah 48:17).

These are just a few words of promise that you can stand on and act upon. The Bible is filled with them. Not only is God’s Word better than the thoughts and words of great thinking and creative genius, but it also transforms people!

Why? Because its words penetrate the heart! They don’t merely appeal to your intellect, emotions, or common sense like ordinary words. 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 (body), and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).

The Word of God is truth, and the truth will make you free. Freedom from fear, despair, suffering, and anxiety is the greatest gift you can get. It fills you with hope, love, and faith, which transforms into real power.

Jesus is also called the Word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with of God, and the

Word was God” (John 1:1). He came “to give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord” (Isaiah 61:3). “Furthermore, to those who believe in Him He gives the power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12).

That amazing power is not just for us to read about in the Bible. That kind of supernatural power is available to each and every one of us, every moment of every day! God’s truth allows you to experience His grace and His power. So instead of solving your problems by your own minute power, allow me to encourage you to reach out and tap into God’s power. It’s available for each one of us, smart or not, rich or poor, happy or miserable—any time we call upon His name.
