The Secret to Building Powerful FAITH in 2023

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7)

First and foremost: A promise to you from GOD: To all ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth.

If I “commanded!” words to a thousand generations (1 Chronicles 16:15, Ps. 105:8), do you think those words will get lost or go missing?

Haven’t I then promised to preserve My Word throughout the generations and forever? (Psalm 12:6-7) Is this too hard for Me to do? (Jeremiah 32:17, 27) Can you prove I didn’t? If I didn’t, then you have a case against Me in the courtroom of “My!” Holy presence. (Job 23:3-7, Isaiah 45:11, Micah 6:3) This will surely “never!” happen because I, GOD, I Am, the Word! (Exodus 3:14, John 1:1, 8:58, 12:48, Rev. 19:13)

If My Word or any part of it can get lost or go missing, then I too can also get lost or go missing. Do you believe scholars who say “this” and “that” are lost or missing from My Word or do you believe Me? (Ps. 56:5)

Choose between the two; your scholars or Me: The Word! Haven’t I spoken and it was done; haven’t I commanded, and it stood fast? (Ps. 33:9, 148:2-5, Is. 14:24) Investigate Me! Can I or any part of Me get lost or go missing?

Scrutinize the history of My Word; all conflicting sides; and you will find Me! (Is. 34:16) But take heed, lest ye despise My Word and therefore despise Me! (Num. 15:31, Is. 5:24, 30:12-13, Mark 8:38, Heb. 3:12)

For Hundreds of years, I chose Hebrew “ONLY!” to write, preserve and carry My Word around the world; to all ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth. (1 Kings 8:41-43, 2 Chr. 6:3233, 9:23, 20:29, Ps. 46:10, Is. 18:3) Afterwards, I used Greek and Latin. So then, couldn’t I use any language “ONLY!” (or languages) to do the same? Remember that, I am the Word! Search the Scriptures: When “the word of the LORD said,” (or “the word of the LORD came unto me, saying”) that was Me, the Word, speaking. When “the words of the LORD said,” (or “the LORD hath spoken”) that was what I had already said. I, the Word was there in the beginning with God, and was GOD! (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1) So then, read all of Me! Every word! (Matt. 4:4) Feed on Me! (John 6:33-58) All of your information regarding Me, the Word, came from three sources:

books, teachers and your very own personal experiences. You then personally and by yourself, along with influence from others, chose which of the information you will believe and accept as truth. Remember that, I am the truth! (Deu. 32:4, John 14:6)

Ask Me “first!” to steer your thoughts, then carefully and cautiously by yourself examine the sources I will send you and you WILL find Me! (Deu. 30:11-14) My Word is alive (John 6:63), intact and is within your reach. Today! Even NOW! Search for Me! (Jer. 29:13)

Psalm 12:6-7, 33:11, 100:5, 119:89, 160, 138:2, Ecc. 3:14, Is. 40:8, Matt. 4:4, 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33, Heb. 10:7 and 1 Peter 1:23, 25; so then, you can believe Num. 23:19, Is. 14:24, 27, Jer. 32:17, 27; otherwise, Rom. 14:23, Heb. 10:38 and 11:6.

THE SECRET

As is the case with physical food, so it is with spiritual food. There are wholesome foods and there are enormous amounts of

fatty and “fast,” unhealthy junk food. As we feed ourselves on spiritual food, it is very important for us to consume the raw nutrients of the words of God.

Unfortunately, Satan has taken the true nutrients of God’s Word and mixed them with excessive amounts of (spiritually speaking), sugar, fat and salt; thus, creating for us an unhealthy spiritual diet. As a result, we are all not getting a wholesome amount of daily spiritual vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, etc., so to speak, from God’s Holy Word: all the nutritional elements to create, build and sustain a very healthy spiritual body.

Jesus said in Matthew 4:4: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by “EVERY!” word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Jesus linked actual food to His actual Word.) There is a deeper meaning here that most of us do not catch (Deuteronomy 8, Psalms 105:37-41, John 6:28-64). There is a hidden truth here that can only be spiritually discerned if reading (or listening) through the Bible was done frequently. (Modern versions did not want us to know this secret and so they omitted, “but by every word of God” in Luke 4:4: the second of “two or more witnesses” needed to validate this very important point.) Therefore, we all must feed on “EVERY

WORD!”

We get vitamin A from every word in Genesis; vitamin B from all the words in Exodus; vitamin C from Leviticus; vitamin D from Numbers, proteins from John, carbohydrates from Matthew, Mark and Luke, etc. etc. etc., and so on, so to speak.

Imagine then if you did not read, let’s say the book of Nahum, you would lack an essential piece of spiritual nutrient that helps to build and sustain a totally healthy spiritual body. (Jesus is the Word according to John 1:1, 14. If the Word, (or the bread of life) then we ought to feed on Him for spiritual growth and development. (This we see and can understand or comprehend what He meant in John 6:32-58.) If this spiritual nutrient continues to be lacking in your spiritual diet, over time your spiritual body would eventually suffer and break down. You may ask, ‘how is this possible?’

Jesus said in John 6:63, “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 1:1 says, “the Word was (and is) God.”

Therefore, EVERY WORD of God is important to create, build and maintain a healthy spiritual body with all the benefits that go along with it. For example, a spiritually healthy body transforms the mind; it has the gift of discernment; it has power to love,

unconditionally; it is mighty in faith (In Romans 10:17, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God;” Faith can ONLY come this way); has the power to heal and receive healing; it gets prayers answered (John 15:7 said: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”); it is strong in wisdom, knowledge and understanding; etc. etc.

You may say that many of the books of the Bible (particularly books of the Old Testament) are very boring and cannot be understood; you therefore skip and avoid them. The solution to this problem is: do not skip it! “Just read it!” Do not be concerned with how boring it is or not understanding what you read, “JUST READ IT!”

Even though you do not understand what it says or its boring, when you, “just read it!” you still get all the spiritual nutrients the book has to offer; thus consuming “every!” word of God. This is very, very important!

If you bit into and chew on most vitamin tablets, how does it taste? Boringly bitter (not sweet)! For this reason, when we take vitamins, we just simply swallow them. We do not carefully study them by biting to taste their contents. We know they will do our bodies well, so along with water, we just quickly
