The Words of Eternal Life

When Jesus was teaching in Capernaum on his flesh being the bread that came from heaven, and his blood drink to eternal life, his disciples said, "this is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" Jesus explained that, "The Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life". At this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. Jesus asked the Twelve. "You do not want to leave too, do you"? Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."

The words of life are only found in the word of God. We also are believers, and know this is true. As we are about our lives we will hear a lot of words. Some from every source, the educator, the medical practice (who gave then the right to practice on live people?). Our friends, and the work place, TV, the radio. The news channel and the movies. In all of these there is no life. Confusion and death, lies, doubts and fears, or fantasy. There is also the voice of our own reasoning, and experiences. Or those we preceive to be an authority of some sort, congress man, judge, or some public office. Those who spout there own wisdom and etc. Enough already. Everyone has there own opinion. But there is only one truth and one source, and one author of eternal life, God.

The things that we think are true will affect our speaking. And our speaking will affect our actions. And our actions will affect our outcome in our life. If we want the blessings of God to abound abundantly in our lives, then our thinking, speaking, and acting will have to line up with what he has said. Again, only God's word brings life. Not what you think about what he said, not the experiences you had, not what your neighbor said about it, or your grandma, or even the pastor. Only and exactly what God has said. Any thing else can't produce life. Everything else is useless at best, and death at the worst.

Do you know of any thing that needs life? Ezekiel was shown a valley of dead bones. And God told him to speak words of life to them, and they lived. Do your children need life, then as Ezekiel, speak life to them, and in your prayers. Speak life to your body if it's sick or weak. Speak the words of life to your job, your dreams, your hopes. Put the word of faith to whatever you need. And all that the Lord has promised to you. Search the scriptures and prophesy to yourself that these promises will surely come to pass in your life. Claim your inheritance, God has told us to put him in rememerance of his word. He delights in our faith in his word, and will answer to show himself strong on our behalf. The words of God can revive a valley of dry bones, and they can surely resurrect any dead thing in our lifetime.
