completed
The Efficacy of the Word
I.
Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1
II.
Isaiah 55:8ff.
III.
KJV Isaiah 55:8 For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are
my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as
the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but
watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to
the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out
of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and
the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the
field shall clap their hands.
IV.
KJV 1 Thessalonians
2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye
received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the
word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh
also in you that believe.
V.
KJV 2 Thessalonians
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:
VI.
KJV Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in us,
KJV
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper
than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest
in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him
with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that
is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may
obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
