It Is Written: DEFEATING the enemy with the WORD of the LORD

The entrance of God’s Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple (Psalms 119:130). God’s Word is our greatest protection. It’s a shield that surrounds us, guarding our way and warning of danger. God will take us from glory to glory as we meditate, study, and apply the Word of God.

It Is Written is filled with the written word, reflections, inspirational words from the Holy Spirit, prayer, proclamations, and praise. There is also a section on “When You Lose a Loved One” and it is written differently from the rest of the book because there were a lot of things the Lord wanted me to discuss. One of them was to share “my dark night of the soul” experience, and I wanted to include links and additional information for help and encouragement in your time of need.

The Scriptures are authoritative. It is the Word of God. Accept it. Love it. Live by it. Answer the devil with it. He cannot answer the written Word of God. If you read the Scriptures from Matthew and Luke, you will see satan never responded to Jesus when He told him, “It is written.” He always changed the subject. Satan knew better. Using the Word of God, worked for Jesus. It worked for His disciples, and it will work for us.

We will use the same words Jesus used to defeat satan and cause him to flee: “It Is Written.” Meditate on this: when the doctor gives us a prescription, the directions are on the bottle, and we take them as prescribed. So, why don’t we take God at His Word and use His Word as directed?

Your words have power when they are God's words spoken in faith through your lips. Thankfully, we do not have to wonder what God's words are. Jesus did not wonder or guess. He quoted ‘It Is Written,’ followed it with the Word, and defeated satan (so should we). The Bible is the Word of God, therefore, let us speak as Jesus spoke and defeat the enemy.

It Is Written will fill your heart with the truths and the promises of God’s Word. When you speak the Word, they will come forth with power and will bring remarkable success to your personal life and your ministry. There is great power in the spoken word of the Lord. Do not allow anyone or anything to cause you to fear and doubt God’s Word. Hold fast to your confession of faith and expect to see God move on your situation. Confess the scriptures, personalize them, and make them your own statement of faith. Store the Word of God up in your hearts, and let it overflow from your mouth. What an awesome way of harmonizing your life with the blessed will of God.

The Lord said we would do greater works because He was going to His Father. Isn’t it time we start doing greater works?

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY WORDS shall not pass away. Luke 21:33
