Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24-25
… who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
God’s Word is truth and is life.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
God’s Word is written and the Word is also JESUS.
Just as Jesus accomplished what He was sent here to do — the Word of God accomplishes everything IT is sent out to do as well.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Did you read that? God’s Word WILL accomplish what it was sent out to do. Nothing changes that.
Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take
up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
We do all we can in the spirit, do what we can in the natural — then we STAND.
STAND
God’s Word is truth.
We walk by faith, not by sight.
Just remember, what God does for ONE, He will do for ANOTHER because He is no respecter of persons.
This is the Small Straws in a Soft Wind for today from Marsha Burns:
STAND
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
This post is meant for someone! It has taken me days to write it because of very strange errors and font issues.
Dear Beth,
Thank you for sharing that which the sweet Holy Spirit speaks into your spirit. I feel a divine connection to you and your gift with words of encouragement.
