Building Us Up by the Word

Building Us Up by the Word

Psalm 102:16 (KJV)

> “When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.”

The Word of God is the primary instrument for creating, building, and sustaining anything.

At the kernel and foundation of everything created lies the Word.

1. The Word Creates and Transforms

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (KJV)

> “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen...”

Your present condition is not your permanent address. God uses His Word to bring you into your glorious future.

2. The Word Carries Life and Spirit

John 6:63 (KJV)

> “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

The Word carries Life—life that is modulated and transmitted through the waves of the Spirit.

John 4:24 (KJV)

> “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Where the Spirit is, the Word flows. Where the Word flows, life is manifested.

3. The Word Illuminates

1 John 1:5 (KJV)

> “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”

Psalm 74:20 (KJV)

> “Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.”

Where God is not embraced, darkness takes charge. The Word brings illumination that dispels every form of darkness.

4. The Word Sanctifies

1 Peter 1:16 (KJV)

> “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

John 15:3 (KJV)

> “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”

Ephesians 5:26 (KJV)

> “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.”

Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)

> “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee...”

God is holy, and His Word is the instrument through which His holiness is transferred and maintained in us.

5. The Word Brings Breakthrough

Luke 5:5–7 (KJV)

> “And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.”

And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.”

God personifies breakthroughs. When the Word is received and acted upon, limitations are broken.

6. The Word is a Weapon of War

Ephesians 6:17 (KJV)

> “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Matthew 4:1–11 (KJV)

> Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil... But He answered and said, It is written…”

The Word is the believer’s battle sword against all forms of satanic resistance.

7. The Word is Fire

Jeremiah 23:29 (KJV)

> “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”

Hebrews 12:29 (KJV)

> “For our God is a consuming fire.”

1 Kings 18:24 (KJV)

> “And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.”

2 Kings 1:12 (KJV)

> “And Elijah answered and said unto them… If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.”

To call down fire is to invoke the legions of fiery angels through the Word of God.

8. The Word is the Stone in Zion

Matthew 21:44 (KJV)

> “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”

1 Samuel 17:40 (KJV)

> “And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook…”

1 Peter 2:5 (KJV)

> “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house…”

The Word is that Stone in Zion—it breaks resistance and grinds opposition to powder. We, as living stones, are energized by the Word and modulated by the currents of the Spirit.

9. The Word is Light

Isaiah 60:2 (KJV)

> “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”

The Word shines light that shatters all powers of darkness.

10. The Word Raises a Standard

Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)

> “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.”

Galatians 6:17 (KJV)

> “From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.”

Colossians 2:14 (KJV)

> “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.”

The Word is Spirit, and it raises a standard against every satanic opposition.

11. The Word Establishes Victory

Zephaniah 3:15 (KJV)

> “The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.”

When the Word is established in you, victory is your lifestyle.
