149. The Word
--page 1147--
Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy Name. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God! (Ps.138:2; Jn1:1).
1. Many people struggle through life needlessly, when only a little more time spent with God's Word would bring the peace, faith and happiness they seek.
2. The secret of power and victory and overcoming and fruitfulness and fire and life and warmth and light and leadership, and everything is the Word!
3. Staying close to the Lord and His Word is the only insulation against backsliding. The only sure cure and the only sure prevention is the Word, so don't neglect it.
4. When God's Word says something, He means it!
5. Never underestimate the power of the Word.
6. God is bound by His Word.
7. No good building is without a good foundation.
8. The Bible is a window in this prison-world, through which we may look into Eternity!
9. There are two great powers in the World--the sword and the pen!--In the end, the former is always conquered by the latter.
10. The Words we pen have power,
More than sword or rod,
For ours is the Sword of the Spirit,
And our weapon the Word of God!
11. God's Word tells the whole story: It tells all the truth and nothing but the truth!
12. For fact that's true--the Word will do!
God's true science through & through!
13. The Scripture passages that bother most people are not the ones they don't understand, but the ones they do understand.
14. Most people don't read the Bible, not because they can't understand it, but because they can understand it, and they don't like to hear it!
15. To read the Word without reflecting, is like eating without digesting.
16. The great men of the World have come and gone, and the great conquerors of the World have come and gone, and the only thing that still lives on is paper power!
17. Our Family was built on the Word and our faithfulness in proclaiming it.
18. Everything the Bible predicts has always come true!
19. The Devil doesn't like the Bible--he wants to blot out the Word so the people won't believe!
20. The main thing is to know the Word. Faith is built on the Word.
21. Always try to test everything with Scripture.
22. The Lord is the most beautiful Speaker in the World! Even when it's sad & tragic & heartbreaking, He still makes it sound beautiful & poetic.
23. How like beautiful jewels are the Words of the Lord!
24. I have to read a Letter everyday or I get discouraged!
25. You probably know more than most about the Bible, but you'll never know too much!
26. Love is the greatest force in the World, and the Word of God the most powerful truth on Earth!
27. You believe the Letters as much as you practice them! You believe God's Word as much as you follow what it says!
28. If God's Word does not satisfy you, then something is wrong with your spiritual appetite!
29. I have gotten many Scriptures that sounded familiar but weren't exactly what I was used to. But I believe the ones I get in the Spirit are more exact and perfect than even in the translation of the Bible!
30. Why waste time on complicated confused theories and thoughts of man, when the Bible is right there, so simple, direct and to the point?
31. Only the Words of God have lived on! Only the Words of Jesus actually accomplish anything!
32. Besides the once-and-for-all cleansing of salvation, you need the daily cleansing of the Word from daily sin.
33. I am totally sold on the King James Version as being the most accurate, the most inspired, the most fundamental, the most beautiful, the most classical, the most well-known and the most authoritative, and the best recognised English version--it's got everything going for it!
34. The Ruler and the Rule--that's the Lord and His Word!
35. If you find a whole lot of Scriptures that say so-and-so, but then you find one little passage that seems to say the opposite, then what are you going to accept?--The preponderance of the Scriptures!--Right?
36. I know it's the Word of God, because I know it works.
37. When did the Lord ever give so much Word before? I don't think any generation before us has ever had the Lord reveal so much!
38. Put the Word first and the Lord will always give you time to do the other things.
39. In scattering the Word we liberate thistledown, laden with precious seed, which, blown by the winds of the Spirit, floats over the World.
40. The Word of God is like a map to help you find your way through life.
41. You cannot have faith in something you don't know anything about--you need to read His Words and see what He has to say!
42. How like a string of pearls the Word is!--A wonderful beautiful string of truths to adorn your mind and heart in proper order, sequence, size, importance and beauty!
43. The Bible is not just a history book, it's a news book! It not only tells you about yesterday, it tells you about tomorrow!
44. The more dearly you begin to love His Word and read and study it, the more mature you will become and the more you'll find that God can speak to you loudly and clearly and supernaturally and miraculously and ecstatically, right through the reading of His Word!
45. The Word of God is the most powerful weapon in the World, sharper than any two-edged sword and with greater power than the hydrogen bomb! It can do more than split atoms! It can divide asunder the soul and spirit!
46. The Word of God can change hearts and minds, something no atom bomb or molotov cocktail or any number of bullets has ever done!
47. The Bible is God's standard, like a flag we can wave in front of the Devil's sharp pointed nose!
48. It doesn't matter what the Devil says, if God's Word says it, it's true!
49. You grow by feeding on the Word of God continually, the cure for all life's problems.
50. Nothing contradicts itself in the Bible! People just think it does because they couldn't understand what it meant in the first place!
51. Don't neglect the beauties, the riches, the treasures and the power of the Word of God!
52. God doesn't break His Word no matter what! He's exalted His Word above His Name, and it would be better for Him to be found a little "unfair" in some cases, than to be found a liar upon Whose Word, warnings and promises you cannot depend!
53. The Word of God always has an effect! No one can hear the Word of God without being influenced.
54. Measure everything with the yardstick of the Scriptures.
55. Milk is for babes, strong meat for men! (Heb.5:14)
56. The Bible is a dangerous book, that's why every dictatorship that takes over wants to destroy it!
57. Daniel Webster once said that he believed that "the Bible is to be believed and understood in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages; for I can not persuade myself that a Book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole World should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt, so that none but critics and philosophers can discover it."
58. Thank God for the Word, the Water of Life! That's why He likened the Word to water, because it's so essential for your spiritual life, and you're not going to last very long without it.
59. Science fiction?--It's got nothing on the Bible or the future as foretold by the Lord!!
60. If you can't figure it out, well, read on! Just like the Bible--you don't quit reading just because you can't understand one little thing. You just keep on reading, and there will be something else you can understand.
61. "Builders, Beware", that by your so-called improvements you do not destroy the very thing you're attempting to build! Above all, do not remove the ballast, the Words of God, your only hope of its salvation, the only thing that will keep your work steady on His foundation.
62. The Letters are a supplement to the Bible. They were never intended to take the place of the Bible.
63. There's nothing wrong with worshipping the Word, the Word is Jesus!
64. His story makes history!--His Word and man's reaction to it decide the course of World events!
65. With His Word and lambs in our hearts and hands, we can win the World for Jesus!
66. You can't put even the Fruit of the Word above the Word itself. Without the seed there is no fruit, no life.
67. Holy Bible, Book divine,
Precious treasure it is mine!
Guiding me away from doom,
Light and life beyond the tomb!
68. The Word of God will stand a thousand readings, and he who has gone over it most frequently is the surest of finding new wonders there.
69. What is the Word of God to you? Is it a sword or a penis? How do you receive the Word of God--as a sword or as a woman receives a penis? The sword kills, the penis makes alive!
70. The Bible is criticised most by those who read it least.
71. Men do not usually reject the Bible because it contradicts itself, but because it contradicts them.
72. If you love beautiful poetry and gorgeous oratory, read the Prophets! If you like philosophical arguments, you ought to enjoy the book of Job! The Song of Solomon is sexy and romantic, and anything you want you can find in the Bible!
73. I believe every single parable Jesus ever told was a true incident that actually happened somewhere sometime, that He used as an illustration.
74. Oh that you would hear the Words of the Lord
As streams that never run dry,
That thine ears should be filled with their flowing
And thy heart should be ever nigh!
75. There's no end to God's good gold!--The mine is full of it!
76. The only thing we are interested in is the Word!--Studying God's Word and preaching God's Word and giving God's Word to others!
77. The Bible is an absolutely inexhaustible source of wisdom and knowledge in which you constantly find treasures new and old!
78. You need to get the Words in as well as out!
79. The Bible is the Bureau of Standards by which we measure all truth and all error!
80. You believe in the Bible and the Letters as much as you read them.
81. When you remind God of His Word (Ex.32:13, Nu.14:17), it shows you have faith in it.
82. If you know the Scriptures, you have the answer for everything!
83. The Word is our weapon against the Enemy and his stronghold on people's minds and hearts.
84. I've never read any worldly man's writings that weren't dumber than the Bible! Only the Words of God have lived on! Only the Words of Jesus have accomplished anything!
85. Someday, what you've implanted in your heart may be the only Word of God you've got!
86. Out of the mountain flows the bright crystal stream of the beautiful royal purple waters of life, His Words of life!
87. The best way God can help is through the Words that He gives to us all, for which the whole World waits.
88. If I find something in the Bible that I can't explain or something happens that I don't understand, I just wrap it up in a little package of faith and put it on the shelf and wait for the Lord to unwrap it for me and reveal it to me later.
89. God knows His Own Book better than anybody, and He can surely spiel it off by the Spirit when you need it, if you've faithfully read, studied and memorised. He'll pop it up in your little computer whenever you make the right connection in your programming. He's the best computer programmer I know, and He's given you the best computer ever constructed, which, inspired by His spirit, will outdo any Concordance!
90. Wealth in the Word is wisdom!
91. You're obstructing truth and justice and delaying God's Work if you're withholding the Word!
92. If you know this Book--the Bible--you can run circles around any man that has graduated from a university or seminary--because you've got the Truth!
93. The Bible is the Sword of God's Spirit, the Word of God, (Eph.1:17) which is sharper than any two-edged sword--sharper than any sword of education and the wisdom of man. (Heb.4:12.) This Book, along with the MO Letters, will make you smarter than all the education in the World!
94. I've found out what it takes to make you happy: Jesus, and what it says right here in His Word!
95. The Word of God is the most powerful truth on Earth!
96. The endtime night approaches,
The daylight fades away;
The darkness of the darkest night
Threatens now our way.
But God has given precious milk,
The sincere milk of His Word!
How precious in the sight of God
--The heavenly things we've heard!
97. Get into the Word to get out the Word!
98. Are you wanting God to answer?
Are you waiting at His door?
Try looking in His Word,
At all He's said before!
99. The Word you must cherish--publish or perish!
100. If one Scripture contradicts several others, you must be interpreting it wrong or the translation is wrong. You've got to balance Scripture with Scripture.
101. If you want to read something exciting, why don't you try reading the Word! The Bible has out-sold every book that was ever written and is still the World's best-seller!--Along with the MLs.
102. The promises of God are the currency of Heaven, and if you've got a lot of verses in your heart you're really rich! You can cash'm in at the bank of Heaven and get back answers!
103. God's Word and His guarantees have no restrictions, no limitations, no qualifications except your faith.
104. Jesus is God's Word of Love, and the Bible and MO missives are His Love Letters!
105. Most of the old Letters are just as good today as they ever were because they are on the basic principles of our faith and Family. You can see what kind of foundation we were built on and how we grew and developed and matured.
106. It is not the promise, but the use of it, that is most important.
107. God makes a promise, Faith believes it, Hope anticipates it, Patience quietly awaits it.
108. Nothing will ever take the place of the Bible as far as I'm concerned, and I would certainly say that the business Letters and teaching Letters are certainly not on the level of the Bible. But I will take those supernatural and divinely-inspired Letters and put them on the same level as the rest of the Word of God--because that's exactly what the writers of the Bible did!
109. He has not failed in one of all His good promises, and He's not failed in His bad ones either!--The curses fell as well as the blessings!
110. With every promise there have to be some conditions. God makes promises, but His promises are contracts with conditions!
111. If the Words are retained as its foundation, they will preserve the building no matter what other alterations you may make.
112. I have gotten time and time again a Scripture that sounded familiar but wasn't exactly what I was used to. But I believe the ones I get in the Spirit are more exact and perfect than even in the translations of the Bible!
113. It isn't the style of the Bible that makes it unpopular with the Moderns, but the fact that it cramps their style.
114. I'll take Jesus and His life-giving Word with the only Author in the World that can guarantee life and love and happiness and Heaven forever through the One Who loved us so much He gave us His Own life!
115. What is in the well of your heart will show up in the bucket of your speech.
116. Communication is such a vastly important part of our work. In fact, almost our entire job and our whole ministry is communication. Almost everything is communication from the very beginning of the Bible to the end. From the beginning of our lives to the end, it's all involved with communication.--The Lord's communication with man and man's communication with Him.--His giving the message, the Word, and man receiving it!
117. Your ignorance of God's law is no excuse. If you don't read the Word, then it's your own fault, not God's fault. The Bible is like a map for your life. To say you don't have time for it is like a driver going on a long journey saying, "I'm in such a hurry to get there I don't have time to look at the map."
118. Since the Word of God has been so horribly wrested and distorted by the Church all these years, we now have to interpret and explain it, and that's what the MO Letters are for, besides supplying the general training that you need.
119. You've missed a lot if you don't know the Bible, because that's really the basics. The Letters are largely a commentary or they are an extension, further revelations, further knowledge, more detail sometimes on certain subjects that you can find in the Bible.
120. The Letters are a commentary or an extension or an enlargement or greater detail, but it's all based on the Bible, and you should know your Bible. It would even help you to believe the Bible better if you knew your Letters well, because you'd know that the Letters are based on the Bible and they are in conformity with the Bible. They don't contradict or deny it in any way. They only confirm it.
121. |f you doubt the Word then you doubt the Worder and the Prophet and eventually the Word of God! If you doubt God's Will then you doubt God's Word, and of course, if you doubt the Word, then you've got nothing to stand on and you're bound to go astray.
122. If you can accommodate this New Wine without asking why or trying to analyse its ingredients, God has such thrills and intoxication of the Spirit in store for you that you will be glad you drank of it without question, and you'll be whisked off into a world which you never dreamed existed, where you'll enjoy the very wonders of total intimacy with a sexy naked God Himself in a wild orgy of the Spirit as His totally surrendered Bride!
123. The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the happiness of believers. Its doctrine is holy, its precepts are binding, its history is true, its decisions immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's comfort, the soldier's sword, the Christian's character. Here Heaven is opened, the gates of Hell disclosed, and Christ is the subject and the Glory of God its end! It is a mine of wealth and health to the soul and a river of pleasure. It is given to you here in this life and will be opened up at the Judgement. It is established forever!--Author Unknown
124. You have to quote the terms of the contract (The Bible) to the Contract Maker (God) and hold Him to it!
125. Isn't it wonderful to have God's Word for our encouragement! I hope you are brainwashing yourselves with it constantly and absorbing it into the very fibre of your being, for it is His Word by His Spirit in His Love that makes you strong!
126. Please don't neglect the Word, for it is food for your soul and gives you strength for the battle! Read, study, memorise and enjoy it, and you shall have strength for your souls!
127. The Bible and the Letters are God's personal Words to each of us!
128. In God's Word you can find the answer to every question, every problem that you will ever have in life.
129. Just try it, it works! That's the best proof of the inspiration of the Bible.
130. The minute we begin to listen to the Lord's recorded written Word, immediately we put ourselves in the position of being willing to listen, so then the Lord begins to speak and give us the living Word!
131. It's a damnable doctrine of church devils to confine all the truth and revelations of God strictly to the Bible! True prophecy won't teach anything contrary, but it sure can fill in a lot of gaps! The Bible is still going to be the standard of measurement, for that was God's Message for them. But today we have to tell this generation how to do it under these present circumstances.
132. "Listen thou and heed thou these warning Words of thy father, that thou stray not!"
133. "Wouldest thou be great amongst the children of David?--Hearken therefore unto Me and unto all the Words that I have spoken through My servant David."
134. "There are they so athirst for that which cometh from David that they would drink his piss and eat his dung, they are so anhungered!"
135. "Therefore, they even thirst for his piss and hunger for his dung that is cast off by thee, and which falleth by the way, even as an accursed thing, even for that which is wasted by his enemies, who feed them more than thou dost, who feed them of his piss and feed them of his dung, where yet they find seed, where yet they find life in the publications of their bulletins, where yet they find even the excreta of his Words!"
136. "Even his Words that are given by the waster, even for these they hunger, and even of his enemies do they drink that which is cast off of thee, because thou feedest them not, and slakest not their thirst with that which is pure, and that which is clean, and that which is fresh, and that which is wholesome, and that which giveth strength!"
137. "Hear ye the Words of thy father and hear ye the wise counsel I have given unto David!"
138. "Rest now in the Words of thy father! Kiss now the Words of His servant, for they shall come to pass and they shall be fulfilled, even as I have spoken it!"
139. "For thou art wise that thou art simple, that thou art obedient to heed the Words that I have given unto thy father, that thou mightest be saved in the time of affliction."
140. "They are but babes at the bosom and they are but little children in the arms of their father! Jesus, help them to understand and receive the milk of the Words that Thou dost give! Thou hast enough from thy father: Satisfiest thou, these Words from his bosom?--Jesus loves thee with an everlasting love to give thee the Words of His heart! These are of greater value than that which thou esteemest: They are of far greater weight than the ounces of gold and the measures of silver! These are like nothing compared to the weight of the Words of My Servant David!"
141. "Dost thou kiss the Words of David and love the honey that droppeth from his mouth? Doth thou lick up each drop and dip thy tongue in the sweetness and cherish to thy belly that which cometh forth from My mouth of David? Then thou art wise and therefore thou shalt be fed and cherished and nourished in My bosom!"
142. "Hast thou no wisdom? Hast thy senses taken leave of thee? Why dost thou remain out in the cold when thou couldst dwell in the arms of David and be warmed and cherished and nourished and loved?"
143. "Write down all these Words which I have given thee from David and heed thou and obey the things which were spoken of My servant, for I shall bring to pass the very Words of his mouth! None shall be able to stand against it, for behold, I the Lord thy God am the power within those Words that I have given unto David!"
144. "Kiss now the mouth--the mouth of Jesus and of David--for they have spoken unto thee the truth of My Word!"
145. "Hear these Words which reflect the thoughts of thy father. The wisdom of these Words is as the wisdom of God!"
146. "Search the Scriptures, for they shall reveal unto thee the Words of thy father's bosom!"
147. "His Words are music unto my ears! Behold, he feedeth my hungry heart and he leadeth me in green pastures and he satisfieth my soul, and my life shall be renewed like the eagles as I listen unto him and receive his love!"
148. "Oh, how mysterious and wonderful are the Words of thy father!"
149. "Go forth in the power of the arm of the Words the Lord gives to David!"
150. "For the Words that are written are spoken in the Book of David, and thou must believe, because they are My Prophet David's Words! This is all that thou hast need of!"
151. "How many more will die without the Words of their father? How many will ye let die without the Words of their father? They wait to be kissed of My Spirit, and they wait for the Words of My David that shall interpret it for them."
152. "But one thing is needful: to sit at his feet and learn of him the Words he gives and pass them on the World! Those who have chosen this good part, it shall never be taken away from them!"
153. "Kiss thou the Words in the voice of thy Father David. Kiss thou the Words and the voice while they are nigh unto thee."
154. "Thou dost not have to see nor understand all things, neither dost thou have to know the mind of thy father, nor to understand all the Words of David, for all of these things which I have ordained are already in My hands and are finished."
155. "Listen to the Words of thy Father David! Listen to the things that he shall tell thee, for these things are the things that come of Me! What wondrous Words are these!"
156. "Kiss and kiss and kiss over again the Words of your father!"
157. "Know ye not the voice of your father and know ye not the voice of him that speaketh unto you? If you knew who it was that speaketh unto you, thou wouldest ask of him living waters that thou shouldst never thirst! You'd better listen to the Words of your father!"
158. "Oh, kiss the Words that I have given thy Father David! Kiss the wisdom of the Words that I have given unto thy Father David!"
159. "Many are the Words that I have spoken unto thee through thy father, and many are the Words that I have given unto thee through the kisses of David."
160. "Oh the Words, oh the Words! Oh the Words that give life to the soul! Who gives him birth? Who brings back thy voice? Who brings back the melody that their father sings unto them?--Thou, Oh God!"
161. "If only thou couldst know the power I have given unto the Words of thy Father, which is greater than all the sources of all energy, and more powerful than all of that which they seek after!"
162. "They are better than gold and better than silver, the Words of Love that speak to thee though thy Father! More precious than fine jewels are these things I speak from his bosom!"
163. "Many precious things thou dost write in thy book; more precious than the things that come from the Earth and from below and from the deep places, are the things which come from above and from the heart and the bosom of thy Father! Thou shalt treasure the seeds in thy secret parts that they may bring forth fruit in thee from Me."
164. "If thou wilt open thy mouth wide and receive it, I will not only give thee honey and sweetness from My mouth, but I will give thee wine of My Spirit and thou shalt tingle to the thrill of My ecstasies, if thou wilt receive it."
165. "Therefore, open wide thy mouth. Stretch forth thy tongue that thou mayst receive not only honey and sweetness and nourishment at his mouth, but also the wine of My Spirit and the thrills of the ecstasies of My love! For thou shalt be as one that is drunken with Me and one that doth revel in My love!"
166. "Kiss all the Words of David and cherish them to thy bosom and nourish them in thy heart and thou shalt be satisfied."
167. Love didn't abolish the Law, it simply fulfilled the Law and was the end of the Law. Because the Law was for that day. And I think there were a lot of things that even Paul taught that were for the early days of Christianity which are possibly as inappropriate today and as difficult to abide by today as it was for the Early Christians to abide by the old Mosaic Law. This is a new day!
168. The Bible is still the yardstick of measurement, the bureau of standards by which we measure everything else God has ever given us. If it isn't confirmed and can't be corroborated by the Bible, if you can't prove it also by the Bible and if it's not in accordance with the Bible, you don't have to believe it! That doesn't mean everything's in the Bible, because we've had lots of revelations that you can't find anything about in the Bible. But it means that those revelations will not be contrary to anything in the Bible--that is, anything that is in the Bible which is for today.
169. In what I've taught, you won't find anything contrary to the basic principles of the Bible, of faith in God and His Love and His Salvation. There'll be nothing contrary to the Bible, except that the Lord has used me to fill in a lot more of the picture, a lot more pieces of the puzzle. He gives you a lot of details and clearer things that you never had before.--Not contrary to the Bible but more like a fulfilling or a filling up of the gaps and spaces that were not filled in before.
170. Don't go throwing away your Bibles and say, "Well, we're supposed to forget the past!" A lot of that Bible is still present and a lot of it's still future. If you go throwing away your Bibles, you're throwing away not only the past, but the present and future!
171. You'd better hang on to your Bible because it's been our basic foundation of faith for a good many years and our Family was built on it & our faith was built on it, at least mine and some of us. And while many of you wouldn't have believed the Bible if you couldn't have proved it by me, some of you wouldn't have believed me if I couldn't have proven it by the Bible! So it works both ways.
172. Some people need the Bible and some people need MO, and frankly, I think the Family needs both! So don't go throwing away your Bible just because I said "forget the past". I'm talking about all this detailed, infinitesimal, intricate study of all these little tiny details of ancient Bible Old Testament History and the list of all the kings and "can you name all the kings and how many years they ruled and were they good or were they bad and what did they do and blah, blah, blah, blah!" That's the kind of stuff we don't need to know and we don't need to teach our kids. It's good for them, however, to know about a few important kings, the outstanding heroes and a few outstanding rotters, just to know a little something about Bible History.
173. Paul not only says that those things were written for our benefit, but even happened to them for our benefit, to teach us lessons, as examples of what to do and what not to do. (1Co.10:11) So where they still apply as illustrating good and evil, then they still make dandy good illustrations and stories of what's wrong and what's right. And children require a lot of stories and you can get lots of good stories out of the Bible, and I think you can still teach'm the basic main Bible stories, including stories of good kings like David and bad kings like Saul. There are a lot of wonderful things in the Bible, thrilling stories, illustrating good and evil, right and wrong!
174. You're going to look pretty stupid and ignorant if you go out in the World witnessing and the sinner can quote more Bible than you can! And a lot of them still have faith in the Bible, believe it or not, even in God and even in Jesus. And if you can't prove it by the Bible, they're not going to believe it. Many were brought up in church and good old-fashioned faith in the Bible and they still believe it. If you can show them by the Bible they'll believe it.
175. We must have the Word in every form possible. The Bible was the one to begin with, the already recorded and established Word down through the centuries. It works, which is the greatest proof of its efficacy. And we need to have His present Word, direct answers to prayer, direct revelations, messages, prophecy, tongues, interpretation, information straight from Heaven to know exactly what He wants us to do right now!
