Prayer and Fasting 2016 Day 3 - A people of the Word of God

Day 3 - A people of the Word of God

Isaiah 66:1-2 "For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands." (Amplified version)

What causes God's focus/attention to be drawn in favor and trust toward a believer?
What does it take for us to tremble at God's words?

Deuteronomy 8:2-3 "And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart (mind), whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

What is God looking for in our relationship with Him?
What is the mindset that we are to develop in regard to His word?

2 Timothy 3:10-17  All scripture (the written word of God) is given to make us ready!
What vital graces do we receive from God when we learn and know His word?
Wisdom, faith, love, perseverance in persecution, freedom from deception
What impact is God looking for when we embrace and love His word?
Teaching, reproof, correction, training in righteousness (God's ways)
What result comes to the believer who lives fully by God's word?
We become adequate and equipped to do God's works and will

Hebrews 4:12  The sword/scalpel of God in our hearts
A dead word/literature or a living heavenly force?
What does it do to us and for us?
It pierces where we can not penetrate to reveal thoughts and intentions/motives of our heart to set us free from fleshly deception

Jeremiah 23:25-29  God's word as power to destroy false revelation and reveal truth
Why does God reveal that His word is like fire and a hammer?

John 17:14-19  His word is the truth that has the power to set us apart from the world and protect us from Satan
Though we are in the world, the Word of truth has the power to sanctify us from the world

Joshua 1:5-8  Promises for success and dominion
What does God tell Joshua to do with His word?

Psalm 103:19-21  Harnessing angelic power and support
What can we unleash when God's word is in our mouths and intercession?
