Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.“ 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Believers must know the WORD to operate in the fullness of the authority given to us in the Name above all names for the benefit of self and others. To know the WORD involves study; that the information therein revealed by the teachings of the Holy Spirit results in comprehension for its application. In this way, Believers come into the realization that GOD’s super may (free-will) be placed on our natural, rendering it mighty “to the pulling down of strongholds“ 2 Corinthians 10:4. That is, anything attempting to block the manifold blessings of The Blessing (Galatians 3:14); any illegal obstruction to the manifest promises of GOD in this life, whether these be for self, household, children, neighborhood, workplace, school, etcetera. Nothing can stand above that which GOD has spoken because His Word fulfills or accomplishes everything for which it is sent (Isaiah 55:11, 45:23). The Living Word was made flesh to demonstrate the power and wisdom of GOD by which we were created to operate on earth (John 1:14; 1Co 1:24b). That is, Christ Jesus was made the wisdom of GOD for the benefit of man (1Co 1:20). Therefore, all who receive Him “have the mind of Christ” and the wisdom of GOD is being formed within us (1Co 2:16; John 15:15).

The WORD refers to wisdom in developmental terms because insight is from the LORD (2 Timothy 2:7b). That is, by the blood of Jesus, Believers instantaneously receive a reborn or recreated or regenerated spirit (2Co 5:17; Titus 3:4-6). However, the soul (consisting of the intellect, will and emotions) must be transformed or renewed by the teachings of the Holy Spirit in the WORD (John 14:26, 16:13; Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:10). Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing did all the work that positioned Believers for victory every time we operate by authority in the Name above all names. The finished work of Christ Jesus has rendered Believers over-comers because comprehension and application of the WORD will supersede the tricks of the devil. Hence, Proverbs 4:20-24 advises us to pay close attention to it because it is life and health (medicine) to our spirit, soul, and body (flesh). In so doing, we may have clarity that the things which work together for the benefit of those who love GOD (Romans 8:26-28), are the good things of GOD that have absolutely nothing to do with the father of lies who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 8:44, 10:10a). Rather, the things of GOD set-up by the finished work of Christ Jesus for every victory include: the Written Word (the sword – Ephesians 6:17); the Name of Jesus (authority, above all names – Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:17; Luke 10:19; Eph 1:21); the blood of Jesus (which made the Name – Hebrews 9:11-12,14b; Revelation 5:12); the gifts of the Spirit (1Co 12:7-11,28); and the power weapons of the Body of Christ (2Co 10:4; Eph 6:13-18).
