KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD

Mental knowledge is excellent to have, but by itself, it can only produce pride. Moral wisdom and understanding help us with our principles of right and wrong behavior, but we need the knowledge of the Spirit; to make them all work together, and we can only accomplish this through the wisdom and knowledge of Christ. Our education helps us with our mental understanding, and we are taught how to behave, but only the wisdom and knowledge of the Word can touch our hearts.

Father, the knowledge of Your Word is the key to our Salvation. Lord, You have shown us the things which will shortly take place; yet we still do not repent and turn away from our sins. Father, we have to experience the power of Your Word; but we do not give our testimony in fear of worldly rejection. Although, Lord, You said, blessed is those who study and receive Your Word, Father, we receive, please give us Your strength and courage to keep and act on what is written, for the time is near.   Lord, let  Your will manifest in us so we can become the people You created us to be. Father, You have been faithful and true to Your promise, even though we are still sinners. Jesus, we praise You because You love us and have freed us from our sins by the blood on Calvery. Lord, thank You for forgiveness and help us to forgive others. Father, we thank You for life, health, peace, mercy, grace, and favor. Lord, thank You for the Holy Spirit that orders our steps in Your Word and gives us self-control that will help us get through, in Jesus' name,  Amen.
