Eat The Word

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””

Matthew 4:1-4 NKJV

“For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”

John 6:55-56 NKJV

Jesus is the Word made flesh. When we eat the Word, we abide in Him and He abides in us. Why is this important? It’s important that we would see true change in our lives and bear much fruit.

““I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”

John 15:5-8 NKJV

No Christian can live a Spirit filled, Spirit led, victorious abundant life without daily eating The Word of God. If we want to see true change in our lives, we have to eat The Word.

Go Boldly,
