God speaks today Friday | May 9, 2025

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11)
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. (James 1:21)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

The challenge of growing in the Word

The Word of God is essential for the spiritual growth and abundance of the Christian. Neglecting it can lead to stumbling blocks and a lack of blessings. The Bible is like wings to the bird, it enables the Christian to walk and confront sin, weakness, and anxiety. The Word of God confirms our spiritual birth and is to be read, scrutinized, meditated on, saved, and put into practice. The Christian must base their life on the Word of God and invest time in studying and applying it. Knowing the Word of God is not enough, we must also know the God of the Word by putting it into practice in our lives. Our lives are being constantly read by the world, so it is a challenge to grow spiritually and live out the teachings of the Incarnate Word. Read more...
