The Power of the Word"For the Word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide the soul, spirit, joint, and marrow; it is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
Like many of you, I enjoy being on Facebook to get connected with old friends. It has been fun to reconnect with many of my high school buddies that I haven't seen in decades.
If you are familiar with Facebook, isn't it amazing what people post on their status lines? I am amazed at what people share. Early on I got sucked into sharing trivia, then the Lord prompted me to post Scripture verses.
I am amazed at how many comments I get from the verses I post. It is another reminder to me of the power of God's WORD and how HIS Word speaks to our hearts.
For the next couple of days I want to simply post some Scripture passages on Freedom Fighter that are speaking to my heart. Will you allow God to speak to YOU today from HIS WORD. I would love to hear back from you -- what is YOUR favorite passage of Scripture?

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge in your sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of your sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the their sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Brothers, if a man is trapped in some sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself; you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. -- Galatians 5:13-6:2 (New International Version)

This is a meaty passage of Scripture. Why not use yesterday's teaching on how to meditate on the Scripture and work this passage of Scripture into your heart. I would love to hear from you, so please write! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
Dig This Quote: We cannot escape from our daily routine, because it will go with us wherever we go.... God must be sought and found in the things of our world. By regarding our daily duties as something performed for the honour and glory of God, we can convert what was hitherto soul-killing monotony, to a living worship of God in all our actions. Everyday life must become itself our prayer. Karl Rahner
