WORD POWER!

-




The words I say to others and
the manner in which I say them 
are  important. Sometimes I try 
to speak softly when I am upset.
Then my words may be more 
receptive to the person I am 
talking to.  The person may 
listen to me be because I was
not belligerent or hostile.

The Word of God is given to us
in different context in the Old 
and New Testaments. Some of 
His Words were meant to bring
comfort. There are also times
when His Words were spoken  
to correct our behavior.

This week I'll share scriptures 
about God's Word that were 
used for comfort, guidance,
and correction.



LIFE LESSON:

 GOD'S WORD CAN BRING PEACE,
COMFORT, & SAFETY
GENESIS 15:1

 After these things the word of the
Lord came to Abram in a vision,
saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. 
I am your shield, your exceedingly
great reward.”

Joshua 1:13

“Remember the word which Moses
the servant of the Lord commanded
you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is 
giving you rest and is giving you this
land.’

Joshua 3:9-10 

9 So Joshua said to the children 
of Israel, “Come here, and hear 
the words of the Lord your God.”
10 And Joshua said, “By this you 
shall know that the living God is 
among you, and that He will with
out fail drive out from before you 
the Canaanites and the Hittites and 
the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

2 Samuel 14:17

Your maidservant said, ‘The word 
of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, 
so is my lord the king in discerning 
good and evil. And may the Lord 
your God be with you.’

2 Samuel 22:31

As for God, His way is perfect; The
word of the Lord is proven; He is a
shield to all who trust in Him.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
