● Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged
sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (KJV)
● John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
● Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
● Proverbs 3:5, 6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
● Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
● This is the WORD of GOD – we need to read, study and share it.
