he is in control, nothing good<br />
can come out of it. If he<br />
succeeds in snatching God's<br />
word from your heart, he<br />
succeeds in limiting your<br />
spiritual growth and maturity.<br />
This therefore means that the<br />
word of God is our heavenly<br />
diet. Failure to feed on it<br />
regularly is failing as a<br />
believer because<br />
transformation, which is the<br />
key to our spiritual maturity<br />
and growth, cannot take place<br />
without the word. When we<br />
get transformed, we qualify for<br />
more blessings. There are<br />
things God cannot release to<br />
us if we remain 'babies<br />
spiritually.<br />
It also empowers us, meaning<br />
that even though we may be<br />
saved in the eternal sense, if<br />
we ignore the word, we<br />
remain powerless before the<br />
the enemy. The devil fears a person<br />
who is grounded on the word so you<br />
can imagine if you are not. It also<br />
makes us grounded, strong and firm<br />
even during the hardest times.<br />
Anyone who comes<br />
to me and listens to<br />
my words and obeys<br />
them—I will show<br />
you what he is like.<br />
He is like a man<br />
who, in building his<br />
house, dug deep and<br />
laid the foundation<br />
on rock. The river<br />
flooded over and hit<br />
that house but could<br />
not shake it, because<br />
it was well built. But<br />
anyone who hears<br />
my words and does<br />
not obey them is like<br />
a man who built his<br />
house without laying<br />
a foundation; when<br />
the flood hit that<br />
house it fell at<br />
once—and what a<br />
terrible crash that<br />
was!” (Luke 6:47 - 49)<br />
