Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
love: deal with the word under the full conviction that He, the eternal God, is speaking with you; and
let the heart be silent to listen to God, to God Himself. (Gen. 17:3; 1 Sam. 3:9,10; Isa. 50:4; 52:6; Jer.
1:2)
Ge 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
1Sa 3:9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou
shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1Sa 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then
Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
Isa 50:4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to
speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth
mine ear to hear as the learned.
Isa 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I
am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Jer 1:2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of
Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Then the word certainly becomes to you a great blessing. Read the word, as a living word in which
the Spirit of God dwells, and that certainly works in those that believe. The word is seed. Seed has
life, and grows and yields fruit of itself. The word has life, and of itself grows and yields fruit. (Mark
4:27,28; John 6:63; 1 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:23)
Mr 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he
knoweth not how.
Mr 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the
full corn in the ear.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they are life.
1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the
word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the
word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.
If you do not wholly understand it, if you do not feel its power, carry it in your heart; ponder it and
meditate upon it: it will of itself begin to yield a working and growth in you. (Ps. 119:15,40,48,69; 2
Tim. 3:16,17)
Ps 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
