Life of enjoying God’s Word
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

In the face of problems, most people break down, unable to do anything. If you are a child of God, all you have to do is pray, but prayer is not that simple. God’s Word is alive and active, and is capable of all things, and is also the solution to all problems (Hebrews 4:12). God’s Word heals and restores our mentality, spiritual realm, and even physical illnesses. In any situation we face, if we simply hold on to the Word of God, we will be victorious. The greatest gift God gave to those with salvation is the Word. If you can stand before the Word of God at least for a moment, every day of your life, you will undoubtedly succeed.
1. Restoration of Worship
This is the best time for us, as created beings, to look to God, our Creator. All areas of our lives are restored during the time of worship. No matter how busy you are, you must make time to meditate upon God’s Word. Scheduled worship is having a personal time of focusing on God. At this time, place the Word into your heart and pray in the field – this is continuous prayer. You can then uncover the answer regarding your problems and concerns through today’s prayer and Word, and gain spiritual strength.
2. Word fulfillment
With the restoration of worship, God’s Word is fulfilled in the field. All problems will present themselves as opportunities of blessings, and if you enjoy these blessings, the loneliness that creeps in will be an opportunity for Immanuel. The powerlessness in us is a vital chance to be filled with the Holy Spirit. No matter how lonely or tragic the situation, if you grasp God’s Word, answers will come to the extent of restoring thanksgiving. The life of an evangelist starts from here.
3. True answers
Joseph had many problems, but knowing the results, he never wavered. David, likewise, possessing the covenant of being king, was capable of giving thanks in all problems. Like so, you must possess the mystery of enjoying the Gospel in any and all situations. Your environment is not a problem, but the process of answers, so you must grab hold of the answers of uniqueness. If you have answers regarding the future, nothing will be a problem for you.
- All answers are within God’s Word. If you concentrate on God’s Word at this moment, God’s grace will be upon you. Organize your entire schedule around the Word.
