Search The Scriptures - Fuel For You, Food For The World

We all need food to live in the natural to supply our body the necessary nutrients to function and survive. However, God was smart enough to know that man will NOT live the God kind of life without daily bread, aka His Word, being part of our daily life. Man will die spiritually without the Word of God being a daily part of our "food consumption," hence the God inspired phrase He gave to Bishop, to "Let the Word Become Life In Your Life." Spiritual nutrition is needed to live the God kind of life on this earth to fuel us to accomplish what He wants us to accomplish. While we are being fueled by God and His Word, He will give us healthy spiritual food to feed the spiritually malnourished so they can begin to live by every Word of God.

Luke 4:3-4:

³ And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 8:3 to the devil when the devil tempted Him in the wilderness. Jesus did not cave into the devil because He knew that no matter how hungry He was, the Word of God was enough to sustain Him in the fight against sin and the temptation to go against the instruction of God to "eat" something that the devil tempted him to produce. Do you know what the devil is trying to get you to produce and eat that is not scripture? Example is our thought life: Proverbs 6:19-23 tells us that the Word of God will lead us, keep us when we sleep, and talk with us when we are awake. Before it can do that though we must bind the commandments upon our heart not into our head. If we do not know the promises of God and do not search the scriptures, all we will believe is the negative outcomes of the movies "playing" on our ceiling as we go to sleep and begin talking to us the moment we wake up. It is time to search to scriptures and live on that Bread instead of false realities in our mind the devil uses against us so we can be fueled to cause someone else to see the promises of God play on their ceiling instead of the snare(s) they are in.

We are in a time where God desires to open up the scriptures to us during this season so we can be fueled to go win the lost, speak life instead of death, and be the victorious, dedicated, light of the World Body of Christ that will be a demonstration of the REAL and TRUE LIGHT while feeding the lost sheep in our harvest field.
