Title: Does The Word of God Work in You?
Text:
1 Thessalonians 2:13 (HCSB)
This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the message about God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God, which also works effectively in you believers.
Observation:
Let me go on record as saying yes I believe the Word of God works because it works in me. The key is that you must read it and receive it into your heart. To work in you it must be in you.
Psalm 119:11 (HCSB)
I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
When you receive God’s Word into your heart you are in good hands. You will be amazed at the changes that will take place in you when God begins His work. God is not like man, He finishes what He starts.
Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
The members of the church at Thessalonica had a high view of scripture; they viewed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God. It worked in their lives effectively, and it still works effectively in the lives of God’s people who read it, receive it, and heed it.
Psalm 119:105 (HCSB)
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.
Isaiah 40:8 (HCSB)
The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God remains forever.”
This is my invitation to you; open your heart to God and His Word.
Psalm 34:8 (NLT)
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
Prayer:
Father God, I am so thankful for the Word of God and for the blessing it is in the lives of those who receive it. Father, I ask You to stir within us a burning desire to taste and see that the Word of God is good for us, and that it works. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Matthew 4:4 (HCSB)
4 But He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Psalm 2:8 (HCSB)
8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.
