The Hard Word
Scripture: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13
Judgement messages are not prevalent by some preachers. There’s no way to preach the Word and the Word does not get hard somewhere. There is no way that you can read this Word that you won’t be disturbed someplace. You don’t even need a preacher to disturb you, just read that Word. The Word is a penetrating Word. It goes all the way down into your inner most being and then begins to make judgements in the secret place where you try to hide the real you.
Prayer: Almighty Father, thank You that you can and do speak to the deepest us. What You see and know Your Word speaks to us so we can be better sons and daughters and also increase in knowing You as our Father. Thank You that we can always believe what You say to us. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Proverbs 25:11-12
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver. 12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear. God bless His Word and His servant-they are wise rebukers. Now Lord I pray I will have an obedient ear.
Amen!
Amen
