God speaks from the Bible.



“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:”      2 Peter 1:19(KJV)

The Bible tells us in our opening scripture, that we have a more sure Word of prophecy. The word translated Word in this verse is ‘logos.’ The logos of God is the entire body of divine revelation. It refers to God’s thoughts and His thinking. 

In John 1:1, the Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” It is revealed to us here that the Word of God is a person. Don’t approach the Word of God (Bible) in the same way you will approach a Chemistry text book or a newspaper. This is because every appointment with the scriptures is an appointment with God. Be conscious knowing that every time you read your Bible, God is going to talk to you.

The Word of God is a divine personality because according to John 1:1, the Word of God is God. John 1:3 says, “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” The Bible did not say all things were made by it, but rather the writer of the scripture under the influence and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit says, “All things were made by him, emphasizing to us that the Word (logos) of God has a divine personality.

Therefore, every time you read the Word of God have the consciousness knowing that God is talking to you.

Prayer
Dear Father my ears are open and my spirit is alert and ready to hear you speak to me from your Word today in Jesus Name, Amen.
