Speaking the Word of God – Christ is the living Word! (sharing from the conference in Portugal)

Based on the recent conference in Portugal with the main subject being, Speaking the Word of God, here is a song written by brother Steve W. that would encapsulate the main points presented in this conference regarding this topic. The tune for this song is the one used for Hymns #882.

1. The speaking God created man, His image to express,
And with a spirit and a mouth the man was surely blessed;
Now by the speaking in the Son, the Lord, we represent,
And as the oracle of God, to all the world are sent.

Chorus
Christ is the living Word!
Christ is the living Word!
O glorious, living Word! With Him we build the Church.

2. The beautifying, washing Word prepares the bride of Christ,
To sanctify the church, His bride, in Spirit and by life;
Christ as the Spirit and the Word, God’s enemy, will slay,
When as the corporate warrior we in spirit always pray.

3. The Word of Christ can dwell in us, and our real person be,
To make His home within our heart experientially;
The more the Word will occupy our heart, our strength, and time,
The more, as luminaries, we speak forth, proclaim, and shine.

4. To live a normal Christian life, we must be speaking ones,
Who love the Lord, who are revived, who deadness overcome;
We by our spirit in the Word, a Word of wisdom give,
And by the Spirit are renewed, the speaking life to live.

5. The present Christ, our great High Priest, will minister the Word,
His word of righteousness will cause the saints to be matured;
The Word of God will multiply, will grow, and will prevail,
The speaking Church will spread good news; and soon His coming hail.

Praise the Lord for His up-to-date speaking! We can be normal Christians today by being those allowing the Word of Christ dwell in us richly – and then speaking out not our own words but His Word dwelling in us! Our speaking the Word of God will produce us as overcomers and will also bring the Lord back!

We are being daily perfected in speaking for God and speaking God forth until we become “the Spirit and the Bride say, Come!” – we become one with the Lord Spirit in His speaking!
