The name of Christ as He comes to judge and defeat God’s enemy, is called the Word of God; As the Word of God, Christ speaks for God by executing God’s judgment upon the rebellious people, and we can be constituted with Christ as God’s word and speak the word of God today boldly, one with the Lord.
Lord Jesus, we love You as the Word of God. Thank You for coming to express God, define God, and manifest God. We open to You as the word of God. We want to know God and be infused with God by means of the Word of God. Oh Lord, have a way to judge in us what needs to be judged. Purify us. Cleanse us. Remove any unrighteousness in us. Make us one with You as the word of God to speak the word of God today! Amen!
As we live in this world today at the end of this age, we realise that the enemy has a prevailing way, and there’s a mystery of lawlessness operating among men today.
People are inclined toward unrighteousness, and even what is perceived as justice and righteousness today is so unjust and unrighteous.
The mystery of lawlessness operates in man today until one day the man of lawlessness will come, the Antichrist. When he comes, he will first be very positive and eloquent, drawing all men to himself, and then he will become evil, even to the point of leading all mankind to fight a war against God Himself.
Today, the whole world lies in the evil one, in the sphere of his influence.
We may know many people in the world, we may even have some friends and neighbours who are in the world, and we realise that they are in darkness, being deceived by Satan, and being thoroughly usurped.
Thank the Lord that we today can know Christ, enjoy Christ, and be saved from Satan’s usurpation and power of darkness. We choose Christ and we want to be under His rule today.
We want to enjoy Him today in the church life as the reality of the kingdom of God, realising that the church life is not only eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
We allow the Lord to judge in us anything that He exposes, anything that He does not agree with.
We want to take the lead today to deal with anything that He wants to deal with in us, and we allow Him to make His home deep down in our heart.
We believe that one day the Lord will return as the Word of God to judge all unrighteousness and all rebellious people by the word of His mouth.
Praise the Lord, Christ will judge in righteousness and also fight in righteousness, and we want to be one with Him on that day by being one with Him today!
The Lord’s Name is the Word of God, for He Expresses God, and we can Know God in Christ as the Word of God
In Revelation 19:13 we are told that the Lord’s name is called the Word of God. That is His name. In John 1:1 we are told that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
This Word became flesh and was incarnated to be a man (v. 14) to dwell among us and make God real to us. The Word was of God and was God, and He brought life to us.
The Word brought grace and reality to us, and the Word accomplished redemption for us. Christ is the Word of God; that the name of the Lord is called the Word of God means that He is the expression, the testimony, and the speaking of God. He is the Word of God from the beginning to the end.
The Word of God, on the positive side, is the definition, the explanation, and the expression of God.
If we want to know God, we can come to the Word of God, for the Word of God is Christ to express God and define God. We need to come to the Lord daily in His word to know God, enjoy God, behold God, and be infused with God.
The way for us to know god is to come to His word. His word is living and operative, working in us and infusing God into us on the positive side, and operating in us as a two-edged sword to divide the soul and the spirit on the negative side (Heb. 4:12).
There are many positive aspects of the word of God, and we believers in Christ are those who come to the Lord in His word to be freshly infused with Him and to gain Him.
In order for us to know God, we need to read the Bible, study the Bible, behold the Lord in His Word, contemplate Him, and gaze on Christ as the Word of God.
It is so enjoyable and so sweet for us to come to the Lord’s word, for His words are sweet as honey to our taste, as living water to our soul, and as food to our inner being to nourish us.
We can eat Christ as the Word of God and we can live because of Him (John 6:57, 63). On the negative side, Christ’s word is like a sword to defeat the enemy and cut him into pieces.
We need to enjoy the Lord as the Word of God as our food for our life, our supply, and our enjoyment. We also need to enjoy and experience Christ as the Word of God for fighting.
Today, we are in a warfare; there is a spiritual warfare we are involved in right now, whether we realise this or not, and in spiritual warfare, we need Christ as the Word of God.
When we come together with the saints and speak the word of God, when we’re in the church meetings, conference meetings, training meetings, and all kinds of meetings, we enjoy the Lord’s speaking, and the word of God is living and operative.
As we say Amen to God’s word, pray over God’s word, internalise God’s word with much prayerful consideration, and speak the word of God, the enemy is defeated, his ground in us is removed, and the Lord wins the victory in battle after battle.
Without God’s word, we are not only short of supply and direction but we don’t have a way to fight against the enemy.
In this age of darkness, confusion, and lawlessness, we need to have the Word of God in us and among us in a prevailing way so that the Word may be prevailing and victorious!
We should not focus on other things but the Word of God. We should learn the word, speak the word, and stand on the word.
It is so sad when many Christians today focus on prosperity, our benefit, healing, or anything else besides the word of God as our food and as our weapon when we come together.
May we ask the Lord to give us ears to hear the Word of God. May we learn to open to the Lord in His word as we come to Him daily.
May we be under the hearing of faith (Rom. 1:17) and may we spend time to study, digest, and assimilate the word of God.
In this way we will have the weapon to fight against God’s enemy and be defeated, for we will be constituted, equipped, and filled with the Word of God.
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see Christ as the Word of God. We open to You today. Oh, Jesus, living Word of God, wash us and cleanse us in Your blood, and grant us to hear Your speaking. We want to have the living speaking from the Lord, the living word of God. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming to us as the Word of God who became flesh to tabernacle among us and express God, define God, and explain God. We love coming to You in Your word to see the expression and testimony of God in You! We want to know God by reading, studying, and gazing on Christ as the Word of God. Amen, Lord, may Your word be living and operative in us. May Your word work in us to slay the enemy and also to constitute us with God’s riches. We want to behold You in Your word. We want to gaze on You and contemplate on You as the word of God so that we may be constituted with You as the word. Amen, Lord, may we be equipped and constituted with Christ as the Word of God so that we may speak God’s word with boldness to defeat God’s enemy! Amen!
Christ as the Word of God Speaks for God by Executing God’s Judgment upon the Rebellious People
In Revelation 19 we see that Christ is the Word of God who speaks for God by executing God’s judgment upon the rebellious people.
How does Christ fight the spiritual warfare? It is not by fleshly weapons or anything in the mind or soul but as the Word of God.
As the Lord fights, He speaks for God and expresses God. He is clothed with a garment dipped in blood because of His fighting at the battle of Armageddon.
His garment becomes red by His treading the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God (Rev. 19:15; Isa. 63:1-3) at Armageddon (Rev. 16:14, 16), where the blood will rise up to the bridles of the horses (14:20).
He comes to fight the enemy and defeats the enemy by His speaking. His fighting is the speaking of HIs word. Our God is a God of order; He cannot tolerate disorder and rebellion.
Today and throughout the ages until now and until the end of this age, the enemy has had a prevailing way to cause disorder, rebellion, and unrighteousness to be everywhere.
But one day the Lord will come as the Word of God and will judge the enemy by His speaking.
Our God is not a God of confusion; He is righteous and sovereign. Our God is a God of order, and as such, He cannot tolerate disorder and rebellion.
He comes to fight against the enemy, and as He fights, He will speak that God is sovereign, righteous, and orderly. As He fights, He speaks. He speaks, and He fights.
Christ will declare that God is the God over everyone and that He does not tolerate rebellion against His authority. The Warrior is the Word of God.
Today, people speak many things, and their words mean nothing; they are here today and gone tomorrow.
The Antichrist will speak bold and outrageous things against God, and he will lead the fallen humanity, with the false prophet, to fight against God.
However, Christ will come as the Word of God, and He will fight by speaking. He will tell the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the entire universe that God is sovereign and that no one can rebel against Him.
His speaking will be very powerful to defeat God’s enemy. Our God is a God of order who does not tolerate rebellion forever; He tolerates rebellion for now, but He will come and will sweep away all rebellion very soon!
In the Gospel of John, Christ as the Word of God speaks of redemption, light, life, and building. We need to enjoy Christ as the Word of God day by day to be washed, infused with life, shined on by God’s light, and built up into God’s house.
In the book of Revelation, Christ as the Word of God speaks not only of life and building but also of fighting.
Before God can have the building He desires, He must first clean up the universe. So Christ comes as the Word of God to fight and defeat all of God’s enemies by His speaking.
As the Word of God, Christ fights for God and proclaims to the whole universe what kind of God He is! Christ as the Word of God is not only for the impartation of life but also for the defeat of God’s enemy.
Christ will come as a General fighting the battle. He is riding on a white horse, and His name is called “the Word of God” (Rev. 19:11, 13). Amen!
He will fight for His kingdom. He fights by His speaking. In the warfare for the kingdom of God, Christ is the word of God speaking for God’s purpose.
May we be one with Him today. May we know the Word of God, be filled with the Word of God, be constituted and equipped with the Word of God, and speak the Word of God.
We need to declare the word of God as the gospel and as the truth to both the unbelievers and the saints.
Many of God’s children today are ignorant of the word of God; we need to be bold to speak the word of God everywhere, on every occasion.
On the one hand, we need the home meetings where we come together to enjoy the Lord in His word.
On the other hand, we need to prepare ourselves and be constituted with the Word when we come to the meetings of the church so that we may speak the Word of God (2 Tim. 4:2; 1 Cor. 14:4, 26).
As we come to the Lord in His word, He is dealing with all rebellion in us.
He is judging Satan and all his ground and works in our being. Any darkness in us is dispelled, and any death in us is removed by Christ as the Word of God.
Just as God had a way to speak through Christ and in Christ on the earth, and just as He could speak through the disciples in the early church and throughout the ages, so today we need to be those who speak the Word of God.
All the members of the Body of Christ can and should speak the Word of God.
Our family life, our church life and even the society in general will be very different, much more sanctified, when we all speak the word of God. May we be one with the Lord to speak Christ as the Word of God today!
Lord Jesus, thank You for being the word of life to us for us to enjoy You as life, be filled with life, and be constituted with the truth! Amen, Lord, we open to You today. Constitute us with the word. We give ourselves to You. May we be those who spend much time with You in the Word to partake of Your riches and be constituted with the truth. Speak to us, Lord. Speak in us. Speak through us. May You have a way to deal with all rebellion in our being through Your speaking. May You expose and remove all unrighteousness in us by Your living word. May Your kingdom come in us as You speak to us and we remain under Your speaking. Make us those who are bold to speak God’s word to those around us! Hallelujah, Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit is in us and we have the word of God in our hands for us to be one with Christ as the Word of God to speak God’s word! Amen, Lord, have Your way among us in our family life and in our church life as we all exercise to speak the Word of God! Cast out all rebellion! Remove any unrighteousness! Uproot the enemy from among us! Bring in Your kingdom among us by Your speaking! Amen!
