Mirror Mirror Make Me a Marvel – Word of God is My DNA
God’s word comes to life – when we make it a part of our life
Joh 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Heaven Coming to Earth
• Heaven coming to earth
• The Word of God settled in heaven forever – Psa 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.
• If we make the word a part of our life, heaven would follow.

Word that Speaks
• In the beginning God said “Let there be light & there was light”” – Divine Fiat – Let there be Light. The same word of God proceeds through our day. In this hour, some part of God’s Logos is meant to become my Rhema. Logos is God’s unalterable word. Rhema is what I receive & experience when I have revelation of that part of His word. This Logos was in One Person, He became flesh. – word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord for me. This is activated by me reading God’s word every morning. Our pastoral work is to keep the process initiated & executed in our believers

Let there be – And It Was So
• Gen 1:6 Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”
Gen 1:7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
• Gen 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night,
• Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.

First Creation & New Creation
• Gen 2:1 – God finished His first Creation
• Jesus – It is finished – His New Creation
• Gen 2:2-3 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. (3) So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

God’s Word in My Mouth
• O Lord make all the words of my mouth be in alignment with all the words of your mouth – separate O Lord the precious from the vile in my mouth
• O Lord make all the words of your mouth for me today in every situation, be aligned with my mouth
• Open your mouth – I will fill – with My Word
• Ps 103:5 – Fill With Good
• Word of the Lord makes me rich
• Word of God in my mouth is as powerful as the word of God in God’s mouth

God’s Word is the Living Word
• God’s Word is the Living Word because
• God lives – inspired, God breathed,
• God yet speaks His word – word proceeds from the mouth of the Lord
• We partake of His word to Live the word – Word lives in our thoughts, words & deeds
• Mat 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”

All the Profit & All The Help
• 2Ti 3:15-17 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (16) All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; (17) so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

• Jas 1:17-25 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (18) In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. (19) This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; (20) for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. (21) Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. (22) But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. (23) For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; (24) for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. (25) But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

• The implanted word (ton emphuton logon). This old verbal adjective (from emphuō to implant, to grow in), only here in N.T., meaning properly ingrown, inborn, not emphuteuton (engrafted). It is “the rooted word” (Jam_1:18), sown in the heart as the soil or garden of God

• Jas 1:23-24 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; (24) for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

Four Step Forward Process – with the word

• Word of truth from above from the Father of Lights births us to be firstfruits – firstfruits produce other fruits
• Word proceeding becomes implanted word when, we hear & obey, and the engrafting word, removes old roots & grows new fruit.
• Keep looking in the mirror of Christ Word – see & receive more light of Christ & grow more of Christ. Daily removing the old man & putting on the new man created in Christ
• Live in the Perfect Law of Liberty – Completed & liberated in all our ways
Perfect Law of Liberty
NT Law Completes God’s Work in US
• Jas 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does – new law completes (OT Law condemns)
• OT Mirror – not enough. NT – much more I have for you
• Does not hear, does not do
• Hears & does not do
• Hears & does – repent – turn in your heart to obey
• Law of New Testament is Repent – Gift of God is eternal life
• Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Tragic Reversal – Retrogression
• Stop looking at the Mirror – old overtakes the new. Looking at glamour
• Stop receiving the engrafting word – filthiness & wickedness return
• Not hearing the word But hearing the world – speaking & provoked
• Lose the birth – old man raging
