Do You Need God’s Power in Your Life?
“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.”
Hebrews 4:12

The Bible is not the book of the month. It is the book of the ages. It has survived and it is applicable. It is up to date. It is relevant. “The word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Peter 1:25).
There is life-changing power in this book. I have preached this book long enough to know it’s not like any other book. We read other books, but this book reads us. God says His Word is quick and powerful. God says, “Is not My word . . . like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29). Even the hardest rock will break. I’ve seen it happen so many times. The Bible has real power.
What kind of power? It has power to save the sinner. It has power to break addiction. It has power to bring humility to the proudest person. It has power to heal the broken parts of your story. You won’t be saved, and you won’t get anybody else saved apart from the Word of God. The Gospel of Christ is the dynamite of God that saves.
- Where do you need to see God’s power right now?
- Who in your life needs the power of Jesus?
Pray and ask God to work in the life of someone you know through the power of His Word.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
