Only those who do not know Jesus Christ, those who are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit, doubt the power of the Bible.  It is more powerful than any government, kingdom, empire, or standing army – and more powerful than all the principalities of evil in the supernatural world combined. 

THE BIBLE CLAIMS SPECIAL POWER

• The Bible claims the dividing power of a sword – separating man from sin –   Ps. 199:11 –  Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.  or sin will separate man from the Bible.  Isa. 59:2 – But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.
•  The Bible claims the reflective powers of a mirror,  Jas.1:22,25 –But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.  so that we may see ourselves as God sees us –  sinners – Rom. 3:23 –  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  
• The Bible claims the cleansing power as water.  Eph. 5:26 – That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word.  (not baptism!) David prayed – Ps. 51:2 – Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
• The Bible claims reproductive power as seed.  1 Pet. 1:23 – Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  We become children of God when we are born again of incorruptible seed.

John 3:1,7

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

• The Bible claims the sustaining power of food.  1 Pet. 2:2 -As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby.  If you do not study the Word, you will be a weak, ineffectual,  and sickly Christian.  Your spiritual growth will be stunted from lack of food. 

HEBREWS 4:11-13

¹¹ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

¹² For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

If you are born again – do not starve your New Born Man – starve the Old Dead Man – by filling up on the Word!
