1.14 Feeding on the Word of God

God’s Word is life and food for our spirit man and our faith. It is for spiritual consumption. In the first of the three temptations, Jesus replied to Satan and said:

(Matt 4:4)
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by BREAD alone, but by every WORD that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Jesus is telling us that we need to live on the spiritual bread of God’s Word just as we need to eat physical bread. Jesus declared that His Word is spirit and life.

(John 6:63)
The WORDS that I speak to you are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.

The life from His Word will nurture our spirit man and our faith to grow. His Word also has the creative power to produce healing in our bodies.

The question is – how do we actually eat something that is not physical? How do we eat the Word of God to feed our faith? We do so through meditation on the Word of God. In the next message, we will share about the principles of meditation on God’s Word to receive healing.
