Whispers of His Power – OCTOBER 3
2 Kings 2.19: The water is naught.
Gal. 2.20: 1 am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2.20 is the word of the spring that is healed. The water is naught, but when we truly trust the renewing force of the word of God, then His power makes that which is ‘naught’ flow out in blessing to others.
The salt was put in a new cruse. The power comes to us by means of the word which is more than a mere word – some promise of our God which we have made our own.
What is your greatest need today? There is in this wonderful Book of ours the exact word that meets that need.
Try it; prove it; stand on it. It will not fail you.
oooOOOooo
