10-15-2025 PART 1: Breath on the Page When Scripture Comes Alive
Section 1
The heart of the message is that God’s Word is living when it’s mixed with faith. Drawing from Hebrews 4:16, Psalm 19:7, and 2 Timothy 3:16, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is “God-breathed”—the Holy Spirit’s breath animating the text so it restores the soul and ignites spiritual life. We don’t worship the Bible; we worship the God of the Bible. Yet Scripture is His chosen conduit for communion, guidance, and healing. Sometimes a single verse “leaps” off the page at just the right moment—not because God is a genie, but because the living Word speaks freshly to hearts that come in faith and expectation.
Section 2
Jesus modeled this in His confrontation with Satan, repeatedly answering from Deuteronomy and showing that we “live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” The “word” (rhema) connects with the written (logos), underscoring that God’s speech meets us through the text. Since faith comes by hearing the Word, and we walk by faith, our commitment must be to saturate ourselves in Scripture. Practically, that means shutting out distractions—phone, TV, noise—and meeting God with a listening heart. When we do, the Word reorders our thoughts, softens our hearts, and aligns our attitudes with Jesus.
Section 3
There’s also a testimony of disciplined pursuit: day after day in the Word and in prayer, not as a legalistic badge but as a lifeline. Across years, Scripture has repeatedly corrected frustration, fear, and self-focus, replacing them with peace and Christ-like humility. The takeaway is simple and strong: want to know God more? Go low on your knees and go deep in His Book. The Creator of the universe can surely write a book—and He did, for you. Let the breath of God in Scripture bring you to life, again and again.
