HIS WORD SENT FORTH

“I have sworn by Myself, the Word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” (Isa. 45:23)

There is a sense in which every man makes his own “hell” when he goes the route of his own self-will, for when faced with the light and truth it will cause a combustion, until all the rebellion, enmity, self-will is consumed, and when the whole is purged, the hell is over, and the personal heaven begins. Hell and heaven are a condition, a state of being.

We find it most significant that the Greek word for fire is “pur,” from which we build up all our English words such as purge, purify, purgatory, etc. There is a fire to be endured, but only until all the negative elements have been removed, and “where there is no wood, the fire goeth out.” Yet, it is to be remembered that all of this purging is balanced with the hope that is given by the ministry of HIS WORD OF LIFE COMPANY.

As the Father speaks, sends forth the Word of His mouth, in a positive triumphant ministry, it shall not cease until every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that HE IS LORD. This is not a confession produced by coercion, for “no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Spirit.” (1 Cor. 12:3). Therefore this confession is the result of that ministration when “I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.” (Joel 2:28).

Furthermore, Paul taught, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men… manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.” (2 Cor. 3:2-3). Paul realized that those who received the WORD OF LIFE through him, were literally engraved upon his heart, and in the day when the book was opened, he would testify that they had received the message with gladness, and walked therein.

Wherever the sphere of your influence reaches, the Spirit flowing through you shall quicken with His life. “He sent His Word, and healed them.” (Ps. 107:20).
