The Scripture is God-Breathed
“God has transmitted his very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness.”
2 Timothy 3:16 TPT
When the bible says that every scripture is God-breathed, it carries great implications for the believers and unbelievers. How? The scripture is not just a storybook! No! It contains the very breath of God Himself - the spirit of God and whatever the Spirit of God touches must come alive. The life-giving Spirit of God has never met anything dead that He can’t resurrect.
Let’s look at some examples: In the beginning, when Adam’s body was created, it was not until God breathed into the nostrils of Adam before Adam could come alive (Gen 2:7). Adam’s body was lifeless until God breathed on Him. In Ezekiel 37:1-10, at the valley of dry bones, it was not until the breath of God came upon the bones that they could come alive. Also, the only way the disciples of Jesus Christ could become born again was for Jesus to breathe on them (John 20:22).
Now 2 Tim 3:7 says the Word of God (that is the scriptures) is God-breathed and that means it will make anything it comes in contact, no matter how dead abs hopeless it may look, to come alive. Do you have anything in your life that looks hopeless and there is no way out? Then start to meditate on and speak the word of God over those things.
As you study the Word, you are actually inhaling God’s breath into your spirit. If God could open your eyes to see what happens when you say His Words after Him, you will see a double-edged sword coming out of your mouth to slay the situations that you face.
Beloved, instead of despairing about the situation, say the Word over the situation and actively use your imagination to see those words slaying the situation. There is nothing that will come to you in the future of 100 years from now that the Word of God properly harnessed and used will not be effective to overcome.
Jesus said in John 6:63, that His words are spirit and life. This means His words are spiritual and they produce life. God’s words in your mouth too are spiritual and they will always produce life. This is the reason why the first place the devil attacks is to try to discourage you from either studying the Word by being too busy etc or he tries to deceive or confuse you in not rightfully understanding it.
God has given you offensive weaponry. Of all the weapons listed as part of the armour of God in Eph 6, the Word of God is the only offensive weapon - all others are defensive. The Word must matter so much for God Himself could not create without it. Rise up today and use the Word over your life. Don’t relegate the Word to second place in your life. Make the Word first and it will empower you to deal wisely in all the affairs of your life.
The Word of God is the breath of God that always produces life. It has never failed and it will not fail in your life - if you dare to use it. Remember, the Word of God in your mouth is like God Himself speaking. Guess what? God watches over those words to bring them to pass. Your job and mine is to learn to speak the word in faith knowing fully well that the same Word that raised Lazarus from the dead is at work in you.
There is no situation in this life that the breath of God, His Word can’t overturn. So, start today. Engage the Word. Eat the Word. Give the Word the highest priority it deserves in your life and you will enjoy the benefits.
