In this episode we are going to center our attention on the Word of God.

If we are not committed to keeping the Word of God central to our experience with God we will not consistently or accurately discern the voice of God.

What is so unique about the Word of God that warrants its centrality in our lives?

The Uniqueness of the Word:

1. It’s eternal.

-1 Peter 1:22-25

2. It’s perfect.

-Proverbs 30:5-6

-Psalm 12:6

3. It’s powerful.

-Hebrews 4:12

4. It’s corrective.

-Psalm 19:7-13

Romans 8:26-27

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”
