✍️TOPIC: THE QUICKENING POWER OF THE WORD I
📖 “7 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.” Psalm 119:107 (KJV)
The word “Quicken” simply mean “to give life and to preserve life”. According to criptures, the Holy Spirit is the one who gives life; quickens us while the word of God is the instrument that the Holy Spirit uses to accomplish this work. (II PETER 3:18, ROM. 8:11)
It is through God’s word that the Holy Spirit quicken us with new life, so that we become partakers of the Divine nature. Ephi. 2:1 tells us that we are dead spiritually and when the miracle of New Birth takes place,, we are quickened by the Holy Spirit to be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. This is the first work of quickening by the Holy Spirit according to the word of God.
It is through God’s word that the Holy Spirit quickens us in our desire to pray and guides our praying. It is the indwelling Holy Spirit who prompts us to pray and how to pray. As Christians, we must be frequently conscious of the Holy Spirit within us, urging us to pray. He leads us to the place of prayer and then, He shows us how to pray. (Luke 18:13, Rom. 8:26-27)
Dear believers in Christ, we must be conscious of these activities in our lives. The more we stay in the word of God, the more we will be familiar with the quickening of the Holy Spirit.
