It is very difficult for any man to know the will of God except by the Word of God as revealed by the Holy Spirit. The word of God is the foundation for our relationship with God. Adam failed to recognize this fact when he was still in the Garden of Eden. He and God were in a unique partnership that was the marvel of all creation. God created things while Adam named them. Unfortunately, Adam allowed familiarity to damage his partnership with God.
There is always a tendency for people to abuse partnerships and because God is open and is love, it is especially easy for us to abuse our partnership with Him. In order to understand God, you need to understand His word.
The book of Revelation gives us a glimpse into what is in heaven. We see God in all His splendor and
magnificent majesty, yet allowing to interact with creatures, far less magnificent than He is. Although He is seated on the throne, He is still a lamb. We see that around the throne of the Lord God Almighty, there
are elders and beasts. This shows His openness and the fact that there is nothing hidden from Him. When one studies God’s word, they easily get to know Him and His will.
…Many people want to know God through His power or His works, but then forget that the most fundamental thing that started the whole creation was the word of God. The word was with God and the word was God (John 1:1), so when you get the word of God, the will of God will be revealed in your heart.
The Bible reveals to us that the Word is God, and also that God is a Spirit. That means that the Word and the Holy Spirit work in harmony.
1 John 5:7 (NKJV) For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
This is why the Holy Spirit came upon and anointed Jesus who went about doing good and healing all that
were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). Jesus as the Word could not be effective here on the earth without receiving the Holy Spirit who came upon Him when He was baptized. There is a deeper connection and relationship between the Word and the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit cannot move unless the [Word] has come, and the word is not effective unless it is anointed by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is only when we understand the word of God that we will understand how this world was framed and how it functions.
By the word of God, we will understand where the money is, the life is, the good relationships are and so much more. The word of God is vital for us if we will understand the things of God. The book of Proverbs says:
Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
We must understand that everything started with God because He was there in the beginning. Therefore, without Him and without the word, you have nothing: not friends, not money, not ministry, nothing!
