God’s DNA Is In His Word
Think about that for a moment, what does it mean when the Bible says ‘all Scripture is God–breathed’. Did you know that when you breathe out you are exhaling, not only air, but also saliva that contains your DNA (the genetic configuration that makes you unique) Your genetic code is in your breath! Now apply that principle to reading the Bible, and you will understand how vital it is to your spiritual life.
John tells us ‘the Word was God’ (John 1:1 NKJV), so anytime you feast on God’s Word, you’re ingesting [taking on] His attributes. That’s why the Enemy will try to keep you so busy that you have no time to read your Bible. The truth is, many of the issues we struggle with could be resolved or eliminated altogether if we developed a hunger for God’s Word. Job said, ‘I have not departed from His commands, but have treasured His words more than daily food.’ (Job 23:12 NLT)
Jeremiah, who was so dejected that he became known as ‘the weeping prophet’, said, ‘Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.’ (Jeremiah 15:16 NKJV)
Jesus experienced every test and trial known to man; He even went toe–to–toe with the Tempter. What was the secret of His strength? He said, ‘It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”’ (Matthew 4:4 NKJV) Today get God’s Word into you—it’s His DNA
