Exodus 19:16-21:21, Matthew 23:13-39, Psalms 28:1-9, Proverbs 7:1-5
What God said to me – Those I have called to be My children, I have gifted with various spiritual gifts and called them to exercise those gifts in a variety of ministries. My word is an essential component in each of My children’s lives whether or not they are called to teach or to preach. It is necessary for you to walk in a manner worthy of your calling, so give it much time and attention. One of the functions of My Spirit in the lives of My children is Teacher. He will teach you and disclose truth to you as you dedicate time to study and to learn. You should be able to make a defense of the gospel and present truth from My word to those who are questioning or maligning it. Keep My teaching as the apple of your eye – it should be dear to you – it should be important to you – it should be as necessary a part of your daily life as air and food. Much of the hesitancy My children have in speaking up and sharing My word is for lack of confidence because of lack of time spent in it. It’s a matter of priorities and dedication. Do you truly treasure My word?
