The Word of God in the Bible is written by divine inspiration.

The Word of God in the Bible is not ordinary language, because it was written by divine inspiration.

The Word of God is alive!

Moreover, it is sharper than two swords.

It's a double-edged sword... it can cut cleanly from either side!

And it penetrates our hearts, our souls, and even the marrow of our bones. 😰
It can cut sharply into the shallows, the deepest parts, and even the hardest parts of our being, revealing the motivations and thoughts that drive us to walk this path. 🤔

There's more... 🥶
It mentions "the thoughts and intentions of the heart"...
These are all the movements of the heart that occur within us.
All the emotions, all the wills, and the various thoughts within us.
The Word penetrates into all of these. ⚔️

Even those who come to church... hide their emotional wounds... 😥
The Lord knows.

Even if humans don't understand,
God sees everything 🧐
...Even if a pastor knows, all they can do is pray until the other person makes a decision 🛐
...Therefore, to heal that emotional wound, the person's consent is needed...and God's loving healing is necessary❗️.
When you make a decision...and truly confront yourself,
true healing and transformation will begin from the depths of your being❗️
...God's word is...
"The power of love, the life-giving power that transforms people."

Shalom 😃
