Walk in HIM ... Rooted in HIM
Col. 2 ... As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in HIM:7 Rooted and built up in HIM, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
In the beginning there was "THE WORD" ... who was with God ... John 1:1
"The WORD" became flesh, became the form of flesh, and dwelt among us and died to take away our sins.
"The WORD" sits now on right hand of God and intercedes for us.
God sends "The Word" to us now by HIS Spirit which dwells in us who believe. So "The Word" is with us continually, day and night. "The Word, guides us, teaches us, shows us what to do as we live on this present earth!
There is nothing like "The Word" ... nothing, no one equals "The Word".
HE is certainly "worthy" to rule over us as we live on this earth.
I delight in "The WORD" ruling over me.
For HE, "The WORD", is life.
I was born again in 1975.
After that (a few days or weeks later), in the night, I was "transported" into heaven, in the spirit. I was with God, with Jesus, with the Holy Spirit. At that time I was merged into the body of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit witnessing.
It was wonderful!
A few nights after this, the exact same thing happened again.
*****
When I awoke on earth, I had the following concept in me: There is nothing that equals "The Word" ... no relationship on this earth is equal to "The Word" ... no matter how wonderful a marriage on this earth is, it does not equal our relationship with "The Word."
And so it is!
"The Word" comes to us as a thought, showing us what to do on this earth. Often we are reminded of a scripture and by that we are shown what to do. Sometimes we are reminded of a dream given us by God and we know what to do.
We are not left alone on this earth to fend for ourselves as the world does, groping with our own wisdom. Instead, we are continually given "The Word" to show us what to do.
And as we read the Bible and think on that brought to our attention from the scriptures, we see what to do.
We are guided continually by "The Word."
Jesus even said to God: Sanctify them through THY truth: THY word is truth. Jn. 17:17
*****
Thus the apostle Paul says to us ... Walk in HIM, in "The Word" ... be rooted in HIM, "The Word" ... be established in HIM, by believing what HE says to us ... Col. 2:6-7
Focus on that which HE has brought to your mind! Be strong in that word. Think on that day and night. Let the root system develop by your thinking on that which HE has spoken to you.
This is the way we come to maturity in God ... Thinking on that which HE has said to us and doing that which HE has said... refusing to give up ... continuing in "The Word."
