32 Whosoever therefore shall confess ME (The Word) before men, him will I confess also before MY Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny ME (The Word) before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

(When "The Word" comes down from above to us, it often divides us from others who believe the world and the saying of this world.)
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than ME is not worthy of ME: and he that loveth son or daughter more than ME is not worthy of ME.

(The Word that comes down from above, from the Holy Spirit of God, is everything to us who believe.)
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after ME (after the Word), is not worthy of ME.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for MY sake shall find it.

Comments by Joan Boney:
After I was born again by God speaking "the Word" to me," I was taken into heaven in the night as I was sleeping. I was with God, with Christ, with the Holy Spirit. I saw no physical images. It was a spiritual experience. At that time I was merged into Jesus, made one with The Word of God.
I told this recently to a young man and he asked me, "What was it like after that?"
I replied, "Nothing else mattered to me after that. I no longer cared about my small business. I cared about God, Christ, and the church."
The Word is everything!
Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD (the Word).
When we have HIS Word on the matter that is all that matters.
We do HIS Word.
