Word of God

But he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

The Gospel According to Matthew 4:4

The Acts of the Apostles 1:4-5

Commentary by Dr. Riktor Von Zhades

4 And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which said he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these few days.

Brethren:

Our Redeemer has stated that He would not leave us orphans (Read John 14:18), but would send us a helper, that being the Holy Spirit, (Read John 14:26, 16:7). It is this spirit that burns within us and guides us in many ways. It give us authority to speak in His name. Remember also that when questioned by the religious leaders of that time how our Savior said that the spoke only what the Father had given Him to speak, that the authority given unto Him was from the Father. (Read John 12:49-50) Likewise recall how in the Gospel of Luke¹, Jesus says to not meditate on what to say for He will fill your mouth along with wisdom with which to speak. He said to use it as a testimony for His name.

This can only be accomplished by the Holy Spirit that as mentioned above burns within us, consuming all that comes into its path, so that the Gospel of Christ could be brought forward. Therefore friends let us be bold in our words when speaking the truth, and shining the light of the Good News upon the lost.

1 See Luke 21:11-15
