"Now Word-Fresh Word"???

 "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."  (Hebrews 4:12)
 
Over the years I have heard people talk about a "now word" and a "fresh word."  My dear friend in Christ, how much more "now" and "fresh" can anything or anyone be than The Word of God, Jesus Christ, and His "Breathed" Words?  Do the "now word" and "fresh word" people think our text is incomplete?  Or could it be that most do not want the described Work of our text in their lives? 
 
Please study this text very carefully.  "Every Scripture is God-Breathed and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action), so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work." (Amplified Bible)  The combined texts perfectly sum up the purpose of the "Two-Edged Sword" in our lives. 
 
I implore you to join me today in submitting to this powerful, sharp, piercing, discerning, profitable, instructing, reproving, convicting, correcting, disciplining-in-obedience, training, completing, proficient-making Word, Whose Purpose is to mold us into "well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work" citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.
 
Father, in Jesus' Name, please keep working This purpose in me.  Amen.
