living god's word by meditation and prayer
TRANSCRIPT
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews
4:12)
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for
training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2
Timothy 3:16-17)
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11)
11.1 We believe that personal faith is granted and sustained by God's Spirit232 through His Word233 and
prayer.234 The good fight of faith is fought mainly by meditating on the Scriptures235 and praying236 that God
would apply them to our souls.

11.2 We believe that the promises of God recorded in the Scriptures are suited to save us from the
deception of sin by displaying for us, and holding out to us, superior pleasures in the protection, provision,
and presence of God.237 Therefore, reading,238 understanding,239 pondering,240 memorizing,241 and
savoring242 the promises of all that God will be for us in Jesus are primary means of the Holy Spirit to break the power of sin's deceitful promises in our lives.
Therefore it is needful that we give ourselves to such meditation day and night.243

“For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” (Hebrews 10:34)

11.3 We believe that God has ordained to bless244 and use245 His people for His glory through the means of prayer, offered in Jesus'246 name by faith.247 All prayer
should seek ultimately that God's name be hallowed, that His kingdom come, and that His will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.248 God's sovereignty over all things is not a hindrance to prayer, but a reason
for hope that our prayers will succeed.249
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one
of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?”

11.4 We believe that prayer is the indispensable handmaid of meditation as we cry out to God for the inclination to turn from the world to the Word,250 and for the spiritual ability to see the glory of God in His testimonies,251 and for a soul-satisfying sight of the
love of God,252 and for strength in the inner man to do the will of God.253 By prayer God sanctifies His people,254 sends gospel laborers into the world,255 and causes the Word of God to spread and triumph over Satan and
unbelief.256
