IT IS WRITTEN .....

ST. LUKE 4:4

And Jesus answered him, saying,  It is written,  THAT MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context;  Jesus, said to the devil;  human beings are not made to eat bread only, but also the word of God.  We are made of Spirit, Soul, and Body;  when we eat bread, we satisfy the body;  the word of God satisfies the spirit of God within us:  without the word of God, we walk around hungry though we eat bread everyday.

Case in point,  when we hunger; our stomachs are empty, and we look forward to eat big meals; however, during a fast, we read the word, pray and are strengthen by the Holy Spirit;  and hunger not until we break the fast.  Lets ask ourselves why?  Jesus, already answered the question for us in the above scripture,  we live not only on bread;  but by every word of God.
 
Brethren, have you ever tried to read the word of God when (ill stricken, sorrowful, depress, lonely, or in tribulation)?.  If you have, you will realize that there is nothing that can elevate your spirit from the affliction than the word of God.   We can depend on a (friend, family member, or a physician) for healing, or comfort through the situation;  but that might be temporary:  because we might be nursing the body, but the spirit is still hungry for the word of God.

The enemy hinders children of God, from reading his word, because, our spirit aligns itself with God, when we read his word; and we are be able to know things of the spirit, and will resist the devil.  Have you ever receive a phone call, or text message at a time when you need to pray, or read the scriptures?   If you have, that is the influence of the enemy forces, to hinder you from having that relationship with God.  The best way to handle such situation is to forward the call to your voice mail, and put God first;  if the call is an emergency, by all means answer it; but beware of the devil's tricks.

The bible is not just scripts put together as a book; it is living words of God:  it heals the sick, comforts the sorrowful, and elevates the poor in spirit:  when we read his word everyday, we shall overcome all afflictions of the enemy.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord,  are you feeding yourself with the word of God yet?  If not, try to read a verse, or chapter of his word everyday;  Jesus will help you with the rest, and you will never go hungry in the Spirit.   Read the word of God, believe the word, pray without ceasing, rebuke the devil, and he will flee away from you in Jesus Name!  Amen and Amen!

(John 1:1)  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and Word was God.
