The Authority of The Word | Gina Elmes | 23rd March 2025

Ps Gina speaks on the Authority of the Word of God - the Bible says that God has all authority over heaven and Earth! God is the author, the originator, the creator. Page one, chapter one, verse one of the Bible is meant to colour the rest of the whole entire Bible. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. This frames every other scripture, every other account.

God's word needs to be the final Authority for our lives. When we pray and in times of attack in our lives, in times of temptation, for all the spheres of our lives, for our money, our relationships, our family life, our children, our jobs. The most effective prayer is when we use The Word. When Satan tempted Jesus, he was rebuked by The Word of God being quoted. If this works for Jesus, it will for us!

The world throws all sorts of lies and untruths to us daily, the best defence and offence is God Word. Ephesians 6:14-17 (NIV) "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".

Daily we need God's Armour and His Word to fight the battles we are up against.
