June 15, 2023: You Can't Stop God

"So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily." (Acts 19:20, ESV)

You can't stop God! Psalm 2:4 says that He who sits in the heavens laughs at those who rage against Him. God has given us His Word, as in His Son, and He has given us His written Word! Look at what the Word does! The Word of God increases, and it prevails mightily! You cannot stop it!
    
The Logos is the written word of God. It is the sum of God's revelation given to humankind. The words 'continued to increase' come from a rare Greek word meaning "to grow to the limit, to attain great power, to achieve the highest position."* That is so powerful! This is what the Word does in an individual's life who trusts God and takes Him at His Word. The Word achieves the highest position. It dominates! It dominates sickness! It dominates poverty! It dominates depression! What do you need the Word to dominate in your life?
    
The Word 'prevails mightily.' The Word is strong. It prevails. It overcomes. It is powerful! It can do all of these things because it is God's Word. It comes from God, our God—the God who cannot be stopped. The Word works for those who work the Word. Memorize it, meditate on it, declare it! It will work for you!
