He Washes Me CLEAN in 2013 – E

Continuing with the CLEAN acronym:

E – Evoke His Word ~ “For the word of God is living and active (able to make things happen) 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.

Living and active: Strong’s Greek 1756 states, “to be at work; activity or energetic.” While another scholar states, “pertaining to being effective in causing something to happen; effective; able to bring about.”’^[1] His Word is at work, energetic and able to make things happen. Stir up His Word daily. Bring Scripture to mind. Allow His Word to live, to come to life. When we work, we must focus on the finished product. This involves a process of steps to complete the task at hand. Focus on His Word to bring about the energy to make things happen, which occurs only through the power of His Word at work in us.

“having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,” Ephesians 5:26b.

I am personally reading the NLT Chronological Bible through and making notes on each day’s reading. I make notes from the areas, which I highlight, that speak to me as I read. The highlighted areas may consist of one word, a phrase, a sentence, or a paragraph. Making notes help me reflect on what I read, help me understand what I read, and help me apply to my life what I read.

Therefore, I live effectively as I mature and become Alive by His Word. I study His Word, I partake of His Word to help me grow and develop. Evoking (stirring up, bringing to mind) His Word washes my mind, spirit, and emotions clean of damaging debris, while filling my mind, spirit, and emotions with activity and energy that causes life to occur effectively. Today, His Word is at work in me. Today, His Word produces activity and energy that offers life. Today, His Word causes something to happen. Expect His Word to cause something to occur as we Evoke His Word. He Washes Me CLEAN as I Evoke His Word.
