The Miraculous Ministry of the Word

What is the ministry of the Word of God? God’s Word is alive, active, piercing, and is a judge of the intentions of the heart. As believers, the Word of God should be given preeminence in our lives. We need to bathe our minds daily in His Word and listen to God’s voice.
