1. "Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord…”
“Then I said, ‘I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name.’ But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not.”
(Jeremiah 20:9)
"Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord…”

God’s Word comforts us and provides warmth (Psa.119:50).
God’s Word penetrates (Heb.4:12; Eph.6:17; Acts 2:37; 7:54).
God’s Word purifies (John 15:3; Eph.5:25-27; 1 Pet.1:22).
God’s Word destroys (2 Thess.1:7-9).

(2) You must commit God’s Word to memory (Psa.119:93).
(3) You must submit your life to God’s Word (Deut.13:4; Matt.22:37).
