The Authority of the truth of the word when spoken out or sung out is powerful, it has an effect on every thing when we understand the power of that word as we release it.

Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name,
O LORD God of hosts.

Exodus 25:31-40 "Make a lampstand of pure gold and hammer it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms shall be of one piece with it. 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
37 "Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. 38 Its wick trimmers and trays are to be of pure gold. 39 A talent of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. 40 See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

Psalm 2:6
"But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain."
Psalm 45:6
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
Flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms on the lampstand --
buds open to blossoms
blossoms form cups
cups hold the fragrant oil
oil to keep the flame alive
burning bright
a beautiful sight
burn with all your might ...
Arise my dove, my beautiful one
Lift up your head towards the Son
Soak in His light, drink in His love
Let me hear your voice my sweet sweet dove
Your bud will blossom with wonderful perfume
The scent of life, heavenly fragrance from above
Let the oil flow, let your light burn bright
A beautiful sight, burn with all your might
Arise my dove, my beautiful one
Lift up your head towards the Son
Let the King of Glory come in
Come in thru the gates of praise
Up from the clefts, leaning on the rock, my dove
Show me your face, my beautiful one
Let me hear your voice my sweet sweet dove.
Song 2:10-14
My lover spoke and said to me,
"Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, and come with me.
See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me."
My dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.
Psalm 24:7-10
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah

Come, eat, eat the bread of life the word of God --
That your strength may be renewed to run the spiritual race, reach the goal and win the prize.
Come, eat, eat the bread of life the word of God --
That you may be awake with your eyes open and
your love for me kept strong and alive thru the watches of the night.
Who is the 'Faithful and True' ?
Revelation 19:11-16
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
__________________________________________
The 'Faithful and True' -- his name is the Word of God! With justice he judges and makes war. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
The cure for spiritual blindness -- eye salve -- what is this?
The Greek word for "eye salve" is the word kollourion, transliterated "kollourion" which is the name of a then - popular type of eye salve that was made in Laodicea around the time that the Book of Revelation was written. The interesting thing about this eye salve is that it came in lumps shaped like small loaves of bread. In fact, the name is a diminutive form of the Greek word for a loaf of bread. So Jesus can be understood to be telling us to rub something into our eyes that is in some way related to bread. Now what could that thing be?
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "

Psalm 119:147-148
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.
My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.
Matthew 6:11
Give us today our daily bread.
Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good;
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
More on 'tasting', 'testing' and 'seeing'!
Ezekiel 3:1-3
Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel." So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you " Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good.
Taste: Hebrew word - ta'am (tah-ahm): to taste, to eat; to discern, to perceive; to evaluate. This verb refers to the testing of good by means of the sense of taste. From the primary sense of physical tasting, ta'am developed into the idea of evaluating by the sampling of things other than food. Ta'am as a noun came to refer to "discernment," that is, the capacity to choose and delight in good things.
Psalm 119:16
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O LORD God of hosts.
"EAT THIS SCROLL"
From:
http://www.metadesignworks.com/pages/eatscrol.html
Interpretation: Liquid revelation, multi dimensional, crossing the lines of time and space, glowing with radiant glory, filled with everlasting to everlasting. Elements of seeming contradiction, yet coexisting in continuing balance. By human eye it is as if chaos, but by the Spirit it is of divine order. The living word of God. The burning consuming Word of God, reaching out to consume the one that desires to partake. The water (The Holy Spirit represented by the blue and green ribbons) of the deep moves gently around and over the written word (- logos: a transmission of thought, communication, a word of explanation, divine revelation, instruction, an oracle, divine promise, divine declaration. Jesus is the living logos, the Bible is the written logos, and the Holy Spirit utters the spoken logos) that begins to have an effect upon the scroll. The word becomes alive and begins to leaps off the page as understanding is revealed -REVELATION. As the observer eats of the scroll he becomes the partaker infused with the divine nature of the living word. Electric and alive, full of power, and radiant glory...eat this scroll and taste and see that the Lord is truly good.

Psalm 98:4 Shout for joy to the LORD , all the earth burst into jubilant song with music.
Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
If we can detect God's presence in our lives there is a joy that springs up. When we detect His presence nothing can stop that joy - not even circumstances. His presence & joy are eternal!
1 Peter 1:8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and you rejoice with a glorioius (unspeakable) inexpressible joy.
Psalm 45:7-8 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.
John 15:9-11 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
Nehemiah 8:10 The JOY of the LORD is our strength!!!
| Tested faith contains great glory. You are tried and true; the temple of his dwelling. Waters have cleansed the treasure in the clay. Creation awaits the day. Time speaks of an end and the dawn of a better day that never ends. Shine while the earth shakes. Sing the praise of life eternal in Jesus Christ. Christ coming. Love reigns. Dry bones live. Dreams and visions increase. Pride falls. Sinners repent. Shame is not in your name. The dove descends. God's voice shakes the earth. We worship. Rise and be healed. Such as I have, I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk. We praise,run, and leap with joy. Be strengthened by his might. The world sees your witness. Pray and live in the Holy Spirit. Walk in his will. Leap with his joy. Praise with his power. Love with his heart.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run,
but only one gets the prize?
Come to the table
The table prepared in the presence of your enemies
Be prepared for the race, refreshed, invigorated
Let your head be anointed with oil
Let your cup overflow
Heavenly fellowship
Heavenly sustenance.
Run with perseverance the race marked out by His hand
Run to finish the race
Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Always be clothed in white
Always anoint your head with oil.
Scriptures:
Psalm 23:5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
_____________________________________________________________
*** AMP footnote
Psalm 23:5 It is difficult for those living in a temperate climate to appreciate, but it was customary in hot climates to anoint the body with oil to protect it from excessive perspiration. When mixed with perfume, the oil imparted a delightfully refreshing and invigorating sensation. Athletes anointed their bodies as a matter of course before running a race. As the body, therefore, anointed with oil was refreshed, invigorated, and better fitted for action, so the Lord would anoint His "sheep" with the Holy Spirit, Whom oil symbolizes, to fit them to engage more freely in His service and run in the way He directs--in heavenly fellowship with Him.

1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Acts 20:24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
Ecclesiastes 9:8
Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil.
2 Timothy 2:19-21
Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
__________________________________________________
Whoever purifies himself
Will be an instrument set apart
Useful to the Master
Useful for honorable and noble purposes,
Consecrated and profitable to the Master,
Fit and ready for any good work.
Be washed thru the word
That you may be without stain or wrinkle
Holy and blameless, radiant
A useful instrument in the Master's hands.
A hammer is useless until placed in the carpenter's hand.

Useless Hammer

I am nothing more than a useless hammer
Until placed in the carpenter's hand
I am nothing more than a wand'ring pilgrim
All alone in a far-away land
Im am nothing more than a very small child
Not yet grown up into a man
I am nothing more than a useless hammer
Until placed in the carpenter's hand
Use me Lord
This will always be my humble plea
Give me faith
Built upon the cross of Calvary
Use me Lord
I will be your servant to the end
Give me strength
Like a tempered steel, I will not bend
A hammer lays quiet and lifeless and still
It can't on its own do a thing
But placed in the hands of the one with the skill
Its pounding will make Heavens ring

Thank You Lord that You know who belongs to You. Help me to rightly handle Your word, to be cleansed. Purify me, wash me thru Your word, that I may be a useful instrument in Your hand, prepared to do and accomplish Your purposes.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
Jeremiah 23:25-29
"I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the LORD. "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
Let the fire of His word burn in your heart.
Let the stone, the rock hardness of your heart be shattered by His hammer. Let Him give you a new heart, a new Spirit, the Spirit of the living God.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Let the Spirit of the living God write His word upon your heart. Be a letter from Christ. Keep His word hidden deep within your heart.
2 Corinthians 3:3
You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Revelation 1:3
Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
by Lynn Anderson
If you were to convince me that that there is no Father in Heaven and Jesus never went to the cross for me, I think I would lose my mind. I might even lose my life. And I am sure I would lose my soul! I would be a sheep without a shepherd and my 23rd un-Psalm might sound something like this:
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Thank You Lord that You are our shepherd, that we are the sheep of Your pasture under Your tender care.
