Exo Msg 58

1. If we want the Word of God to function properly in our experience, we need to be "plugged in" to the divine current whenever we read it.
2. Just as it is not possible to separate the breath of a living person from the person himself, so we should not separate the Word of God from God Himself.
3. The functions of the law as God's living word are actually the moving and working of God Himself.
4. If we contact the Lord by praying with the Word, we shoall receive life from the Word.
5. We need to exercise our spirit in reading the Word, and we need to aspire to contact the Lord.
6. To receive the Word by prayer obviously requires that we pray the Word.
7. Praying is the best way to stop our gossiping tongue.
8. In psalming we muse upon the Word.
9. When we contact the Word in a living way, praying, singing, psalming, and thanking, we shall be saturated with the Lord and become one with Him.
10. Only when we have continual, personal, living, and intimate contact with the Lord all day long do we truly live by breathing Him.
11. We contact this living One through the Word and are infused with Him and saturated with Him so that He becomes our life and our very being.
12. If we praise the Lord in the meetings without praising Him in our daily life, our meetings will be a performance, and we shall be actors.
13. When the word of Christ inhabits us richly, it permeates, saturates, and sustains every part of our inner being.
14.
