The Word of God is described as alive. Powerful. Sharper than even the sharpest two-edged sword. It exposes our deepest thoughts and the secret motives and desires of our heart. This is especially true when it comes to the letters written in red. The words of Jesus Himself—the Word who became flesh. The One who loves us so much that He suffered, bled, and died a cruel death so we could have eternal life and so much more.
Jesus referred to Himself as the following:
- The Way – When we lose our way, He will help us find it and keep us on the right path. He is also the one and only way to the Father.
- The Truth – When too many voices clamor for our attention and we don’t know who or what to believe, He will lead us to the truth. He is the truth.
- The Life – When we struggle to make sense of our very existence, He fills us with love, strength, and purpose. He promises us abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven.
Whenever you’re downcast and need some comfort and guidance, open your Bible and turn to the red letters. There, you will find everything you need.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6–7 NKJV

Father, thank You that Your Word is powerful, alive and sharper that even the sharpest two-edged sword. We're finding that it exposes our deepest thoughts and secret motives and desires of our hearts, especially when it comes to our reading the words printed in red in the KJV Bibles.
#18 Testimony- Butch and Kimberly
Ever since I, Butch, was a young child I have always loved trains, and I love to travel on trains. My wife Kimberly and I were praying about where to share the gospel one day, for we go soul winning every week out to the highways and byways of the cities around Palm Beach County, with our church, the River Church, in West Palm Beach, FL.
Kimberly and I felt like we were supposed to go that day to the train station. The train station is in a rough part of town, which people call, the “hood.” Not many people want to go there unless they have to take the train because of the danger.
We prayed and went there with homeless food packs, because many homeless people hang out there. Being a rough area, there is an element of danger. We believe in the great commission, so we go anywhere the Holy Spirit tells us. He will always protect us!
The great commission in Matthew 28:19-20 says, to “Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
When we go to the streets for example, like the train station, there is a biblical promise that when we go, Jesus said, “Lo, I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” This is a great promise. He also promises us in Mark 16:20, “and they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.” Amen.
We have seen many signs and wonders as we go every week. We feed the homeless and give them hope in a new life in Jesus Christ. We have seen people healed and delivered at the train station. When we go preaching the Word, God will be with us and confirm His Word with signs and wonders following.
One morning I shared the gospel with a young lady at the train station. She gave her heart to Jesus and then asked us to pray for her healing. We said ok, and laid hands on her and prayed. Then I took some anointing oil and put some on the palm of her hand. The power of God came upon her, and she fell down in the Spirit.
I went to catch her with Kimberly, and the bottle of oil poured out on her. She laterRecommended reading:
"We get to come to the Lord with our choliy — our grief, our sickness, our pain — and make an exchange. Because of all that Christ did on the cross, we now have access to the same health and wholeness that is found in Him.

~ We may often lose sight of being grateful, as it’s easy to get caught up in the moment when things are not rolling the way we’d hoped. Even when we may be justified in our frustration, it doesn’t change the fact that it helps us to be thankful in every situation.
