Why is God's word powerful? Because God guarantees it.

Dr. Tony Evans says God's promises don't depend on odds. They rest on his omnipotence.

And because God is all powerful, God's word is absolutely effective.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the

archives of Dr. Tony Evans. There's no doubt that words hold power. They can leave a mark on us for better

or worse. But when it comes to God's word, that mark can go even deeper. It has the power to cut through

confusion and reveal what's true in our lives. Today, Dr. Evans explains how Scripture penetrates

our hearts with the ability to bring lasting transformation. Let's join him, as he explains.

Isaiah 55, verse 11. It says, so shall my word be, which goeth forth from my mouth.

It shall not return to me empty without accomplishing what I desire

and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

He makes the statement here about the Word of God that it is powerful.

What do we mean by the Word of God being powerful?

When we say that the Word of God is powerful, what we're saying is that it accomplishes

its designated purpose. In other words, it's not just random power. It's not power out of control.

It is not power without purpose. It is purposeful power. Seven times in the first

chapter of Genesis, God spoke the word. Let there, let there be light. And I like the way it ends.

It says, and it was so.

Let the water be separated from the land.

And it was so.

God's word is so powerful that it can bring about whatever God's will is because God stands behind His Word.

All of us have in our homes, electrical outlets.
