Apply The Word of God. The Word of God is a person. Some say that it is simply history. Others say it’s to gain knowledge. Some see it as a rule book. How can a person have a relationship with God if they do not have a relationship with the Word of God? We need the Word so we can grow. We need the Word so we will not be deceived. It’s not revelation we need. It’s application we need. The target of the Word of God is the heart. As powerful as it is, the Word of God cannot compete with hard hearts, hearts with stones, unprepared hearts, or untended hearts.

James 1:22-25
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Matthew 13:18-23
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower.
19 “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil {one} comes and
snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.
20 “The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and
immediately receives it with joy;
21 yet he has no {firm} root in himself, but is {only} temporary, and when affliction or persecution
arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.
22 “And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the
worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
23 “And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and
understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some
thirty.”

Proverbs 4:20-27
20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them And health to all their body.
23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it {flow} the springs of life.
24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth And put devious speech far from you.
25 Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
26 Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established.
27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil.
Hebrews 3:7-8
7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
8 DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF
TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,
