The verse above doesn’t say that the Word gives light, but that ‘the entrance of the Word gives light.’ It’s your

 

responsibility to allow God’s Word entrance into your heart—your spirit. The Word of God has the ability to nourish and build you up spiritually, physically and mentally: "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified" (Acts 20:32).

 

In addition, when the Word gains the mastery over your

 

life, it washes, purifies, and cleanses your spirit, ridding

 

it of fear, doubt, and guilt. The Word in you will give you

 

the right mind-set—the mind-set of the righteous.

 

Romans 12:2 tells us how to experience supernatural transformation by the Word: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and

 

acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

 

As you assimilate God’s Word into you, the Word mingles

 

with your Spirit, making you what it talks about. Some

 

Christians tend to appraise their spiritual growth in

 

terms of how long they’ve been born again. Well, you

 

may have been a Christian for twenty years, that’s not

 

what transforms your life! The Word of God in your

 

spirit is what transforms your life and takes you from

 

one level of glory to a higher level. Settle your heart on

 

the Word today, and watch yourself transformed from

 

glory to glory.
