Power of the Word by Reverend Al Furey

Main message: The word of God is living, powerful, and effective; believers have authority to speak it over their lives and must persistently declare Scripture for healing, provision, transformation, and salvation.

Key points:

• Receiving Christ gives you sonship and the authority to use God's word in your life.
• Jesus consistently used Scripture (e.g., during the temptation) — we must learn to speak the word in every situation.
• Testimonies: people experienced physical healing and provision by writing, speaking, and repeatedly declaring Scripture.
• Seven described powers of God’s word: to reveal, refute, reproduce, redirect, revive, reward, and ready us.
• Practical application: write promises on your heart/around your life, keep Scripture fixed on your lips, and persevere in speaking the word rather than quitting after one attempt.
• The sermon concluded with the gospel invitation to receive Jesus, repent, and be saved.
