Book Reviews of The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word
Book Review: How the Bible Can Speak to your Heart's Concerns
Summary: 5 Stars
Preachers and Bible scholars state that all of mankinds' problems have an answer within the pages of the Bible. Unfortunately, it is a book composed of 66 individual books, and rarely does one know right where to look for advice on a certain problem or topic.
Joyce Meyer's book, "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" addresses the specifics of where to find answers to topical concerns. Got a problem with worry, or lack of faith? Meyers lists appropriate Bible verses and promises that speak to these concerns. Meyers lists many different problems involving life, faith, doubt, fear, and then gives the Bible verse that speaks to these issues.
Meyers emphasizes the power of the spoken word, believing that when one speaks the appropriate verses out loud, they help to create the conditions and attitudes you speak. Essentially, she believes they have more power spoken out loud. I don't necessarily buy into the spoken word concept; rather, I have used these topical studies of verses to immerse my mind in God's word so as to meditate and allow the concepts sink in.
The key to using a book like this is actually believing that the verses listed have the power to change one's attitude and situation. Since the verses come from God's inspired word, one must have a solid faith in God for these verses to have any lasting effect on one's mind. You can say a verse out loud a dozen times, but the words are empty if the speaker does not have faith in the words. Conversely, if one is worried or afraid, and Christ states in his word: "Don't be afraid, it is I, I am with you always", the person who believes in the risen Lord can use this verse to meditate on when he is anxious or afraid, and draw confidence from it. One's faith in the verse is only as strong as one's faith in the person who said the verse. In order for the mind to be changed, the idea or concept needs to have validity behind it to be accepted and acted upon. This book benefitted me, for I believe in the words and promises of Christ, so the words have power to change false beliefs and attitudes in my mind.
Even so, speaking or memorizing these verses is a discipline, and not a one time through and you're done concept. The topical verses cited here are to be meditated on daily until they become part of one's thought process. Constant repetition, plus faith in the words and person of Christ is the formula for success in adapting the very mind of Christ.
Certainly recommended for the person of faith who needs help or reassurance in several areas. On the contrary, this book perhaps holds no benefit for those who doubt the living existance of Christ, or doubt the words themselves.
Recommended for those who believe in the risen Lord and believe in his love and power.
