Everything we do in the body of Christ when led by the Holy Spirit is very important; none of it is to be taken for granted. However the word of God is crucial in our Christian experience. The prophet Isaiah tells us how important the word of God is, "The grass withers, the flowers fades but the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:7, NKJV). In this teaching I will discuss 9 effects of the word of God. I believe that each one is essential for the believer. The nine effects are faith, the New Birth, Spiritual Nourishment, Spiritual Illumination, Physical Healing, Victory over Sin, Victory over Satan, Our Mirror and finally our Judge.
