I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 27th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 55:11, and the Lord says; ” So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Then we go to the New Testament, John 7:26: ” But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? “ Now, remember what happened. Jesus told the disciples to go up to Jerusalem to the Feast of Tabernacles. He said, ”I will come later,” because they were seeking to kill Jesus. So eventually He came to Jerusalem on His own, and then He started to teach in the temple. His words were so bold that everyone listened without a word. The power of the spoken word of God. They recognised Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, by the words which proceeded from His mouth. I want to say to you today, my dear friend, and this applies to me, we are not using the word of God enough. That is where the power is! William Shakespeare was a great writer, but there’s no power when you quote Shakespeare. When you quote Sigmund Freud, there’s no power. When you even quote Albert Einstein, supposed to be the most brilliant mind, there’s no power, but when you quote the Word of God, there is power which accompanies the spoken Word of God. I have had the privilege of speaking at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem a number of times, and I want to tell you when you say, ”thus says the Lord,” the power comes down folks, especially if you believe it. If you look at some of those old crusade tapes of Dr Billy Graham and he says, ”and the word of God says….” As soon as he quotes Scripture, you can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in that stadium amongst those thousands and thousands of people. I’ve experienced it in my own life, standing up there, feeling totally inadequate, but as soon as I start quoting the word of God, a supernatural power comes down and energises me, and I can see a change in that vast crowd. I want to speak to mothers today. You’ve got a sick child. Oh mom, go and lay your hands on your child and speak the Word of God over that child, speak healing over that little child. I want to say to dad, he doesn’t know what to do at work anymore, there are big problems there. Speak the Word of God. I really mean that, quote Scripture. You will be surprised by how the men will come into line. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.
