He Speaks Through Adding Life To Ordinary Words
By Walter Zemaitis

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63 KJ)

All the Lord’s Words, no matter what form we hear them,
must be quickened by His Holy Spirit. The Bible says, only what is
quickened by His Spirit will give life. Quickened is an obscure Biblical
word, but without its power, our relationship with Him is limited to a
dead language.

The literal Greek meaning of the word quicken is to “make
alive, or give vitality.” We can go through life reading words and looking
at signs, but words are just words until they are quickened and we
finally realize they apply to us.

Quickening happens when you hear a story, etc. and all of a
sudden it connects with your personal life. His quickening power
says, “Listen to this, I’m talking to you!”

His quickened Words are like a puzzle piece that perfectly fits
the shape of your life — You could have a need, or be in a set of
circumstances, or whatever, and when the Lord quickens something it
becomes applicable, it has a niche — a place to fit. Quickened Words
from the Lord are always relevant.

Sometimes a puzzle piece will appear to have the right shape and size
but when you apply it, it is not a perfect fit. Quickening is not what
appears to fit. Quickening is a realization that it does fit. When it fits,
your heart knows it.

There are other times when God’s Words can be like a dormant
seed. What He has said may remain buried, hidden in the ground, for
many years.

When the time is right, He takes that Word and quickens it
with life.

When you get a quicking word you need to hold on to that word
that is God speaking to you. He has a purpose and a plan and when
He quickens a word it's all about destiny .

He is the Spirit of truth that can not lie. He said the words that I
speak are spirit and they are life. Heaven and earth shall pass away
but my words shall never pass away.

He still speaks
 
amen!

Only what is quickened by His Spirit will give life! Without His Spirit our witness is lifeless also, a futile attempt to make the words and works of the flesh profitable.
