*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary God’s people are called to embody and speak His living Word. Because His Word carries creative power and accomplishes His purposes, words spoken in alignment with Him can minister life, freedom, peace, and revelation to others. As believers spend time in God’s presence, His rest and peace become part of them and flow naturally to those with receptive hearts. The ecclesia—God’s called-out people—is being matured and equipped to express Christ as a many-membered body. Their calling is to listen, believe, proclaim what God has spoken, and trust Him to fulfill it.
