CMN is hosting Iron Sharpens Iron Mens Equipping Conference in Phoenix, November 2, 2013 Iron Sharpens Iron is a Conference Network made up of individual ministries that are working interdependently to most effectively offer local church resources for men. We are doing this by mobilizing ministries to resource local churches with a first class one-day equipping conference that is designed for men (age 13 and older).
In Arizona, our vision for the Phoenix Conference is to equip men to reflect Jesus as they live, love and lead intentionally in every aspect of life through service to others.
WordPower is taking the Word of God and giving it to the Holy Spirit to be used as a double edge sword that cuts deep into our lower nature to displace anything that is displeasing to our Lord and replace it with the mighty power of His Word. We state the Word in the first person present tense to make it more applicable to our daily lives.
WordPower Example:
I am confident that He will listen to me whenever I ask Him for anything in line with His will. Because I know He is listening when I make my request, I am sure that He gives me what I ask for. (I John 5:14-15)
WordPower is based on Scripture and is created by Christian Mentors Network, Inc. Receive it daily in your email inbox!
See the power of God’s Word come alive for you as you print the email page, cut the personalized verse out, and carry the WordPower statement with you all day. Read it several times a day making it your own. We write the Word into a present tense first person statement for daily application.
For the Word of God: “SPEAKS,… and is ALIVE,… making it POWERFUL,… ACTIVE,… OPERATIVE,…ENERGIZING,… EFFECTIVE. It is SHARPER than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING,… DIVIDING line of the breath of life (soul) and (the immortal) spirit, and the joints and marrow (of the deepest parts of our nature),… EXPOSING,… SIFTING,… ANALYZING,… JUDGING (discerning) the very thoughts and purposes (intents) of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 – Amplified Bible)
