IT IS WRITTEN



IT IS WRITTEN 


[3]Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;


1. WHO WROTE THEM

A. God wrote them through his servants 


2. WHAT IS WRITTEN 

A. Things concerning Jesus 


[37]For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

[44]And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

B. Things concerning us


3. WHY WERE THEY WRITTEN 

A. To know the things freely given unto us

[12]Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.


B. For all round healing of the people 

[20]He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

C. To lighten up His people 

[8]The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

D. To deliver his people 

Psalms 107:20
[20]He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

E. Written for our patience, comfort and hope 


[4]For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.



[10]Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.


Great 🙏. Let’s go deeper and write a detailed book draft on:

📖 IT IS WRITTEN

Front Matter

Title: IT IS WRITTEN
Subtitle: Living by the Power and Authority of God’s Word
Author: [Your Name]

Dedication

To every believer who desires to walk in victory, this book is dedicated to you. May your heart always be established by the eternal Word of God.

Epigraph

“Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven.” — Psalm 119:89

Introduction: The Power of “It Is Written”

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He overcame the devil not with human reasoning, nor with angelic intervention, but with three words: “It is written” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10). This declaration reveals that the Word of God is the final authority, the believer’s weapon, and the eternal truth.

The phrase “It is written” means:

  • God has spoken.
  • His Word is binding.
  • His promises cannot fail.

This book explores the scriptural foundation, implications, applications, and illustrations of living by the written Word of God.

Chapter One: The Authority of the Written Word

Scripture: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” — 2 Timothy 3:16

Implications:

  • The Word is supreme over culture, tradition, and human philosophy.
  • To disbelieve or ignore Scripture is to reject God’s authority.

Applications:

  • Begin every decision with: What is written?
  • Measure every prophecy, teaching, or dream by the written Word.

Illustration:
Just as a constitution governs a nation, the written Word governs the Kingdom of God.

Chapter Two: “It Is Written” as a Weapon of Warfare

Scripture: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4

Implications:

  • Without Scripture, the believer is defenseless in spiritual battles.
  • Victory comes by confessing the written Word in faith.

Applications:

  • In times of fear, declare: “It is written: God has not given me the spirit of fear.” (2 Timothy 1:7).
  • In sickness, declare: “It is written: By His stripes I am healed.” (Isaiah 53:5).

Illustration:
A soldier without a weapon is easily defeated. Likewise, a Christian who neglects the Word is vulnerable to the enemy.

Chapter Three: The Eternal Nature of the Word

Scripture: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” — Matthew 24:35

  • God’s Word is eternal, unchanging, and indestructible.
  • Kings and empires have fallen, but Scripture remains.

Implications:

  • Building life on anything else is sinking sand.
  • God’s promises never expire.

Applications:

  • Hold on to the Word even when circumstances contradict it.
  • Teach your children the eternal truths of Scripture.

Illustration:
Generations rise and fall, yet Psalm 23 comforts hearts thousands of years later—proof that the Word endures.

Chapter Four: Living by the Word

Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4

  • Bread sustains the body; the Word sustains the spirit.
  • Israel survived the wilderness by God’s Word and manna.

Implications:

  • Spiritual malnutrition comes from neglecting the Bible.
  • A Word-filled life is a victorious life.

Applications:

  • Read, study, meditate, and practice the Word daily.
  • Start each morning with a Scripture declaration.

Illustration:
Just as a car runs on fuel, a believer runs on the Word. Without it, we stop moving.

Chapter Five: The Word and Your Identity

Scripture: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

  • The Bible is the mirror of the believer (James 1:23–25).
  • Gideon thought he was weak, but God called him a “mighty man of valor.” (Judges 6:12).

Implications:

  • Our identity is not in feelings, background, or failure but in the Word.

Applications:

  • Daily affirm what God says about you: righteous, healed, blessed, victorious.

Illustration:
Like a mirror reflects appearance, Scripture reflects your true identity in Christ.

Chapter Six: Speaking the Written Word

Scripture: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” — Proverbs 18:21

  • The Word must be spoken to release its power.
  • Ezekiel prophesied to dry bones, and they lived (Ezekiel 37:4–10).

Implications:

  • Silent believers are defeated believers.
  • The Word in your mouth becomes a weapon in your situation.

Applications:

  • Speak Scripture over your health, business, marriage, and nation.

Illustration:
A seed grows only when planted. The Word grows when spoken.

Chapter Seven: Guarding Against Misuse of the Word

Scripture: “Rightly dividing the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15

  • Satan misquoted Scripture to tempt Jesus (Matthew 4:6).
  • Some twist the Word for gain (2 Peter 3:16).

Implications:

  • Out-of-context use of Scripture brings error and deception.
  • Believers must discern truth from distortion.

Applications:

  • Always study passages in context.
  • Compare Scripture with Scripture.

Illustration:
A prescription wrongly applied can harm instead of heal. The same is true with Scripture.

Chapter Eight: Victory Through the Word

Scripture: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” — Revelation 12:11

  • Victory is tied to the written Word believed and declared.
  • David defeated Goliath by standing on God’s covenant promises.

Implications:

  • The Word guarantees triumph in every battle.

Applications:

  • Anchor every prayer and action on what is written.
  • Use the Word to cancel fear, doubt, and satanic lies.

Illustration:
When storms came, only the house built on the rock stood firm (Matthew 7:24–25). The rock is the Word.

Conclusion: It Is Written—It Is Finished

Jesus’ last words on the cross were “It is finished” (John 19:30). The victory of redemption was sealed, and the believer’s confidence rests in the written Word of God.

To live by “It is written” is to live by faith, power, and victory—until we see the Word Himself, Jesus Christ, face to face.

Study & Meditation Guide

  • Memorize Matthew 4:4, Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 55:11.
  • Daily Declaration: “It is written: I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me.”
  • Reflection Questions:
    1. What area of my life needs the authority of the written Word?

    3. How can I apply “It is written” in my daily battles?
