For myself, I believe that everything Jesus, the Word spoke, (the red scriptures) are directives. Not suggestions.
He was preaching, teaching and demonstrating the Kingdom. We should use the Light that is given to us. His words are meant to change us, from the inside to the outside.
We cannot mix what Jesus says, with what others say that is contrary to Jesus's spoken Word.
You'll want to google what it means to get a Rhema word from the Lord. He's still speaking into the life of the Church; by the Power of the Holy Spirit only. That's why it is important to ask the Holy Spirit for the Gift of discerning the Spirits. 1 Corinthians 12-14. Is it Jesus or a human spirit.
It's important to walk closely with the Holy Spirit now. He is God the Holy Spirit and He is your Helper, Teacher, Comforter, Convicts is of sin, righteousness and the world to come. Lean on Him heavily; He can take it.
I agree with you 100 percent. The living word is God. I don't believe the bible in itself is the word of God, but the word is in the bible (book). Everyone now calls the bible the word of God especially in the religious institutions.
Lisa, there is one scripture in the Bible that shows us one of Jesus's Names, capitalized as:
Revelation Chapter 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Jesus Christ is: THE WORD OF GOD
One scripture in the back of the Bible, but it is undeniably True.
Anyone reading the Book of Revelation is given a blessing by the Lord. Every time we read it. Revelation chapter 1
Shannon, I'm unsure what you mean by the specific 'verses' for Christ's followers, as all of Scripture is given for our knowledge, instruction & necessary obedience. But if you're thinking of Jesus' special utterances, then when you come across portions, such as in Matthew 5:1,2 "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying", then we can understand that Jesus left the public throng ( Matthew 4:25), went to a quieter location with His disciples & gave them some important teaching & lessons they needed to learn as opposed to the discourses to the public or to the Jewish religious leaders.
So your reference to Matthew 7, Jesus actually starts His teaching to His disciples in Matthew 5 & ends it in chapter 7.

The Blessing: Revelation 1:3
Compare verse Revelation 1:14 to
Revelation 19:12 Both are Jesus !
So your reference to Matthew 7, Jesus actually starts His teaching to His disciples in Matthew 5 & ends it in chapter 7.
