GLORIOUS WORD DEVOTIONAL Day 248 THE LIVING GOD 生きている神

(Joshua 3:10) And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites ヨシュアは言った、「これによって、生ける神があなたがたの間におられることを知るであろう。また、神は必ずあなたがたの前から、カナン人、ヒッタイト人、ヒビ人、ペリジ人、ギルガシ人、アモリ人、エブス人を追い出されるであろう」。

On many occasions in the Bible, our God is addressed as “the Living God”. 

聖書の中では、私たちの神は「生ける神」と呼ばれています。

A thorough study through the scriptures shows that whenever He is addressed this way, something miraculous happens. 

聖書を徹底的に調べてみると、神がこのように呼ばれるときには、必ず奇跡的なことが起こることがわかります。

Also, when you address Him this way, He shows forth His power and drives evil spirits and people whose presence makes it difficult for you to possess your possessions. 

また、このように呼びかけると、神はご自身の力を示し、悪霊や、あなたの所有物を手に入れるのを困難にする存在を追い払ってくださいます。

The word translated “living” in our theme scripture means the fiery God, strong, wild, the giver of life, and the One who brings freshness and newness into things. 

このテーマの聖句で「生きている」と訳されている言葉は、燃える神、強い、荒々しい、いのちを与える者、物事に新鮮さや新しさをもたらす者という意味です。

Also, this word has been used to mean the *God who subdue kingdoms and the God who announces His presence in difficult situations (Daniel 6:20; Daniel 6:26, 1 Samuel 17:26).

また、この言葉は、*王国を従わせる神、困難な状況でご自分の存在を告げる神*という意味でも使われています（ダニエル6:20、ダニエル6:26、第1サムエル17:26）。

Find time today and call Him *THE LIVING GOD*. As you do so in worship and prayer, He will prove to you that indeed He is THE LIVING GOD. Halleluyah!

今日、時間を見つけて、彼を「生きている神」と呼びましょう。あなたが礼拝と祈りの中でそうするとき、主は本当にご自身が「生きている神」であることをあなたに証明してくださいます。 Halleluyah!

*Meditation*: ((Joshua 3:10) And Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:
*Activity*: Spend time in prayer and fellowship with the Spirit of God. Call Him THE LIVING GOD. As you do He will drive away all evil spirits and people who are resisting you in this life.
*Confession*: I serve THE LIVING GOD. His name is Jesus Christ. He is the strongest. He is the mightiest. He is the fieriest. He subdues kingdoms for my sake. He brings freshness and newness into my life every day. My God is THE LIVING GOD. Halleluyah!

*If you have never been born again then make the confession below*.

*I declare from today that Jesus Christ is my Lord and I believe that God raised Him from the dead*

*Congratulations*

*You can begin to attract God’s goodness into your life from today*
