"Quicken thou me according to thy word." Psalm 119:25 KJV
The Bible was meant to be prayed through, meditated on, and lived out. The key is the quickening of the Holy Spirit. "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he...shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit" (Ro 8:11 KJV). In this instance, "quickening" refers to our bodily resurrection from the dead. But the Holy Spirit quickens us in more ways than one. Sometimes it's a God-given idea that fires across our synapses. Sometimes it's a prompting to step up, step in, or step out in faith. Sometimes it's a word of wisdom on a difficult situation. When the Holy Spirit quickens you in a way, don't hesitate. Act in the idea, seize the opportunity, and speak the Word. This word quicken has several meanings. Lets' look at three of them: (1) To quicken means to catalyze. Think chemistry. Hebrews 4:12 says that the Word is living and active. The same Spirit that inspired the writers in Scripture also inspires you as you read. And when the Living Word is catalyzed by faith, a supernatural reaction takes place that forgives sin, relieves fear, heals sickness, inspires ideas, and births dreams. (2) To quicken means to transfer possession. Think of real estate. You just can't put a contract on a home; you have to go to settlement. By faith, we take ownership of the Word, and the Word takes ownership of us. When the Word is quickened, it seals the deal. (3) To quicken also means to conceive. When the Word is conceived, it impregnates you with possibilities, changes your desires, eradicates your fears, and forms the mind of Christ in you.
