"O my friend,... the penetration of the Word of God in... all the regions is similar to the pervasion of the soul in a sound body." "The Word of God hath set the heart of the world afire; how regrettable if ye fail to be enkindled with its flame." (Bwf 393; Bwf 118) (24:6)

"'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God'; then the Holy Spirit and the Word are the appearance of God. The Spirit and the Word mean the divine perfections that appeared in the Reality of Christ." The Manifestation of God "incarnateth in Himself the kingdom of utterance." (24:7)

(pam 188) Through "Thy most exalted Word... the heavens of men's idle fancies and vain imaginings have been split asunder." (Bwf 16) "The... task of converting satanic strength into heavenly power is one that We have been empowered to accomplish... The Word of God, alone, can claim the distinction of being endowed with the capacity required for so great and far- reaching a change." (Bwf 113) (24:9)

"May "we avoid the land of denial, and advance into the ocean of acceptance, so that we may... wing our flight unto the highest and innermost sanctuary of the inner meaning of the Word of God."

"Open your ears that ye may hearken unto the word of God." "Thine ear is a sign of My bounty, let not the tumult of unseemly motives turn it away from My Word that encompasseth all creation." (Hwp 41; Gl 322) (24:11)

"Know ye from what heights your Lord, the All- Glorious is calling?... Nay, by My life! Did ye but know it,... your spirits would be so transported by His Word as to throw into commotion the Greater World-- how much more this small and petty one! Thus have the showers of My bounty been poured down from the heaven of My loving- kindness, as a token of My grace." (Gl 139- 40) (24:12)
