So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls. James 1:21 (AMPC)
In today’s scientific advancements we have silicon implants which placed inside the human body most of the time just under the skin have the ability to change the form of the body. People get their lips, breasts, butts, and hips changed in shape and size by just planting those silicon chips under the skin.
The Word of God works much like that only that it’s planted not in the body but in the heart or spirit of man. The silicon chip has to become one with the body to effect change in it. So to speak it has to be rooted in the body. Likewise the Word of God has to become one with your heart and mind in order to change your life. It has to be rooted in your (spiritual) heart. This is the implanted Word that saves our soul. The Word that remains on the pages of the Bible, the Word someone else speaks, the Word you heard once, the Word that’s casually in your mind isn’t what is referred to here and it won’t work. The implanted Word is the one you’ve kept on hearing and speaking to the point that you’re one with it, you’re fully persuaded of it, to the point that you act on it, rely on it, say it, rest in it, in the time of need and it works for you. This is the Word that heals, delivers, brings provision, guides and leads to victory.
