The Word of God is spiritually alive. It is filled with the supernatural power of God (see Hebrews 4:12), but you can make God's Word powerless and ineffective. How can you do this?

You can make the Word of God ineffective by being traditional in your thinking and doing what seems right to you instead of consistently studying and meditating on the Word of God to learn and obey your Father's specific instructions.

"...Jesus entered a certain village, and a woman named Martha received and welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and was listening to His teaching. But Martha [overly occupied and too busy] was distracted with much serving; and she came up to Him and said, Lord, is it nothing to You that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me [to lend a hand and do her part along with me]!" (Luke 10:38-40 AMP)

Martha was so busy doing what she thought she should do because Jesus was a visitor to their home that she neglected what was really important. She urged Jesus to tell Mary to help her.

The request that Martha made would seem reasonable to many people. Jesus had a different perspective. "...the Lord replied to her by saying, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; there is need of only one or but a few things. Mary has chosen the good portion [that which is to her advantage], which shall not be taken away from her." (Luke 10:41-42 AMP)

Jesus pointed out what Martha (and many Christians today) should be doing. Instead of being overly busy attempting to serve God, you should consistently sit at His feet to
depriving it of force and authority and making it of no consequence ]. " (Matthew 15:6 AMP)

Tell her then to help me [ to lend a hand and serve her part along with me ]! " (Luke 10:38 - 40 AMP) 

 Martha was thus busy doing what she thought she should do because Jesus was a visitor to their home that she neglect what was really important. She urged Jesus to assure Mary to help her. 

 The request that Martha made would seem reasonable to many multitude. Jesus had a unlike perspective.
