AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD IS AWESOME, INDEED.
It does NOT return void.
The POWER OF THE WORD, HOLY SPIRIT, GOD’S LOVE ARE ALL SUPREME.
I’d be at a stuck loss as to how to rank them.
It does NOT return void.
AMEN! God's word accomplishes all that God pleases and it prospers all those to whom He sends it.
The POWER OF THE WORD, HOLY SPIRIT, GOD’S LOVE ARE ALL SUPREME.

No need to rank them. God's love is sovereign and is the reason for our every breath. His love is perfect judgment and His love is perfect mercy.
The Holy Spirit is God working in us in real time and space, here on this earth, now, sanctifying our lives and bringing us closer to Him.
And the word of God, which is the "sword of the Spirit," is the means which the Holy Spirit uses to reach us, teach us and redirect us from darkness to light. The holy Scriptures, God speaking directly to His children, is received with a heart made sorrowful in the knowledge of its sins and a mind renewed to know the truth of Christ risen.
All in all, an amazing plan.
The other day my husband saw the most extraordinary rose, huge and blossoming with deep reds and bright yellows, and he said, "See, this is proof God loves us. He didn't have to make it so beautiful."
So we "rejoice evermore and pray without ceasing, in every thing we give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us."
“There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.” -- John Calvin
