A person who receives and preaches the Word in this way is called a prophet. A servant of God is a prophetic person.
What does it mean to eat the Word? It means receiving all the words with your heart and hearing them with your ears. If you do not receive the Word with your heart, you cannot hear it with your ears. In other words, it is to receive the words of Revelation with your heart then hear with your ears to testify to people.
The Book of Revelation is the book that John testified. Aren't the words we received and the grace of God we experienced evidence? It is God's evidence. With this evidence, we testify the Word to people.
Those who have truly eaten the Word have different minds and different hearings. Even if it is sweet in your mouth and you exclaim Hallelujah and sing praises with joy, when you say the Word you had eaten and try to live out the Word, it will make your stomach bitter
The reason why the Word is bitter in the stomach is that the Word of judgment is given to us in these last days, and the Word we must deliver is also the Word of judgment.
If we speak the Word of judgment in the last days, our daily life can be bitter, so let's be courageous and ready to live as God's servants.
