“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”.
Hebrews 4:12
The scripture above lets us know the power, infallibility of God’s Word. The Word produces results when you believe, confess and act upon it as the truth.
An example of this is found in 2 Corinthians 2:14 which says, “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.”
This means that no matter what comes your way, remind yourself that you are triumphant always. Stand your ground in faith, maintaining that you are a victor in Christ Jesus, amen?
Some Christians have the idea that “whatever will be, will be”; they are wrong! God has not left us at the mercy of the devil or life’s circumstances. He did not leave things to chance. Not once did he tell us in the scriptures, “whatever will be, will be.” That’s what the devil would have us think so we won’t have to do anything about our situations.
We should be people who put the Word of God into practice, or as James 1:22-23 tells us, “do” the word. We should live the word out in our lives.
God has given us his word to live by. It’s our responsibility to use the Word, to put it into practice, to work the Word. Philippians 2:12 says, “…work out your salvation with fear and trembling”. This was what Abraham did.
In Genesis 17:5 the Lord said to him, “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee”. At this time Abraham was nearly a hundred years old and didn’t have a child, but he believed and acted on the Word (Romans 4:17-21). He didn’t stagger at the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
The change you desire in your finances, in your health, in your family is dependant upon you, not God. Act on the Word, declare the Word, insist there is only going to be one outcome… what the Word says! Amen?
