Faith In The Word
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).
Faith is a very powerful spiritual force in the
Kingdom of God; it’s the principle by which we
live, and our faith is based on the Word. The Apostle
Paul, knowing the power of our faith, declared, “I can
do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”
(Philippians 4:13). He had come to know from the
Scriptures that he could never fail; he could never be
defeated; he was a victor forever; nothing was going
to make him think or believe otherwise.
The Word of God must culture your mind and
shape your opinion to have the kind of mindset that
Paul had. You must be absolutely convinced that only
what the Word says is real.
Now, the Word of God is the greater light; it’s
the true light that reveals the reality about everything
in the world. That’s the true light that shows you’re a
victor and a success in this world. That’s the true light
that shows you can’t fail; you can’t be poor, and you
can never be destroyed, because you’re born of God.
Your faith is the only powerful instrument that can see
and take a hold of the transcendent realities revealed
to us through the light of God’s Word.
Under the light of medicine, for example, your
kidneys could be said to have problems, but under
the light of God’s Word, they’re in perfect condition.
To convert the perfect kidneys that you see in the
Word, through the eyes of faith, from the spiritual
into the physical, you use the principle of affirmation.
You declare that you have new kidneys; you vocalize
your faith.
God uses the spoken word to convert spiritual
energy into matter. That’s why He told us to confess
the Word, because when you speak, you release
energy that converts into matter. Hebrews 13:5-6 says,
“…for he hath said…So that we may boldly say….”
It’s your confession or affirmation that activates the
power of God’s Word in your life and causes your
faith to prevail.
Prayer
Thank you dear Father, for my triumphant life in Christ. I’m a
success. I walk in victory, divine wisdom, and the dominion of the
Spirit, because I see and live by the true light of your Word, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
