Activating the Word of God in your life
God’s WORD was first SPOKEN then it was written.
And after It was written, it is SPOKEN. The Word of God is active but it needs to be activated. It’ll be in a dormant state until it is made active.
Gen 1:1,2 Then God Said Here we see that God did not SPEAK or SAY what He saw.
He SPOKE what He wanted to see. He first SAID, “Let there be light.”
GOD SAID FIRST AND THEN GOD SAW NEXT.
If you want to change what you see, You must change your sound.If your sound is of defeat or if you sing songs of defeat/ unbelief, you will see only defeat.
One very important principle for your life is this : You must SAY first for you to SEE later.
Jesus said, SPEAK to the mountain and the mountain will move into the depths of the sea. So, first comes the SPEAKING with faith !!
Going back to Genesis chapter 1 What God saw was good because what He spoke was good.
He sowed Words that were good so He reaped what was good. Vs 26Then God SAID. Genesis shows us that God is a SPEAKING God/Spirit.
By the power of His words He made the seen and the unseen.
That is galaxies, mountains, rivers, man, living beings and non living things. We are the only creation who have the privilege to be the Children of the God kind. It is in our DNA to operate as our Heavenly Father
Man gets fascinated by angels but actually angels are fascinated by us because we are made in the image and likeness of God.
Heb 4:12 says the Word of God is a Two edged sword which is Stoma in Hebrew. Stoma also means a “mouth” in Hebrew. Your mouth is the edge of a weapon .
Many have spoiled relations with their words. Yet others have signed their own death certificate with their mouths.
Prov 18:21. Death and life are in the power of your tongue.
Why was Jesus, who lived as a man never defeated ?
The devil couldn’t do anything to Him. Why? He never stumbled in word.
He said, “I only speak what I hear my Father say.” Our confession must only be an echo of God’s Word.
Just like how the mountains echo our voice. Whatever you CONFESS and SPEAK of God’s Word that is what you will see happening eventually.
Ps 62:11 David understood this, that is why he said, God has SPOKEN once and twice I have heard, that power belongs to God.
How did he hear twice when God SPOKE only once ??
David heard once when God SPOKE, He heard twice when he himself SPOKE what God had SPOKEN. We must echo the Word of God.
God is not impressed by false humility. He is pleased by Faith. God is happy when we call ourselves what He calls us and SAY what the Word SAYS about us !! God’s Spirit was hovering over the darkness and nothing happened until God SPOKE what He wanted to see. The Spirit hovers over God’s word to be activated.
Just as a seed has life in it, the Word has life in it too.
If the seed is kept on the table or under the pillow or in the pocket… Will they bear fruit? NO.
Because though the seed has life, it has to be sown otherwise it won’t bear fruit. Seed has to go inside the soil for it to bring a harvest. In the same way even God’s Word has to be sown in our heart’s soil for it to bring a harvest. Then only the fruit will come out of our mouth and be seen in our lives.
Heb 4:14 Confession means SPEAKING the same thing.
Don’t beg in prayer. You have to decree as kings and priests. You should know who you are.
Begging shows you have no revelation of your relationship with God.
Even as earthly parents we don’t want our children to beg. We want them to come boldly and ask. Similarly, We boldly enter in God’s presence.
God is pleased with faith not tears. Esau cried, Judah cried but they were not heard.
Only Faith moves God. Your prayers should be filled with the Word and filled with Faith. The Holy Spirit only confirms God’s Word and not our word.
God says put me into remembrance. How ?
We need to say, God I have come to remind you of your Word. He hears His Word. Jesus the High Priest still offers. What is He offering?
Hebrew 3:1 He is the high priest of our CONFESSION. He takes our CONFESSIONS to the Father. In the Old Testament, the sacrifice had to be without blemish
If our sacrifice /CONFESSION is blemishless and pure Jesus takes it to the Father. So, offer the pure Word of CONFESSION.
With Faith and patience they inherited the promised land. A double minded man will receive nothing.
Do not have dual CONFESSIONS.
Many a times your Faith CONFESSIONS are nullified with another CONFESSION of unbelief. Hold on to your CONFESSIONS. Keep CONFESSING, believing and keep SAYING it.
Daniel’s prayers were heard on the first day itself but he saw it on the 21st day.
Your answered prayers glorify God.
Make definite prayers. Jesus always asked, what do u want ? Ask according to God’s Word and according to God’s Will.
Let God’s Word be activated in your life by Faith.You will see the manifestation and demonstration of the Word. Sow the Word. And Reap a harvest.Glory be to God. Word always WORKS
PRAYER
Heavenly Father Thank you for Your Word. It is the answer to everything. We bank our lives on Your Word. Help us to understand your Word and may it be activated in our lives as we Declare It, Decree It and Confess It by Faith in our situations and we Believe that we HAVE IT as we Say It. We see with the eyes of Faith the answers to all our prayers. And we rejoice. May Your Name alone be glorified in and through our lives and situations as we speak your Word.
We Thank you in advance. In Jesus' Name we ask. Amen.
