Sylvester, a Christian, always thought, “I believe the Word, but why aren’t things working out right for me?” He was hoping that God would set him free some day; he was clueless to the truth that Jesus had already set him free. Even though he’d heard about it sometime ago, he wasn’t in faith. You see, faith is different from believing: Faith declares the Word to be real and true now, and acts accordingly. The contrary circumstances will not change by themselves, or change just because you believe. “Believing” the Word is not enough; your believing must translate to faith.
Romans 10:10 says, “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness….” Believing sets your heart right with God; it makes your heart acceptable to Him; that’s the reason you know in your heart that God loves and accepts you, but that’ll not change the circumstances of your life. For your situation to change or to maintain a life of continuous progress and triumph, it’s got to be by your faith.
Hebrews 11:1 says “…Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is calling real that which you’ve hoped for; you count it done now! It’s like the title-deed to a property. You don’t have to be in the property to know it’s yours; faith is the title deed. Take a hold of God’s Word and affirm your healing and health, prosperity, success, and victory in Christ Jesus! The second part of Romans 10:10 says, “…with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Speak
My faith is the victory that overcomes the world; nothing is impossible to me! I live victoriously today because I live in, and by, the Word; I’ve taken hold of my victorious life in Christ Jesus, rejoicing gloriously in health, peace, prosperity, success, and abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
