The Spirit of God always does special things in people’s lives once they are exposed to God’s Word. Whatever the Spirit of God does in your life will abide when you understand God’s Word. Without the teaching of the Word, the miracles the Spirit of God performs in the lives of men and women won’t last.
Often, we see people receive a miracle or have some spectacular manifestation of God’s Spirit in their lives but lose it after some time. The Spirit of God acts on the Word you have in you in order to cause a permanent transformation in your life. Otherwise, what you’ll have would be a temporary transformation. The Word of God is so important in the life of every Christian, because the Word of God is the foundation for everything God seeks to do in our lives.
Anyone can have faith in God for anything. There were people who didn’t know Jesus but they acted in strong faith and tremendous things happened. But that kind of faith doesn’t last. It caused some wonderful things to happen for them but that was just about how far it went. God is more concerned that whatever He does for you lasts for eternity.
There are people who read books on faith that aren’t written by Christians, but such authors have limited understanding of what faith really is. They say, “You can do anything if you believe in yourself. If you believe you can have it, you can have it.” You see, there are different kinds of faith, but the most important of all is the one that comes by the Word of God. I’m talking about faith in the Name of Jesus Christ. It’s not just a matter of having faith, but having faith in the Word of God.
It’s so important that you get to study the Word of God for yourself. As you diligently do so and follow it, God will give you understanding. That’s how to build your faith strong in the Word so that you can live in permanent prosperity, health and victory every day of your life.
