The Lord isn’t afraid to be put on the spot, so you can dare to take Him at His Word. He’s given you His Word to live by. The Word has the capacity and ability to guide you through any situation in life victoriously. Isaiah 43:2 CEV says, “When you cross deep rivers, I will be with you, and you won’t drown. When you walk through fire, you won’t be burned or scorched by the flames.” However, you have a responsibility to prove the Word and to have the results of the Word in your life.
You have to know for yourself that the Gospel of Christ that you’ve believed is real. Too many Christians go through life struggling and suffering when they ought to be living in the transcendental blessings that have been made available to us in Christ Jesus. They’re either ignorant or just won’t put the Word to work. It’s either we’re Christians in truth, or we’re not. It’s either what we believe works, or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, what are we doing with it? If it works (and thank God it does), then let’s keep “working” it.
Understand that your blessings aren’t in God’s hands, but in yours, because Jesus already did everything needed for you to be superabundantly blessed. For example, the whole world has been saved by Jesus because He died for everybody, but it’s only those who hear about it, believe it, accept and confess His Lordship, that receive salvation. If you hear the Word and don’t act on it, it’ll not work, no matter how much that Word inspires you. You must take the next necessary step of acting accordingly for it to produce results in your life. Prove the Word of God in your own life. That way, you can neither be deceived nor miss your way in life.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the power of your Word and its ability to take me through life victoriously. I’m a doer of the Word of God! As I look into the Word, I’m transfigured into the realities that I see; pictures and visions of glory, success and excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
