I had been told for many years that the Bible is a religious book and a catalogue of different inspiring stories. But when I found out that it’s still working today and that I could pick out a Scripture and expect it to work for me, I was so thrilled.
A lady who had a disease in her ribs for over four years came to me for help. I told her to sit down and I sat down in front of her with my Bible. “I’m going to preach the Word of God to you. You’ll be healed and I wouldn’t have to pray because the Word works.” So I kept reading out beautiful healing Scriptures, explaining some of them to inspire her faith. Before I was through, she shouted that the pain was gone, Hallelujah! I’m inspired and challenged by the working Word!
I’m inspired by the fact that the Word works. When I see what I say come to pass, I’m challenged to say more. It’s so exciting to see wonderful miracles of Almighty God right before you. It’s a challenge; the challenge of the working Word. In Isaiah 45:11 God said, “…concerning the work of my hands command ye me,” and in Job 22:28, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” All these inspire me to do more and also speak the words of power.
When you understand your identity in Christ and you’re convinced of the reality of the working Word, you’ll never carry a long face again. This knowledge will put a spring in your steps. If you would speak the Word in your home, to your business and finances, the atmosphere will change for good. That’s a guarantee because the Word truly works!
