There’re Christians whose experiences in life are an antithesis oftheir faith and the Word of God. For example, they may believethat as Christians, they’re not supposed to be oppressed by Satan, yet they experience continual satanic attacks and manipulations. They believe they aren’t supposed to be sick or have infirmities in their bodies,yet they’re hardly in good health. Something is wrong.
There’re two important areas to examine in dealing with such inconsistencies. First is the accurate understanding of the Word. InMatthew 13, Jesus emphasized the importance of understanding whenHe taught on the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:3-9).
In His interpretation of the parable, He explained that the seeds thatfell by the wayside represent those who hear the Word of God and don’tunderstand it. Due to their lack of understanding, Satan comesimmediately and steals the Word from their hearts (Matthew 13:19). Anaccurate understanding of the Word is so important. When you understand the Word, you’re able to apply it rightly to produce results foryou. Proverbs 4:7 says, “...with all thy getting get understanding.”
The second thing is your communication; the words you speak. Ifyour words are inconsistent with the Word of God, your life, which is theoutward manifestation of your words, will also be inconsistent. The Psalmist said, “...my tongue is the pen of a ready writer” (Psalm 45:1).Your tongue is the pen that writes God’s Word on your heart. What you say is written on your heart, and out of that abundance, your mouth speaks.
Always study and listen to the Word; bombard your mind and yourspirit with the Word, and then speak accordingly! Your life will be the manifestation of the Word. Praise God!
