…Verily
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20).
The Word of God is real
and true, but that doesn’t mean the experiences of your life will automatically
line up with it. You’re the one to make them so. This is the fight of faith the
Apostle Paul talked about in 1 Timothy 6:12: "Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses."
You’re the one to
appropriate all that Christ has accomplished on your behalf in spite of
everything your physical senses may otherwise perceive. You’re the one to
subdue the circumstances around you, the forces or the symptoms that attack
you, and effect the change! There’re those who say, "I believe the Word,
but why are things not working out right for me?" It’s like someone who’s
hoping that God will set him free someday; that’s not going to work, even
though he believes it, because that’s not faith.
"Believing"
the Word is not enough; your believing must translate to faith. Faith declares
the Word to be real and true NOW, and acts accordingly. The contrary
circumstances will not change by themselves, or change because you believe.
Romans 10:10 says, "For with the heart man believeth 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
"Now 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."
Confession
My faith is the victory
that overcomes the world; nothing is impossible unto me! I live victoriously
today because I live in, and by, the Word; I’ve taken hold of my victorious
life in Christ Jesus, basking gloriously in health, peace, prosperity, success,
and abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
