The Bible is God’s medicine for you, because by reading the Bible you strengthen your faith. Then as Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes,” (Mark 9:23). The Apostle Paul wrote, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,” (Romans 10:17). This is why it is so important to read the Bible—to take God’s medicine!

We are soldiers; we have the belt of truth, the shield of righteousness and shoes of peace. I will not be afraid; I know that God will answer my prayers. I know that God will not leave me. He will take care of me, because He said in His Word, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Proclaim His Word, remind yourself of His promises. Do not let the devil blind your mind—oppose him with the truth of God’s Word!

Our Father said, “Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:23-24). God is good!

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened… If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11).

How should we ask?  With confidence. How should we seek? Earnestly. How should we knock? With perseverance and confidence. “Father, I believe in Your Word. I believe that Your Word is true, and I expect to receive an answer from You.”

Put on the helmet of salvation. Surround your mind with the thoughts of salvation. Words have power over our thoughts—speak the words of salvation!

The Gospel is peace, wear it on your feet! Speak it aloud! Think about it! Pick up the shield of faith and believe that God will fulfill what He has promised!

There is spiritual power in your words. That is why it is so important to ask God, to talk with Him. God knows your heart, but your words are very important to Him.

Matthew 18:20 promises that where two or three are gathered together in His name He is there in our midst. When the Word is preached, His presence is preached, and His presence fills the atmosphere around us.

1 Peter 1:23 says that you and I are born again of an incorruptible seed by the Word of God.  John 1:14 tells us that Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh. What does that mean for you and me? That means His Word is actually He Himself being released into the atmosphere around us. When we speak His words, He is present to heal in our midst. Luke 5:17 and many other scriptures let us know that as His words are being spoken, He is filling our midst with His presence!

What God has written in your heart, when spoken from your lips, is like a spiritual magnet that draws the favor, circumstances, and people necessary to see it fulfilled. Temporary course changes, shortages, shrinkage, or setback will not affect future fulfillment!

We forget as believers that God has given us options to make our lives easier. We may declare the promises of God over our lives with the expectation that these promises are producing healthy results!
