God gave each of you an important job regardless of your employment status. He gave the preacher AND the stay-at-home parent the same honor of using His name to go to the masses. He puts a value on life that no other religion or philosophy could have imagined. Are you seeing more than your own little world?
Why is knowing God’s Word so important? Because God’s Word is His will, and when we learn what God has already done for us and provided to us through His grace, we can use our faith to confidently receive those things that are already ours!
Jesus said “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). He is saying that following His success will make you someone that others want to follow. Men will be caught by your posture, words, peace, and authority in the midst of challenges. That is true leadership!
Jesus was God, but He put off His God rights and did nothing on earth that a human could not do. He clothed Himself in humanity to be our model. This limitless life is what He is encouraging you and me to experience now when He tells us, “All things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
If you make a habit of focusing on the physical evidence in your body or the appearance of the circumstances around you, more than on what the Word of God says, your life will reflect the reality and the results of that pattern of believing!
There is a place where sickness cannot stay, and you are equipped with more than enough to answer every need of every good work. There is a place where peace, dignity and love rule in your daily walk. When you call on Jesus He comes to live in you—and He makes YOU the place where all things are possible!
Many people believe in Jesus but are scared of the devil. I am not afraid of the devil because God lives in me! I am saved! I am healed! I have been delivered! I have been set free! The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead NOW LIVES IN ME!
What is the fight of faith? It is continually directing my mind to think and speak like scripture says, rather than focusing on the circumstances. It’s identifying with God’s ideas more than my own, and holding onto HIS Word when outward appearances look otherwise!
We need to put God’s Word in our hearts, because His Word is His will for us. Once you write His Word and His will on your heart it will be a joy for you to pray, because you’ll know when your petition is according to His will!
Jeremiah said to God, “I can’t because I’m too young.” Isaiah said, “I can’t because I am a man of unclean lips.” David said, “I can’t because what are humans before you?” Jesus was different. He said, I am and I can. “I am from my Father and as my Father works so I work” (John 5:17). He has given us a new way of thinking about ourselves!
