Standing on the Word!
It's one thing to speak the Word of God and another thing to live the Word of God! We can quote scriptures and read scriptures until eternity, but until you actually live this Word and walk in obedience to his Word, it is of no purpose to us.
Walking according to God's Words may put you on a plain path and it may feel like no one else is on this road but you. As the picture shows, the grass always looks greener on the other side; so don't be distracted by what is around you but take heed:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the way of death. Matthew 7:14
1. The Word of God brings stability and understanding to our hearts. Psalms 119:105 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
2. God always gives us direction even in the midst of a storm. Are you listening for his voice?
Learning how to walk with God takes patience and we must have a mind-set to wait on him to speak to us and know that he will deliver us. Standing on his Word is more than actually standing on a physical Bible. Standing on his Word means we must put his Word into action in our lives and be an example to others so there is no question as to whether God is with us.
In the midst of a life and death situation, you must put all of your confidence in him and know that through faith God is faithful and will never leave us. This is not the time to doubt and have wavering thoughts. You must stand on the foundation of his word because his word will not return void.
When you lose a love one, if you are not connected to God your emotions can take you from one extreme to other side of the emotion It can seem so hard for you to bear and hopeless. But having his comfort in such as this is when you really start understanding the Power of God's Word.
Until you walk into the arena where you have no control of your now or your future; you will think about everything, every scenario regarding the situation, the who, what, why of what is next. understand this one thing, this is where your faith is tried and tested and you can either be in denial about the situation or call out the Word that is on the inside of you. Once you take the stand, you will begin to see the Word of God spring up, take root and break through the ground of your mind and reveal to you what has taken residence in your heart. This is when you find out who you really are and where you stand in God. God's Word is life and that more abundantly!
Take courage my brother and sister because now you are in a spiritual battle. Dry your eyes and start looking unto God who is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think. Ephesian 3:20 vs KJV . God can do what the doctors think impossible. God is greater in you than you ever imagined. Take a leap of Faith! Hope thou on God. Don't give up, know that your redeemer lives and he hears your cry and will come to your rescue.
You must remember that the weapon of your warfare are not carnal but might to the pulling down of strong holds. Prayer is your weapon as you walk through this season. Pray without ceasing! Make your petition known unto God and worship and give him praise. When you stand using these weapons you will come out victoriously!
There is hope and God has a plan for you so press toward the promise God has for you!
