…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."
