Use Your Faith · Thursday, August 22nd

…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. f u r t h e r s t u d y: ; ; Daily Scripture Year Reading Plan : , 2 Year Reading Plan : ,
