Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me (Hebrews 13:5-6).

 

God didn’t give us the Scriptures merely for information, inspiration, or moral instruction. While the Scriptures certainly build and educate us, Hebrews 13:5-6 gives us a profound insight into the ultimate reason God speaks to us. His Word produces in us and for us what it talks about. And I’ll explain how this works.

 

After saying in verse five, “...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,” verse 6 says, “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper...” Notice the sequence: He spoke so that you may speak. This is one of the most important principles in the Christian life. God gives you His Word so you can receive it into your spirit and speak the same thing in agreement with Him.

 

So, in Christianity, we speak God’s language, we declare His Word boldly and we have what we say. God already lives in you by His Spirit. If His desire were merely to control you mechanically, He wouldn’t need to speak to you through the Scriptures. But He wants you to become an active participant in the divine experience, in the operation of His Word, by speaking in agreement with Him.

 

This is how faith works. You receive God’s Word into your spirit and voice it. You speak His truth concerning your health, your future, your finances, your family, and every area of your life. The Word of God in your mouth is God talking; His power goes to work in your behalf, aligning circumstances in your favour.

 

Many desire God’s Word to be fulfilled in their lives but they don’t speak it. Yet, the Word only becomes effective in your life and circumstances when you affirm it boldly. Therefore, always speak life, victory, righteousness, health, prosperity, and dominion. This is the secret of a triumphant Christian life.
