Good morning believing ones!
God’s Word can still do everything today that Jesus did when He walked the earth. God sent His Word to heal, deliver, and provide for us, however, we must BELIEVE WITH OUR HEARTS that He will do what His Word says. To BELIEVE WITH YOUR HEART means to believe with your spirit, which is the unseen core of a person. BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART is believing apart from what your physical senses tell you.
When we truly BELIEVE WITH OUR HEARTS, we no longer feel we need Jesus to come down from His throne to deliver us (see Romans 10:6-7). Instead, we understand the power of His Word. Jesus sent His Word to heal and deliver us. His Word is able to accomplish whatever He can accomplish.
Through His Word, we obtain our inheritance, deliverance, healing, provision, etc. BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART (or your spirit) means you believe what God’s Word says, despite your current circumstances.
John 1:1, 14 says,
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
Jesus is the Word in flesh form. Therefore, Jesus and the Word are the same. In this context, Jesus represents how the Word, which is spiritual, can manifest in the physical realm. The Word that we apply to our lives can bring forth actual, tangible results as well. In Mark 11:23 Jesus declares,
- “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says”.
Hallelujah!
Believing with all my heart,
