How
to Activate the Word of God in Your Life
The
Word of God is powerful. It
is full of promises. It has
answers for us. It is life!
It contains promises of joy, victory, and success for YOU!
Listen
to some of God’s Word:
“Never
will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
“And
my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ
Jesus.” Phil 4:19
“I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil 4:13
These are wonderful, powerful verses, aren’t they?
The Word of God can profoundly affect our lives.
We should benefit from it.
But
do you know that even though the Word is powerful,
we can go our whole lives without getting any benefit from it?
We
can live and die as though the promises of God were never made.
We
can be brought up in a house of worship, go to a church or synagogue, or
listen to the preacher or rabbi every week.
And still what we hear has little influence on our lives.
At
the end of our lives, all that could be really be said is that we did not
benefit from it; we got no real advantage from it - even though we heard
the Word for so many years.
It
didn’t impact our lives or hearts like it could have. We did not experience the promises, the power, or the
answers.
It
had the power to give us joy, but we were not joyful.
It had the power to give us victory, but we were not victorious.
It had the power to give us success, but we were not successful.
Why
didn’t we experience all of the joy, victory, or success that we could
have?
How
can we go through an entire life of hearing the Word of God
and not benefit from it?
Is
there a magic formula, a missing ingredient, or some special thing that we
need to know about?
We
can get the answer right from the Word of God itself – from the Bible.
