The Simplicity of Faith

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]:  it is sharper than any two-edged sword. -Hebrews 4:12 AMP

God operates in faith by believing and saying, and God gets exactly what He says. Everything God does, He does by speaking.

Did you ever notice that everything God does in the world today, He does by His Word on the lips of believers? That’s how God carries out His plan on this earth.

How did you get saved? By believing in your heart and saying with your  mouth. Then how are you going to get healed? By believing in your heart and saying with your mouth. How are you going to get your needs met? By believing in your heart and saying with your mouth. How does faith work? By believing in the heart and saying with the mouth.

Thank God, He made it easy for us. Faith is so simple. Faith is just taking God at His Word.

So feed on God’s Word until you get it on the inside. Read it, study it, mutter it, meditate on it and think about it until it is lodged deep down in your spirit. Then declare God’s promises with your mouth and watch God bring them to pass. James 2:20 says that faith without actions is dead. So act on your faith. Open your mouth and boldly declare, “Thank God, by Jesus’ stripes I am healed!” It’s that simple!

CONFESSION:

I believe with my heart and say with my mouth that God’s Word is true in my life. His Word says I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. The power in that Word is working in me now, healing , strengthening and restoring me to health.
