On Faith.. Serious Thoughts

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." 1 John 5v4
 
As a child of God, you’re not a loser; you’ve already been declared a victor! You’re not one of those trying to win or striving to get the victory. The Word proclaims that you’re more than a conqueror!

• In 1 John 5:4, the Spirit of God declares that you are above every circumstance because your faith is the conquering power that tames the world.

• The world can’t withstand that faith power in you.

That means you live in victory by speaking faith-filled words. Your faith subdues the world and its systems. You nullify whatever policy or law made to work against you in this world by your faith-filled words. Therefore, never brood over any loss or any contrary thing that has happened in your life.

• The message of faith isn’t meant to sympathize with you. In other words, faith doesn’t look for care, rather, faith cares; faith doesn’t cry out for help, it helps!

It’s high time you declared that you’re the overcomer that God has called you. You’re not a loser but a victor in Christ Jesus, for the greater One lives in you. You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you; He energizes you and dwells in you. He lives in every bone of your body, He’s in your blood, skin and voice for the life of God is inside you. Sickness, defeat, failure and poverty are all of the past because you’re the King’s kid now. Speak faith-filled words into the lives of your spouse, children and other family members; speak faith-filled words on your job, over your finances and business. This is the victory that overcomes the world!

On the Word of God

Not only can God's Word nourish and build you up spiritually, physically and materially as revealed in Acts 20:32, it also washes, purifies and cleanses your spirit, ridding it of fear, doubt and guilt. When the Word gains entrance into your heart, fear and doubt melt away, and faith takes over; righteousness displaces guilt, and strength replaces weakness. All these are the results of the cleansing and transforming power of the Word in you. Some Christians tend to appraise their spiritual growth in terms of how long they've been born again. Well, you may have been a Christian for twenty years, that's not what transforms your life. The Word of God in your spirit is what transforms your life and takes you from one level of glory to a higher level. That's what changes your state, and instates you in your estate in Christ. You must realize that what God seeks the most to give you in your life, is not healing, money, a job or any of the physical things you could be asking for. What He seeks to give you is His Word in your spirit; for He knows that the Word in you will make you what it talks about. So settle your heart on the Word today, and watch yourself transformed from glory to glory.
