God’s Creative Force – Part 3

Your spirit is programmed by words: Faith comes by hearing the Word of God; fear comes by hearing what the enemy says.  No person in his right mind would go around confessing the same thing his enemy says – you have enough sense to know your enemy’s words are designed to work against you.  The devil wants you to create a distorted, unworthy, self-destructive image on the inside of you, with words authored by the enemy of your soul.

Jesus didn’t say God would bring forth good things.  Man brings forth good things (Matthew 12:35).  Not out of his head or intellect, but out of his heart (Matthew 15:11, 18-19).  The last thing the devil ever wants you to see is the facts of the recreated spirit.  Here are some of those facts:

1. You were created for GOD; you are His workmanship, not your own. (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:12)  You have become a son of God so you can be a partaker of His divine nature, very capable of fellowshipping with deity.  Satan can’t do that.  He is a dead spirit, he cannot function in the realm of the God-life as man can.  The reborn human spirit is a higher creation!  Man was created to have fellowship with deity.
2. You were created by spirit. The spirit of man is not of this world. The creative ability of man comes through his spirit.  When man has God’s Word abundantly abiding in his heart and speaks it forth in faith, he speaks spirit words that work in the world of the spirit.  These spirit words dominate the natural world.
3. Your spirit can change the world. The words Jesus spoke (John 6:63) were of the Word of God. He released faith through the words He spoke.  His words penetrated the spirits of men.  Their spirits heard Him and they acted from their spirit on His spirit words.  (John 5:8; Mark 3:5; Mark 5:41; Luke 7:14; John 11:43) Spirit words spoken by Jesus ignited the faith that was already residing in these people.  It caused an explosion of God’s ability on their behalf.  It was all set in motion by words spoken in faith.

Today many are born again and hear the Word, but hearing is not the foundation (Matthew 7:24-27).  Doing the Word is the foundation that made the one man successful in life.  God’s Word is the only true knowledge (Hosea 4:6), and it will make you stable even in the storms of life (Psalm 112:7).  Speaking God’s Word will bring God on the scene (Jeremiah 1:12), for He is watching.  To disagree with the Word opens the door to the devil. 

The thief comes to steal (John 10:10).  Jesus came to undo the work of the devil (1 John 3:8).  Jesus purchased our freedom from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13-14).  We find in DEUT 28-30 the curse of the law. The Word says you are free.  Be smart enough to agree with God! 

Now whether I ever get it or not, that’s up to God.  As long as I say what He said and do what He said to do, I am doing my part, and you can rest assured God will do His part.

Learn to put the Word of God into confession form.  Then agree with the Word.  Look at Proverbs 14:3.  It tells us that the lips of the wise WILL preserve him.  They WILL preserve him through financial crisis.  They WILL preserve him when other’s say there is a recession or a depression.  His lips WILL preserve him if he confesses what the Word says, if he acts on the Word.  The knowledge we have, we are to use aright. 

If you don’t act on God’s Word, you won’t be experiencing God’s best (James 1:22-25).  You have to speak the words to change the world around you.  Don’t be just listeners, but doers and so get the blessings of God.  Note also: A lot of folks seem religious, but the Word said if he doesn’t control his tongue, it will destroy all that he said he believed (James 1:26).  You need to KNOW what the Word of God says about you.  Determine now to know what the New Covenant (contract) says about you.
