STEPS TO OVERCOME THE TRIALS OF LIFE

 Step 2:  Taking God at his word.

 In the first step, you have learned some benefits and rights you have. In the words of Jesus Christ. You, know who you are in Christ.  Which gives you the ability to tap into the power of, the living the word of God.

It is a great comfort for all believers to know, that Jesus is the beginning, and the end, of all things.  He is the Alfa and Omega (Rev. 1:8).  He was at the beginning of all creation (John 1:2)

 Jesus was the word made flesh, the bible says that he was with God when all things were created and nothing, would be made without him (John 1:1-3).

The point I want you to see is the following.  Jesus was the word that through God and being God himself.  Became flesh (man).  The same power displayed and lived through Jesus exists in the word of God.

The word of God is a living power.  It lives from everlasting to everlasting (Hebrew 4:12 and John 1:1).  The Word of God, God himself, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, in a common sense are all in one, from past generations to generations to come.

God has created the world and all that exists today through his word.  How?  In the book of Genesis 1:3 God said, “Let There Be Light”, and there was light.  What I want you to realize is that through his voice command he spoke into life and into existence all things:  Earth, Heaven, Sea and all living creatures including you and me.

God spoke, commanded, sent forth his word and all things were done, thing changed and it all came to pass.

So, the same power used to create, develop and set in motion the universe is available to in the Holy scriptures-The-Bible-The Living Word of God.

As the Book of Hebrews Chapter 4:12 states, the word of God is alive-Full of Living Power and just waiting to execute and accomplish whatever it is commended to.  It is alive to be befit and give light and salvation for the righteous and judgment to unbelievers (Det 30:19)

If you choose to use, live and apply.  The Living Word of God, in your Life, it not only will give you Life.  But also, will work for your benefit prospering your ways and delivering you from all snares of life.

The power invested in the Word of God.  God sustains the world and everything in it by the power of His Word, can you grasp what that means?  God’s, Word to your life. (Psalm 33:6-8).

The word of God is a lamp for your feet and if you choose it, to guide you and be what it is meant to be for you, there is nothing in this world or in the world to come that could resist you (Psalm 119:105).

God spoke through the prophet Isaiah that his word can be compared to the rain and snow, they come down from Heaven, water the land and cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.  Now read this carefully and receive in your spirit it’s meaning:

 “It is the same with my word.  I send it out and it always produces fruit.  It will accomplish all I want it to and it will prosper everywhere I send “(Isaiah 55:11)Niv. 

Brothers and Sisters if the word of God is a living word, filled with the power that created the world and still holds it up, God is telling you and me that when you speak his word and command it or send it to do something it will not come back empty, It will not return void, but it will accomplish whatever it is sent for.  It will cause you to prosper and to be a conqueror.

Like the kids in school say “Do you feel me?”  Can you realize now that the words in your Bible are the word of our almighty God available to executed as often as it is commanded?

The time is to seek in the word of God instructions, information that will cause you to be victorious in any area of your life.  This power has been working throughout the ages and it will work for you too.

Imagine a Trip:  You are traveling on a highway and suddenly you get lost.  What do you do?  You seek information, right?  You probably will look at a map of the area and once you find the instructions and guidance to your final destination you are back on the road and eventually you will reach your goal.

The word of God is the map of life.  You may be on the wrong path, lost, tired and discouraged by the battles and trials of life, but now you can change that, through the word of God.  Which is power a living weapon that will cause you to overcome any obstacle.  Don’t take a detour or short cuts.  Take God at his word because if he said it, it will be fulfilled, it will be accomplished.

Do you remember when Jesus warned his disciples about the signs of the end?  Well, he also said:

 “Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will remain forever” (Matthew 24:35). 

The word of God is so powerful that it will never pass nor be shaken.  Trust God with all your heart, and faith.  Don’t, doubt what God has said and declared, instead believe that God is able to deliver all things he has promised, spoken and assured.  Take God at his word.  Abraham was declared righteous because he never wavered his faith.  It took sometime but God brought to pass all promises made to Abraham (Romans 4:19-22).  He took God at his word and so shall you.  Next Step:  You will learn to apply God’s word in the areas of your life.
