The Prevailing Word of God!
Introduction
What are the greatest battles I have seen within Christianity is for believers to understand the importance of the Word of God in their lives. We must understand that. The apostle Paul told us in Romans 12:1-2, that we need to continually renew our minds so you understand God’s working and guidance in our lives.
The Word takes the place of the unseen, Jesus. Meditation in the Word is a visit with the Almighty Savior. The Word needs to get into our very being. It may become our very nature. We are to react only using the Word of God.
Acts 19:20 states “so mightily grew the word of God and Prevailed. This took place in revival an emphasis that was shaking the very nation. Ephesus was the central point of idolatry. It was not Paul’s preaching. It was not his logic or philosophy. It was a Word of God that made the difference. Acts 12:24 says the word of God grew and multiplied. It grew in the minds of people It gained against supremacy over them. We are to follow God through His Word by faith not by our carnal senses. When we preach the Word of God, the Lord confirms His Word, with signs and wonders.
Faith makes the Word Prevail.
We have heard time in again, that the Word of God comes by faith. Many Christians really do not have faith in the Word of God. Faith must become our second nature. We must judge every circumstance that we confront, every situation that is contrary to the word of God. We must go to the word of God to see how Jesus would handle any situation.
Matthew 8: 23–27 we see the word of the prevailing in Jesus lips. He even commanded the laws of nature. You remember He said to his disciples “oh, ye of little faith, then He arose in rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm, and they stated what manner of man is this even the winds, and the sea obey Him.”
The Word prevailed in The Faith of the Centurion.
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly. Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the WORD, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. Matthew 8:5-10.
The word on the lips of Jesus prevailed over the disease in the centurion’s servant.
In Matthew 14:13-21. The word in Jesus lips ruled the law of supply and demand. Five loaves and two fishes multiplied until 5000 people are fed and 12 baskets of fragments were left over.
It says in John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that has been made.”
Jesus and the Word are One.
Can you imagine that the Lord God has used the human language by calling Jesus a word. Do you understand that the whole universe was brought into being by WORDS. We have the SPOKEN WORD, on the lips of Jesus: then we have the WORD made flesh that came and wealth amongst us; then we have the SPOKEN WORDS on the lips of the apostles before the Pauline revelation came. And finally, these WORDS were put on paper in the language that we might understand and have a permanent record of the Living Word.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us… John 1:14
For this reason, we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, who Himself effectively works in you who believe. I Thess. 2:13 (Moffat).
He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalms 107:20
The Word Prevails Over our Senses.
Hebrews 11:1, says that faith is giving the substance of things we have hope for. Hope and faith are always in combat. Faith wins because it is real. Hope it’s always future it’s a dream. is never real. Faith reaches up and grabs hope, and brings it into the present realm.
The central truth of this teaching regarding faith versus feelings is.
• #1 we need to find a promise of God for whatever you are seeking.
• #2; believe God ‘s word.
• #3; do not consider contradictory circumstances.
• #4; praise God for the answer.
We cannot understand God by our feelings. We are told to walk by faith and what God ‘s Word says to us. The only way will get to know God and understand Him and get acquainted with Him is through the word. Many people want goosebumps, they want to feel good, then they think their prayers are heard. God says without faith it is impossible to please him. Our faith should not be based on feelings but should be based on God ‘s word. This is not Christian Science. We base our faith on God and His Word not in the mind. I am not saying to ignore the symptoms of the body. I am telling you to get your body into line with what God’s Word says.
Carnality vs. Spirituality
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh (controlled by our five senses), but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded (controlled by our five senses) is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Rom. 8:5-7 (KJV)
Don’t Consider Your Body
Faith changed Abraham’s hope into reality as he believed the Word of God that came to him.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, He was able also to perform.
Romans 4: 19-21
The Word on Our Lips
We are told to preach and teach the Word of God. In the ministry of Jesus on earth He was fearless in the presence of disease and demons. He was one with the father and as he spoke the Father was speaking. In John 14:9, “Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Jesus spoke the Word and He healed people, delivered people, The Apostles preached the Word and healed people, delivered people. To preach the Word is to preach Jesus! “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” 2 Tim. 4:2.
The Word Makes Us Conquerors!
The Word of God on our lips makes us conquers. We are longer victims of sin, sickness, and disease. We are no longer bound to Satan. We are no longer bound to circumstances and situations. We are Overcomer’s because He overcame.
He overcame hate. He overcame demons. He overcame sickness and disease. He became the sacrificial lamb taking the wrath of the Father, which fell upon Him so we can walk and victory. He became sin, who knew no sin so we could become the righteousness of God, His works, we can do because He has given us all authority.
• I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13
• He has delivered us from the power of darkness and [a]conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Col. 1:13.
• Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor. 3: 5-6.
Remember the way you think is the way you will speak. And the way you speak is the way you will live.
