The Power in Applying God's Word

by Daniel N. Brown

In God’s plan for every believer is peace, hope, and a good
future (Jeremiah. 29:11). It is His will that we live
abundant and prosperous lives but the enemy will try to
destroy every ounce of peace and hope we have by bringing
doubt into our minds.

If you are experiencing doubt and discouragement in your
life right now it's because the devil is robbing you of
the blessings that God has for you. The devil is a thief and
it is his only mission to steal, kill, and destroy, but
Jesus came that we may have life and have it more
abundantly (John 10:10).

Did you notice the word “may”? Webster’s Dictionary
describes “may” as permission, opportunity, perhaps, and
possibly.

God has done His part by sending His Son to die on the
cross, not only to save us from our sins, but also to give
us life abundantly. Whether we have life abundantly or not
depends on us! 

God has given us His Word, which is our roadmap for success
(Joshua 1:8). His Word is forever established in heaven, and
whatsoever we shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven
and whatsoever we shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven (Matthew 16:19). What are you binding and loosing in
your life?

As Christians, it is our duty to know God’s Word and what it
says about us. We must exercise our faith daily by speaking
the Word over our circumstances if we want to see positive
changes come about. 

Remember, the Word is like a two-edged sword. It cuts one
direction to bring about the changes we desire and another
direction to halt the devil. Just as Jesus used the Word to
defeat Satan in the dessert (Mathew 4:1-11), so should we. 

Jesus knew the Word, and He applied it. So, in order for us
to apply the Word, we also should know it.

It has been said that knowledge is power, but that power is
completely useless unless it is applied. Only applied
knowledge is power.

In God’s plan for every believer is peace, hope, and a good
future (Jeremiah. 29:11), so I hope you are currently involved
in a bible study group or have a bible-reading program
established for yourself. You have got to know and apply
the Word of God to live a victorious life and experience all
the good that God has for you!
