Walk on the Word

All the promises of God find their yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter out Amen to God for his glory. -I Corinthians 1:20

A few days ago, I was honored to hear a familiar message/word spoken. And yet, there was an explosion in my soul and a revelation that jumped into my heart. The eyes of my heart were awakened again.  So, I think it's my responsibility to share it with you as well:

Peter didn't walk on water. He walked on the word of Jesus.

I know. Mind-blowing and it definitely messes with the religious part in you. But Peter followed the voice of Jesus because of relationship. He stepped out of the boat into the storm because he heard Jesus say "Come." He trusted the voice that was calling him. He wasn't concerned with his circumstances--only Jesus.

And this is how I am called to live. It's how you are called to live. In complete freedom--looking to Jesus alone. When sickness hits or depression or finances failure or relationship breakdown enters our lives (because it will), where do we fix our eyes? On the situation? On the circumstance? On how we can fix it? On our own strength? On the strength of others?

Or--do we look to Jesus?

The wonderful thing about being a believer in Jesus is that he is the answer for every situation. And when we turn to him--fully surrendering everything else and stand on him and who he says he is, we find ourselves changed and our circumstances changed. His word--what he proclaims--answers every situation:

Sickness: He is the Healer.

Depression: In Him, there is fullness of JOY!  (Psalm 16:11)

Finance Difficulty: He is the Supplier. He feeds the birds of the air. How much more will he take care of you? (Matthew 6:26) He will supply EVERY need according to the riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

Relationship Breakdown: He is the Restorer. He restores your life. (Psalm 23:3)

The point is this: You are created not just to walk in knowing about Jesus, but you are called to know him and thus, know who you are in him. You have a great and mighty calling on your life!

You are called to speak into your life--your surroundings and circumstances and speak them into alignment of the Kingdom of God! You have authority.

Every promise of God find their Yes and Amen in Christ alone! It's for his glory!!!

I encourage you to "take on" this truth. Test it for yourself. And don't stop when you don't see change right away. We're called to expect (coming from the word HOPE) because this is a certainty in Jesus.

Now, go! Change the world around you! Bring blessing and peace to all that is around you!

The reality of God's Word trumps your circumstance.

In Jesus,

Hellen
