So many of us go to church on Sundays, some of us even add the mid-week service to what we do. Most of us read our Word daily, and a lot of us read Christian books. Many listen to praise and worship music, and watch Christian television, but let me ask you this…Where are you in your life? Are you walking in your healing? Or are you still dealing with sickness? Are you walking in your deliverance? Or are you still addicted to things? Are you walking in courage? Or are you still fearful? Are you walking in your prosperity? Or are you still dealing with lack? If your answer is yes, and you are still dealing with sickness, or addiction, or fear, or lack, then you are missing something. You are missing the blessing of God. You might say…Well, I’m doing all the things I’m supposed to be doing! I read the Word, I pray, I go to church, I worship, I don’t get it, what is going on? Why are my circumstances still the same? The answer is right here in James 1:22-24…
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.”
So many of us are “hearing” the Word from all different sources, it seems as though we surround ourselves with the Word, but are we “doers” of the Word? When sickness comes up are we consistent in confessing “By His stripes I am healed.” (Isiah 53:5). When other situations come up what are you doing? Are you acting on the Word of God? That means confessing the Word, that means walking the Word out. Are you doing that in those areas of your life in which you might be struggling, or are you speaking what you are feeling, or the things you see around you in the natural? Remember you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7), so if you are sowing sickness, doubt, fear, etc. then that’s exactly what you will get. So from this point on I want each of you, when situations arise to act on the Word. Make a decision to not do what you want to do, or not open your mouth and say what you want to say, but instead do what the Word says do, and say what the Word says. Then you will be blessed, and you will see your circumstances start to change around you. God bless!
