A. Believe the Word of God:
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” –Mark 11:24 (NIV)
Whatever the challenge—FAITH will bring you the victory. Whenever a challenge arises, the first place you go for answers is the Word of God. It can be tempting to just believe what the world says— what the doctor says, what your employer says, what your friends say, what your family say, what everybody say. Faith goes over the world’s conclusions and takes only what the Word of God says.
B. Speak the Word of God:
“He will have whatever he says.” –Mark 11:23 (NKJV)
Words are a powerful force, they are primarily for power release. Words created this planet. Jesus modeled this for us when He came across a fig tree that wasn’t bearing fruit. And He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat your fruit again!” (Mark 11:14). Eight words. And the moment He spoke, the tree was done. Then, He just turned and left. He didn’t wait to see if it worked—He just spoke to the tree and left. The next morning, it was dried up just as he had said. Faith filled words will not return empty, they will go to the place where you have sent them, and do the thing you said to do. You can speak to money, to your business, to your body, to your car, house, etc.
C. Act on the Word of God:
“But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” –James 1:22 (NKJV)
James 2:14 says, “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (NKJV). What does it mean to act on the Word of God? First, It means whatever you see in the Bible—do it. Second, It means expecting what God has said to come to pass. That means if you believe you receive your healing, you do what you couldn’t before—begin to move part of your body you weren’t able to before, get out of bed and take a step. If you are believing to get out of debt, put feet to your faith and pay even one dollar toward what you owe. When you act on the Word, faith begins to grow, Satan’s dominion begins to wane, and circumstances begin to yield. When faith increases, it begins to change your attitude and outlook.
