I simply cannot improve upon Kenneth E. Hagin's Faith Food for today!
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17).
The crises of life come to all of us. If you do not know how to act on God's Word when a crisis comes, you will be at a disadvantage. No matter what the problem is, God's Word has something to say about it. God's Word has the answer. Find out what the Word says, and act like it's true!
When someone asks the question, "What in the world are we going to do now?" Just smile and answer, "We're going to act like the Bible is true!" Many people mentally agree that the Bible is true, but that's not enough. You must act like the Bible is true! If you know God's Word is true, and you act like it is, then it will become real in your life. You will bring God on the scene in your life!
Confession: God's Word is truth. I act like God's Word is true. I act like First John 4:4 is true. I act like Matthew 6:25-34 is true. I act like Hebrews 13:5-6 is true. I act like Philippians 4:19 is true. I act like Matthew 8:17 and First Peter 2:24 are true. I act like all the "in Him" scriptures are true. I act like it, and they are a reality in my life!

AMEN! The only way to go from "mental assent" to genuine Bible faith is to hear and meditate on the Word of God! Romans 10:17 says this:
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
This hearing involves hearing yourself and others speak, teach, and sing the Word of God! It also involves meditation, which is thinking about, talking to yourself about, talking to others about and listening to what the Holy Spirit has to say about the Word of God! Joshua 1:8 says this:
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
So make it YOUR determined purpose to think, speak and obey the Word of God more every day! Write down any and every thought you have about the Word that you're meditating on! Make it a habit and lifestyle to go over these things every day and to act on what you learn. Then speak and declare the Word of God over every situation and circumstance in your life. HE will confirm His Word (Mark 16:20)! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "God Is Able":
