THIS from today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin is the very best way to start your study of the Word of God!
"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater....And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life..." (1 John 5:9, 11-12).
Faith in God is simply faith in His Word. Study God's Word with this determination: I will find out what God says and agree with it. You can't expect the things of God to work for you if you take sides against His Word. This may mean unlearning certain "religious" ideas. Too often we've been religiously brainwashed, instead of scripturally taught.
Find out what God says in His Word regarding:
(1) What God has made available for us in His plan of redemption
(2) What the Father is to you
(3) What Jesus is doing for you now at the right hand of the Father
(4) What the Holy Spirit is doing in you
Then find out from His Word what God thinks about the following:
(1) What He says you are in Christ
(2) Who you are in Christ
(3) What you have because you're in Christ
Even though it may not seem real in your life, start confessing, "Yes, that's mine, according to God's Word." You will then find that faith's confession creates reality.
Confession: I agree with the witness of God. What He says I am, I am. What He says I have, I have.
If you are a born again believer, then you HAVE a Covenant with the God of the Bible that cannot be broken! But nothing within that Covenant can be of use to us until we KNOW it! Find out who YOU are, IN HIM. Then study to find out what belongs to you as a born again child of God! When you begin to put this Word into practice, you give HIM something to confirm with signs, wonders and miracles that show off Who HE is to the lost! LET'S GO! Here is Hillsong United with "Go":
Shalom in Him!
