Today's devotional from Jerry Savelle's website goes right along with what we've been looking at on this blog this week!
Spiritual Laws
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8 NKJV)
Just as God established physical laws, such as the law of gravity, so there are spiritual laws that have been set in motion by God. And they are just as sure as physical laws. God’s physical laws can be found in a physics book; His spiritual laws can be found in the Word of God, the Bible.
Although it is God’s will that you be fruitful, blessed, healed, and prosperous, there are some prerequisites to obtaining these blessings. And these prerequisites are found in His Word, specifically in Joshua 1:8, which we read above. The spiritual law and its prerequisites found in this verse can be summed up simply like this: talking the Word + meditating the Word + acting on the Word = prosperity, wise dealing, and success.
I have applied this spiritual law consistently to my life and ministry for many years now, and it never fails to produce the promised results. But this law wasn’t just written for Jerry Savelle; it was written for you too. And when you begin to apply it to your own life, you can expect the same results.
Confession: I make the quality decision today to study the Word of God concerning my areas of need. I believe the Holy Spirit reveal to me the spiritual laws I need to clearly see and put into practice so that I may obtain the victory in every area of my life.
AMEN! There are no shortcuts to growing up in the Word of God and in the things of God! It takes faithfulness, diligence and consistency, but each one of us CAN attain to a greater working knowledge of God's Word, Who HE is and who WE are, as a result o all that He has done for us! Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us this about the thoughts and the ways of God and how much higher they are than our natural human thinking!
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Hosea 6:3 shows us that we CAN know, but it will take a choice to press on!
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. KJV
AMEN! "Follow on" is the Hebrew word "radalph", which means: to run after; to pursue; to chase; to closely attend to; to aim to secure. When we desire to know more about HIM and His Word, we will! Keep running hard after God and His Word and you will find the Word rising up big in you and producing results! YOU are valuable to His plan for reaching the lost! Don't ever forget that as a born again believer, YOU are a member of His Body and have a specific job to do! LET'S GO! Here is Hillsong United with "GO":
Shalom in Him!
