Faith and the Word

you can’t have faith without the word

“No matter how grand your intentions‚ no matter how enthusiastic you are about serving the Lord and doing great works in His Name, no matter how much you want to remain strong and unswayed by the attacks of the Enemy in your life, this will never be enough if you’re not connected to Him and strong in His Word!”

read, absorb, drink in

“Faith–the faith that keeps your spirit strong‚ the faith that helps you to see things through My eyes, the faith that keeps you forging on for Me–is only found through faithful study of My Word. You’ve got to read it, absorb it, drink it in, and let it change you and strengthen you. Otherwise you’ll continue to weaken, and the Enemy will continue fighting you until he’s rendered you totally useless and you’ll fizzle out and fade into oblivion.”

“It’s a law of the spirit that faith comes through hearing and studying My Word. The more time you spend drinking in My Word and storing it deep within you, then the better your faith ballast will be.”

children of my word

“You, My children, are not children of this world. You are children of My Word. If the Word were taken out of your lives, you would die spiritually. You would become lifeless. I am bringing you to greater dependence on Me, and when you walk this road you will find that your very survival, your very life, depends on just that – Me and My Word. If you don’t get the power needed from My Word, if you don’t get the energy, the drive, the passion, the determination, the faith from My Word, you will not succeed. You need My Word. “

“The way you grow in faith is through the Word–not just reading it, but receiving it, believing it, accepting it and applying it.”

“I reward you with faith when you choose to believe Me and obey Me by reading My Word” (Romans 10:17).

faith and the word

“You have heard of the saying, “where there is life there is hope,” and this is true of your spiritual life. The life is God’s Word, because that is what gives you hope for any situation. If you have lost hope, then you need more Word. It gives you faith, and as long as you have faith, anything can happen. The best way to have the Lord’s Spirit is by feeding on His Word and letting it enter you, fill you, feed you, and give you faith, hope and power–power for whatever you need, including strength to overcome your weak areas.”
