Praise God! "You shall know My WORD!
DECLARE IT BEFORE ME, and GO FREE!"
It's very difficult for most Christians to
renew their minds to constantly think,
I
am in a BLOOD COVENANT relationship
with Almighty God, and my blood
Brother, JESUS! Meditate on Numbers
23:19, until it's absolutely branded on
your spirit and mind!
Now get this: That's the reason the
Bible is called The WORD of GOD, or
GOD'S WORD. In the first
covenant,
God made
promises in the blood of
animals, and then in the blood of men
through circumcision. However, in the
second and everlasting covenant, He
GAVE HIS WORD in the precious,
sinless BLOOD of JESUS!
Think about it like this: "I, Kenneth
Copeland,
give you my word that I will
supply your need for that project." I
would never, EVER, make
a promise
like that unless I could back it up. I
want you to take hold of the
relationship between
giving my word
and my promise. They are the same
thing—especially with
God. But, wait just a minute. He's no
longer just our God. HE'S OUR LOVING
FATHER, and according to 2
Corinthians 1:20,
all His promises have
been fulfilled in Jesus or, you could
say, BY HIS BLOOD!
The New Living Translation says it like
this:
19 GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD
LIE; NEITHER THE SON OF MAN, THAT
HE SHOULD REPENT: HATH HE SAID,
AND SHALL HE NOT DO IT? OR HATH HE
SPOKEN,
AND SHALL HE NOT MAKE IT
GOOD?
Now we know, and can begin to fully
understand, what it means to "STAND
ON THE
WORD of GOD." The power is
in The WORD, right? Yes, but it's only
because He promised, or
gave His
WORD. And it's only if, and when, you
believe and act on it. If I gave you my
word that I'll supply the need for a
project, it's worthless until you
respond. The project will remain
unfinished until someone has enough
faith in my integrity to act as if what I
said is true. That's the reason James,
Jesus' half brother said, and I'm
paraphrasing: "God's blood-sworn
promise is powerless unless it's acted
upon in faith" (James 2:20).
Well, I hope I've helped you become
even more mindful of the
absolute
integrity of the written
WORD of God.
The Bible is simply a copy of what God
has already said.
He declared it, we
declare it. He said it, we say it. We
believe it, and then He makes it good!
My job, as a believer, is to believe it
and say it. His job, as my
High Priest, is
to bring it to pass, or make it good.
Hebrews 3:1-2 says:
20 FOR ALL OF GOD'S PROMISES HAVE
BEEN FULFILLED IN CHRIST WITH A
RESOUNDING "YES!" AND THROUGH
CHRIST, OUR "AMEN" (WHICH MEANS
"YES") ASCENDS TO GOD FOR HIS
GLORY.
1 WHEREFORE, HOLY BRETHREN,
PARTAKERS OF THE HEAVENLY
CALLING, CONSIDER THE APOSTLE AND
HIGH PRIEST OF OUR PROFESSION,
CHRIST JESUS;
