Jeremiah 23:29 Does not my word burn like fire?" says the Lord. "Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?
The Word of God has far more power in it than we realise. We look at the words on the pages of our bible and just casually read them, maybe forgetting God's word can burn things up, like sicknesses, and smash strongholds to pieces even if they're as hard as a rock!
So how do we use God's word and apply it to our situations that can seem impossibly hard? God wants us to come into agreement with Him, not try to reason everything out or contradict what He has said.
Jesus said 'Only believe' and that is the best place to start and then to speak God's promises out of our own mouths over our situations. A hammer works by constantly hitting a nail with it and the word of God works the same way. We constantly apply it to our situations that look like they're set in stone.
I had a friend once whose bank balance had gone into the red so he applied God's word to it and declared over his statement "God is supplying all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, so bank account I tell you to come back into the black." In due time it did.
You see he believed what God said, agreed with it and declared it over his circumstances. God says we are more than overcomers. Now it may not feel like it or look like it, but that's what God's word says so our part is to agree with God by faith.
Lord help us to come into agreement with Your word this week and declare it over our lives, and we believe we shall see some things burned up and smashed to pieces by it in the coming days. Amen.
