To Know the Word of God - Part 1

To get God's Word working in your life, you have to believe, study it and speak it.  You've got to know what His Word says.  To know the Word of God, you have to open up your bible and READ it.  Make reading God's Word one of your daily habits.  To gain a better understanding of God's Word, purchase a good study bible.  Before you begin to read your bible, ask God to reveal to you knowledge of his Word, and then READ with expectancy.  Grab a pencil, highlighter or yellow marker, a notebook, sticky notes and begin your study.

As you read, record questions or comments that drop in your spirit in your notebook.  If a particular scripture stands out, highlight it, write it on the sticky note and post it someplace in your home where you will see it everyday.  Throughout the day, think about those scriptures that were embedded in your mind.  Before you go to bed at night, review in your mind what you read, look at your sticky note and ponder on the word of God.  When these actions are done with consistency, God's Word will transform your spirit and mind.  This is only the beginning, and there is much more to come in the Word of God .

Be Blessed!

Stand Like Crazy

We have all heard this saying, "when life throws you lemons, make lemonade."  And how does one make lemonade?  1st you have to buy the lemons, wash them off, squeeze them or roll them until they are tender, grab a knife and cut them in half, squeeze them over a large container to get the juice out of them, add sugar, water and stir like crazy.  WOO-LA, you got yourself some lemonade.  In this example, you have to work the lemons to get to the juice to get to your desired results-lemonade.

Well the word of God is like the process of making lemonade.  When life throws you trouble, seek God's Word.  1st you got to go to the Bible, find the scripture for your trouble, read, study and meditate on Word of God, pray earnestly about your trouble and thank God for answered prayers, add faith to your prayer, add worship, patience and praise to your faith, and STAND LIKE CRAZY. Stand therefore until you get what you are believing God for.  SO STAND LIKE CRAZY with continued praise and worship in faith until you have a WOO-LA moment - your results of your prayer.
