BEING CONFIDENT IN THE WORD

 

BEING CONFIDENT IN THE WORD

 

Philippians 1:6   Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Paul is saying, be confident, or have confidence in what he is teaching: so, what is this very thing?

It’s the good news that God invested in you, when you made Jesus lord of your life through faith.

That this word of faith will perform or finish this work or, this very thing, until the day of Jesus Christ.

Paul was communicating the word from what god told him, to the Philippian church

Paul is saying, have confidence in God’s holy word.

The word confidence means, an assurance of mind or firm belief in the trustworthiness of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.

Galatians 6:6   let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

We are to communicate unto him that teaches all good things. This is addressing Christ Jesus because of the word ALL good things.

That is why it is so important to have communication with our Lord and our God. God created us for the purpose of having a family to communicate with.

When you speak to God, the words you speak activates Gods word. It transfers His word directly through your spirit. this is how God communicates with us. This is done by His Holy Spirit to our spirit. from the Holy Spirit to the natural man.

Let the person that has been taught about the word of God, then, that person should communicate with the one that does the teaching.

That’s how we grow in the word, through communication with the one that does the teaching.

We grow through communication.

The word communication means, to make known, that is to say, share or participate, the good news of Christ Jesus with as many people as possible.

It also means to transfer or release the power and authority from faith toward the people that might not understand the word.

This is the purpose of a believer. You as a believer must know what faith is, what faith does, and how to use faith. This is how you will be able to reach others and bring some to believe in Jesus.

You can’t transfer or release something you don’t have or something you don’t know.

So how do we get this word, so we can transfer or release it in our spiritual lives?

Roman 10:17   so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Hearing by the word of God is the communication that transfers or releases the power and authority from faith.

That the forces of faith, might become effectual, or have adequate power to produce what the word through faith says and do what the word says it will do.

You also release those forces of faith by acknowledging every good thing which is in you by Christ Jesus.

Faith is a tool used by the assurance that when we speak we can know with a firm belief and trust in the truth of Gods word, and that it will accomplish what we decree and declare.

It is by faith that you release or transfer that communication from your spirit to your body.

Your spirit man is the real you. Your body is just the house the spirit lives in.

Hebrews 11:1   now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is not just a word, faith is a substance, it is the evidence of things not seen.

You need to stay alert, and acknowledge this “good thing” which is in you in Christ Jesus.

You must believe and confess the reality of the soul, spirit and the word, and that the power of it is real.

That reality and power will transfer knowledge from the spirit man to the natural man.

We need to be confident of the good work of God, which he will perform in us.

Isaiah 55:11   so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which i please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto i sent it.

When God speaks… things take action, when you speak, your words activate the power of God.

The power of life and death is in the tongue of the believer.

Proverbs 18:21   ²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Be careful of the words you speak. Are your words spoken in love, is it the truth, is it factual? Take time to give thought to your words.

Jeramiah 17:9   ⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Most of the time when we speak it is according to how we feel, or what someone may have said to you. No matter what is said keep your heart and thinking pure.

3 John 1:2   beloved i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Since your spirit has been sealed when you became a believer, we need to concentrate on keeping our soul right with God so he will be able to prosper us.

Release the wisdom of the word in everything that pertains to the purpose of your life.

Speak the word, it works.

When you speak his word, it activates and transfers Gods power and authority from your spirit which is supernatural to the body, which is natural.

Isaiah 54:17   no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. this is the heritage of the servants of the lord.

No weapon, natural or supernatural, will prosper when it comes against you. We are the heritage of the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5   ⁵ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Start trusting God, he is still in control. Don’t lean on your natural understanding. This can go very wrong very fast by trusting in our natural understanding.

Speak to your brain tell it you are in charge and for it to do its job.  let it know that it has been slack lately and you are not happy about it.

Tell it to line up with the mind of Christ Jesus and the word of God.

Your brain’s job is to regulate the body. if your body hurts speak to the hurt, tell it you are in control.

Your brain and your thinking regulate the body because the brain is the control room of your soul.

Talk to your finances, tell them to get in line with the word of God.

Let the spiritual body tell the natural body who is boss.

Reach out and take this power and authority that Jesus paid for, and invested in you so that you might be strong and fight that good fight of faith.

You also need the confidence in God with an assurance in the truth and the mercy of God.

Now you see why you can’t please God without faith.

The very thing Paul was talking about was the blessed hope in Christ Jesus.

 

Stay in the word,
