DEVELOPMENT OF PRINCIPLES : I am talking about principles, not formulas. Confessing God's Word is a principle that must be developed. It is not just a formal. It is not going to work just because you say it (Mark 11:23) But saying it is involved in working it. It's a process of hearing the Word of God. It takes time. It takes weeks. Sometimes it takes months. It must become a way of life to you. Your religious practices and your church attitude must be renewed to the Word of God. Quite frankly, the first stage of confessing the Word of God has very little effect on the problem areas in your life. It will affect them only when you believe what the Word of God has to say about them and confess what the Word says. Also speaking it is involved in causing faith to come. And it's not just a mechanical formula. It's a matter of being obedience to God's Word. Don't do like some people have done. They said, "well, I'm a faith person, I'm going to confess the Word of God. I'm going to quit my job and live by faith." No, don't quit your job. Use your faith own your job. Don't throw all good business sense aside. But take the Word of God and build it into your spirit until you know that you know that you know God's Word is true in you. When you are that sure, you will have a manifestation of it in your personal life. The more highly developed you get in either fear or faith, the quicker the manifestation will come. Some are more highly developed in fear. and Some are more highly developed in faith. Remember these two things. Fear comes by hearing the words of the devil and the world and its crowd. Faith in God comes by hearing God's Word and those who talk faith not fear not doubt nor unbelief. It is hard to improve on what God told Joshua: "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou may just observe to do according to all that is written there in; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8). Be advised, there are a group of people who are calling themselves Israelites and are promoting the law of Moses to bring people back under the bondage to the law of Moses. Christ Jesus is the end of the law of Moses and the beginning of the law of faith. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH PRINCIPLE: ... The righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise. . . The Word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart... (Romans 10:6--8). These are the words of apostle Paul, revealing the way the Word of God enters the heart or spirit. The power of God's Word conceived in the human spirit produces a spiritual force called faith. Mary conceived God's Word in her spirit. Not her head! It manifested itself in her body. I want to share with you God's principle and how you can operate in that same principle. These are divine principles. They are spiritual laws. But we can operate in them. PRACTICE BRINGS UNDERSTANDING: To be effective with the principles of the Bible, you must learn to practice them, in other words be a doer of the Word of God not just a hearer. You have heard the saying, "practice what you preach." But when you preach what you have already practiced, you will be far more effective. Then you will find what makes it work and what will shorting it out. Remember to practice God's principles. Set them in motion. Put them to work in your life. Let's notice how God dealt with two situations and the principle involved. In (Luke 1:20) we find that Zacharias lost his speech for more than nine months because he doubted what the angel said. God sent the angel to him, but Zacharias didn't receive God's Word. And he said like many of you are doing today! Then on the other hand when the angel brought news to Mary that she would have a child, we find that she said ... Be it unto me according to thy Word... (Luke 1:38)
