“So we see that they could not enter in
because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:19.
The word ‘unbelief’ in our opening scripture is from the Greek
word 'apistia.' Apistia means faithlessness or disbelief. So you see that the
reason certain Christians are not able to enter into God’s rest in different
areas of their lives is because of their unbelief and faithlessness. It is not because the devil is strong.
The reason many Christians are not getting results in
their lives is because they do not believe the word of God, neither are the acting
on the word of God. For instance, you get to your friend's house and he says,
his brother is beginning to lose his mind. Seeing and hearing that will cause
the average Christian to run away. Why? Because he has no faith. Yet the Bible
tells us that even the devils are subject unto us. (Luke 10:17) That means that
the devil in that guy is subject to you, but because you have not been hearing
the word, you have no faith, because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the
word of God. (Romans 10:17).
When the word of God gets into your spirit, you would not
only believe it, you would act upon it. Faith is believing and acting on the
word of God. So, you have not heard the word, believed and accepted the word,
until you’ve acted on it.
I remembered one time I was standing on a street and a
mad man was coming. I wanted to cross over because of the mad man, but the
Spirit of God said to me, “No, you don't, he will have to cross over for you.”
And while we were standing there, the brother beside me was a little nervous.
But the mad man walked towards us, looked at me, turned, crossed the road and
passed through the other side.
That is the Spirit of dominion at work. I believed
the word, stood my ground in confidence, and the devils were subject. It should
be the same thing for you, your response to God’s word should always be this;
“If God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.”
CONFESSION
The
word of God is my life. I believe what the word of God says concerning me above
all contrary evidence. The Spirit of dominion is at work in me, for greater is
He that is in me than He that is in the word. All devils are my subject,
because I have been given authority in Christ trample over all the power of the
devil, and nothing shall by any means hurt me.
1 John 4:4, Luke 9:1, Luke 10:17, 1 John
5:4-5.
DOING THE WORD
Listen to your confessions and always see to
that you are acting accordingly. If you are not acting accordingly, it means
you are not walking by faith.
