Faith is based on the Word of God.

"The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." Matthew 8:8

For you to operate in consistent faith, you must live by the Word of God and not your feelings. If you base your faith on your feelings, your Christian life will be difficult and unfulfilling. Faith is not based on feelings, physical circumstances or sight. That is why the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:7, "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)" Therefore, faith is only based on the Word of God and not on any sensory evidence.

As such, whatever God has said to you in His Word is what should be your reality. Any contrary thing you see, feel or hear, are all subject to change by your faith in the Word of God, because the Word has creative ability. So, if you are faced with challenging circumstances, act in line with what the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:18, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

What are those eternal things that we are to fix our attention on? The Word of God. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." In Isaiah 40:8 (BBE), the Bible says, "The grass is dry, the flower is dead; but the word of our God is eternal." So, fix your attention on what the Word of God has said concerning your health, finances, future, your children, etc. Let that be your final authority and the foundation upon which you base your life.

The Roman centurion in our opening scripture said, "… speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." The Word is all that you need to be a success in every area of your life. In the realm of faith, the Word of God is enough.

Confession.

The Word of God is my life. I live by the Word of God. Whatever the Word says is what is final authority in my life. I declare that I am strong. The Word of God abides in me and I have overcome the wicked one. Amen.

Doing the Word

Do not ever base your faith on any physical evidence. Base your faith only on the Word of God.
