We as the body of Christ must enforce the promises of God that Jesus bought and paid for. We are redeemed from sin, sickness, poverty, lack, and evil, but we don’t just automatically get all these things piled on us, we must enforce the Word of God on the devil. We must say “NO” to his wiles, his constant lies, and the barrage of evil that accosts us each and every day. A sword that hangs by your side does no good unless it is grabbed by the possessor, and used to stop enemies. Constantly muse, mutter, and ponder the Word of God, and orally speak it into the atmosphere to create the things it promises. Remember, Jesus was the “word made flesh” (John 1:14). So also is it when using the rest of the Word of God. Speak, and it begins to exist, just like Father God spoke the universes into existence. Will you swim upstream against the strongest river you have ever imagined? Will you teach your mind and tongue to speak the Word of God day and night, in season and out of season, when it is easy and when it is all you can do to breathe? Set your face like a flint, follow the LORD Jesus, and pattern your life, words, and thoughts after HIM!
