THE WORD Part 5: How to affect your circumstances with the Word

Ephesians 6:10-17
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Hide the Word in your heart

Mark 4:14-15
The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Psalm 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

Proverbs 7:1-3
My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, and my law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

Meditate in it

Memorize it

Rest in The Word

Mark 4:26-29
And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

Take the Word into battle…SPEAK it.

Mark 11:23-24
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:21 (MSG)
Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.

Guard your words

Proverbs 13:3
He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

John 14:30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
