Walk By the Word—Not by Sight or Feelings

If we want to walk by faith, the Word must be superior to everything else and anything else. The Word must be superior to any knowledge, whether that knowledge is ours or someone else’s knowledge. We must also remember this, that when we trust God with all of our hearts, there comes a quietness and a peace into our spirits.
Hebrews 4:3 says, “For we which have believed do ENTER INTO REST. . . .”
my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19)
then we just simply know in our spirits that everything we need will be supplied, and we don’t worry. We have no anxiety. If we’re worrying, if we have anxiety, then we’re not believing. Our hearts take courage as we read the Word. As we meditate in the Word, our assurance and confidence becomes deeper. This assurance in our spirits is independent of our human reasoning or of human knowledge. That assurance may contradict human reasoning; it may even contradict physical evidence, but to believe God with your heart means to believe apart from your body or mind anyway.
God’s Word works for you whoever you are. Amen

Faith Casts Down Human Reasonings

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4,5 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down IMAGINATIONS [or reasonings], and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity EVERY THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ.

It is a matter of a person believing God.
Go down the middle of the road and stay ready to go.
the Word says I’m healed. The Word says I have my healing. And I believe the Word.”

Those words are for someone today, let me know you have your healing, you are the healed Amen

God’s Word Is Faith Food

To believe with the heart means to believe with the spirit—the inward man. How does our spirit get faith that our intellect cannot obtain? Through reading and meditating on the Word. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4,
“. . . Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Jesus is speaking here of spiritual food. He is using the natural human idea—bread—to convey a spiritual thought. The Word is spirit and faith food. The Word of God is to the spirit of man what natural food is to the body of man. Our spirits become filled with assurance and confidence as we meditate in the Word.
The Word of God is the food that makes our spirits strong and that gives us quiet assurance and confidence. You see, the body, the physical or outward man, believes in what he sees with his physical eyes or in what he hears with his physical ears or in what his physical feelings tell him. But the man on the inside—the spirit or the heart of man—believes in the Word regardless of seeing, hearing, or feeling. His believing does not depend on sense knowledge; it depends on the Word of God. Amen

Believe and Receive—Then Have

When Jesus said, “. . . What things soever ye desire . . . ,” He meant just exactly what it said (Mark 11:24). And when Jesus said, “. . . when ye pray . . . ,” He meant the very moment you pray. You are to believe you receive whatsoever things you desire the moment you pray.
Jesus said, “. . . BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them.” In common, everyday language, Jesus said, “You’ve got to believe you’ve got your answer before you get it!”
This is a small nugget I was never taught in Sunday School or the church I grew up in. Even in the great University I went to learn the Word of God I was not told I was to believe and receive when. But that is in fact what the Word says. I hope this bless' you. Amen

The Revelation of God’s Word in Your Heart

You’ve got to get the revelation of God’s Word in your heart. That’s the reason we have to depend upon the Spirit of God to open and unveil the Word to us.
It’s very difficult sometimes to get people to see some truths from the Scriptures because they sometimes try to figure it out with their minds, instead of with their spirits. We have to depend upon the Spirit of God to unveil and unfold the Word to people. Amen good Word for someone.

The Inward Man

ROMANS 7:22 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
In Romans 7:22, the spirit of man is called the “inward man.” So this inward man and the hidden man gives us God’s definition of the human spirit. Remember the real man is a spirit; he has a soul; and he lives in a body (1 Thess. 5:23). With our spirit we contact the spiritual realm; with our soul we contact the intellectual and emotional realm; and with our physical being we contact the physical realm. You can’t contact God with your mind. You can’t contact God with your body. You can only contact God with your spirit. And God contacts and communicates with you through your spirit.
Can you remember as a sinner how the Word of God affected you on the inside, in your spirit? The Holy Spirit through the Word, spoke to your heart or your spirit. You heard the Word with your physical ears, but it affected your spirit.
The Word of God is of the Spirit of God, and the Bible says the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind. The reason the Word of God is foolish to the natural mind is that you don’t understand the Bible with your head; it is spiritually understood. You understand the Bible with your heart or your spirit. Amen

The Heart of Man

For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. —Romans 10:10 
Notice particularly the words, “For with the heart man believeth. . . .” It’s with the heart that man believes. Now when God speaks of the human heart here, He is not speaking of the physical organ. He is actually speaking of the human spirit which is the very center of man’s being.
We know that man was created in the image and the likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). That means man is in the same class with God. Man has to be in the same class with God, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to worship God in spirit and in truth.
To believe God with your heart means to believe God with your spirit—the real man or the inner man. Amen

The Hidden Man of the Heart Is the Real Man

The same thing is true with the “hidden man of the heart,” as the spirit man is called in First Peter 3:4. Your spirit man on the inside is actually the “real you,” for it is the part of you that is eternal.
The inward man, your spirit, is called the hidden man. He is the man of the heart; the man of the spirit. The hidden man is hidden to the physical or the natural man. The natural man doesn’t necessarily want to submit to the inward man (Rom. 8:7), but the inward man—the spirit man is the real man on the inside.
Believers need a new psychology, which goes beyond the mere study of the mind of man. We ought to call it spiritology because psychology only deals with the operation of the human mind through the physical senses. Psychology books have to be constantly changed because they are based on natural human knowledge and theories. Spiritology, on the other hand, would be the study of the human spirit. In Romans 7:22 the spirit is called the “inward man.” This inward man or the “hidden man” in First Peter 3:4 gives us God’s definition of the human spirit.

The Spiritual Realm Is Real

Jesus with His physical body now in heaven is not more real than the Holy Spirit or God the Father is real. God is a Spirit. Some people think God is some sort of an impersonal influence. No, God is a Spirit.
The Bible says that angels are spirits, or spirit beings, and yet angels have a form or a spirit body.
God is a Spirit; yet He is no less real because He is a Spirit than He would be if He had a physical body. Jesus with His physical body is now in heaven (Heb. 1:3), but He is not more real than the Holy Spirit or the Father is real. Spiritual things are just as real, even more real than material things. Amen
