The Lord delights in each one of us to succeed in life, we can make it hard on ourselves when we try to do it our way. In Jeremiah 17:7- Blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. He does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green, It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
So there is a right way and a wrong way to succeed as a born again child of God. All the answers we need are in the word of God, its whether we want to search them out. Of course its what you do with them when you find them that's important. What makes that tree to have its roots sent out by the streams? We first have to trust in God, putting all our confidence in Him. The only way to get trust in God is to find out and meditate, and do what the word says! Joshua 1:8 -This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you should meditate it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
We choose life by choosing His words! It's when we take the time to meditate them day and night! It may be a drastic change to some of us, but look what God said would happen, prosperous in our way, we can deal wisely with the affairs of life much better! That is not emptying your mind and being mindless like zombies, its simply taking his words and speaking them, roll them over in our thinking, saying it out loud, chewing on it long enough for it to become revelation!
There is such power in that truth but not every one is willing to do it. God has not changed his mind on that principal at all! It is possible to develop in this area , other wise God would not of given us that principal. When we worry about something, that's just meditating on the negative, same thing but wrong principal.
So there is a purpose in doing it that way, and the results are success. I can look at times when I did it that way and I truly did have success in the area I needed! Once you take the time to meditate his word and pray about the area you need direction in, God can direct you in the way you should go and what to do. That's when we can see the miracles we want for other's, for ourselves. We can't just read our chapter, and say oh I did my duty now, or confess until we are so worn out with no results. We have to let God breathe life, revelation life on those words to us. Revelation will bring transformation to us. The word can just be information if we don't take time to meditate and give Holy Spirit time to breathe life on them.
Its letting the word confess to us who Jesus is, Paul was specific in Ephesians 1:17- I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Its knowing him, its in Him that we receive our miracle our direction when we pray and need answers. Its in knowing him that when he's directed you to do something your senses wont talk you out it, REVELATION AND FAITH MEET AT THE SAME PLACE, THE MIRACLE HAPPENS!
We can't have a Spirit life relationship based on our natural understanding, we will always be questioning our Father when we need answers!
So we have to go beyond just confessing the word, we have to go beyond just listening to our sermon on Sunday's and looking to other's to feed us. That is part of it, but it doesn't stop their! Its putting these scripture's in action! We can't do the WORD BEFORE THE WORD TALKS TO YOU ! That takes meditation and chewing on the word, thinking on it. The Lord is not saying we can't think on other things, of course we can. The thing you are thinking on ask yourself is it pure, lovely uplifting me, bringing me joy? The bible says's whatever things are pure and lovely think on these things. Start to focus on all the good things the Lord has done for you and become that tree whose roots are sent forth to streams. Those streams can become avenues to other areas in your life for you, for others. It starts to be living waters flowing from you, from your inner most being that your test will become a testimony! God has the answers you need for every solution you are looking for! SEE JESUS IN THE WORD, personally, just for you, meditate and let Him breathe life and get God results!! He loves you !
