Summary:
God’s Word can still do everything today that Jesus did when He walked the earth. God sent His Word to heal, deliver, and provide for us; however, we must believe with our hearts that He will do what His Word says. To believe with the heart means to believe with the spirit, which is the unseen core of a person. Believing with the heart is believing apart from what the physical senses tell us.
- “For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith” (Romans 4:13).
- Those who are born again are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
- When we truly believe God’s Word, we no longer feel we need Jesus to come down from His throne to deliver us (Romans 10:6-7).
- Instead we understand the power of His Word.
- He sent His Word to heal and deliver us. His Word is able to accomplish whatever He can accomplish.
- Through His Word, we obtain our inheritance, deliverance, healing, provision, etc.
- Believing with the heart (or the spirit) means to believe apart from what is seen in the physical realm.
- “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
- The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus is the Word in flesh form (John 1:14).
- Therefore, Jesus and the Word are the same.
- In this context, Jesus represents how the Word, which is spiritual, can manifest in the physical realm.
- The Word that we apply to our lives can bring forth actual, tangible results.
