How to see God's Word fulfilled in your life
HOW TO SEE GOD’S WORD FULFILLED IN YOUR LIFE?
No spoken Word from God shall be without power or impossible of
fulfillment. Luke 1 v 37. If God speaks something, it will come to
pass.
Ezra 1v1 Amp. In order to fulfill the Word (will) of the LORD
by the mouth of Jeremiah the prophet, the LORD stirred up (put in motion) the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia.
Prayer point - Father, may every word you have spoken
to me to be fulfilled by the stirring of my heart and the hearts of
others. Put in motion everything that is needed, to fulfil your
plans and purposes. Amen.
God’s Word is like a seed; it comes filled with instructions to produce
according to its own kind.
Question – Am I willing to hear, listen and respond to his instructions?
God himself stands over and watches over His own Word, making sure it is
fulfilled.
Jer. 1v12 - Amp - Then said the Lord to me, You have seen
well, for I am alert and active, watching over my Word to perform it.
Jer 1v12 – KJV – “For I will hasten my Word to perform it”.
Jesus taught in the parable of the sower, that in order for the seed
(THE WORD) to produce is must take root and be established in good
ground. (Matthew chapter 13)
The Word of God is good seed; it contains everything needed to be
productive. We can pray that he will help us to prepare our hearts
to become the good ground that his Word can take root and be established in
us.
Isaiah 55 v 11 God’s Word accomplishes that which He pleases and
purposes and it prospers in the thing for which He sent it.
WHAT IS THE CONDITION
FOR SEEING THE WORD OF THE LORD ACCOMPLISED IN OUR LIVES?
Isaiah 55 v 6 -11 v. 6 SEEK,
INQUIRE and REQUIRE the LORD while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity
and by right] CALL upon Him while He is near.
Word study - SEEK = desire,
find, ask
INQUIRE = ask,
investigate, look into
REQUIRE = need for a
particular purpose, make necessary
Cross Reference scriptures
New Testament – James 4 v8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to
you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you
double-minded.
Jer. 29 v 12-14 “ Then you will call
on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I
will listen to you. 13 Then [with a deep
longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital
necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your
heart. 14 I will be found by you,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and I will [free
you and] gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have
driven you,’ says the Lord,
‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
NOTE: When studying the Old Testament
scriptures, always look for a NEW TESTAMENT scripture to cross reference
with. Bringing the old into the LIGHT of the NEW. It is
important that we remember that CHRIST has fulfilled the old, and brought us
into his LIGHT.
Isaiah 55 continues – v7 –
Let the wicked forsake HIS WAY and the unrighteous man HIS THOUGHTS; and let
him RETURN to the LORD and He will have love, pity and mercy for Him, and to
our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon.
(think about the prodigal son, how the Father could
not restore him, until he decided to return. Then the Father was
waiting and ran out to meet him.) Take
careful note of the instructions given in v.7.
What are your WAYS, and your THOUGHTS? Take
time to reflect if they are in alignment with God’s ways and thoughts.
v 8 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
v 9 – For as the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your
thoughts. v 10 – For as the rain and snow
come down from the heavens and return not there again, but water the earth and
make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to
the eater.
TAKE NOTE – the rain comes from heaven, waters the
earth – so that the EARTH brings forth and sprouts SEED to the sower and bread
to the eater.
If you think of your heart as being the ‘earth’ and
the rain being the Holy Spirit bringing the WORD down to us. The
Word, is that SEED that grows and produces everything we need (our bread).
v 11 – So, shall my WORD BE that goes forth out of
my mouth, IT shall not return to me void [without producing any effect] BUT IT
SHALL accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the
thing for which I sent it.
Jesus said we shall not live by bread alone
(natural things and words) but by every WORD that PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF
GOD.
NOTICE – v 11 says “SO, shall MY WORD BE that goes
forth OUT OF MY MOUTH”.
This is why, we must ask for God’s Word, his will
to be made known to us in everything. (We must gain the wisdom to know and
understand that we cannot simply quote scriptures.)
Proverbs 3 v 5 -6 – Trust in the LORD with ALL your
heart and lean not on your own understanding, in ALL your ways acknowledge him
and he will direct your paths.
GOD’S WORD PRODUCES GOOD RESULTS just like GOOD
SEED produces GOOD FRUIT
Spiritual LAW/Principle = Every SEED (spiritual or
physical) produces after its own kind.
What are you doing with the SEED?
Isaiah 40v8 The grass withers, the
flower fades, (natural, physical seed) but
the word of our God (spiritual seed) stands forever.
cross reference scripture – New Testament - 1 Peter 1 v 24-25 For all flesh (natural
seed) is like grass and its glory like the flower of grass. The
grass withers and the flower drops off. (our bodies and the works of
our flesh are physical and fade away) BUT the Word of the LORD (his DIVINE
SEED) ENDURES forever. AND this WORD is the good news which was
preached to you. (the sower sows GOOD SEED by preaching the WORD OF
GOD).
Psalm 119 v 160 The sum of your WORD is
truth (the total of the full meaning of all your individual PRECEPTS) and every
one of your RIGHTEOUS DECREES endures forever.
Word study
- PRECEPTS
= a rule or law intended to regulate behaviour or thought
RIGHTEOUS
= good, excellent, right
DECREES
= an official order that has the force of law
If our precepts (our core beliefs and ideology) are
NOT in total alignment with God’s precepts, we will be forever creating wrong
concepts. Thus, wrong precepts – create MIS-CONCEPTIONS.
Matthew 5 v 18 - God’s Word will never
pass away.
Hebs 1 v 23 God is dependable and faithful to HIS
WORD.
The WORD of God is tested, tried and proven. (2
Sam. 22v31, Psalm 18v30, Proverbs 30 v 5)
GOD keeps HIS WORD even if men don’t keep
theirs. GOD’s WORD is true and will come to pass – NO MATTER what
people do, say or believe.
The question is, will you be in the centre of his
will or let it pass by?
God’s Word will work for you WHEN you will believe
it. (to believe, is more than agreement it is total ALIGNMENT).
Example: Agreement is saying “I know that
God can heal me”. BUT Alignment is saying “I know that Jesus has
already healed me”.
Read – Romans 3v3-4, 2 Tim. 2 v 13, 1 Thess. 2 v
13, Romans 4 v 18 v 21
Prayer Point - FATHER, Let the seed of your Word,
which contains everything necessary for your plans and purposes take root and
be established in my heart. Let your will be done in my life as it
is in heaven. Teach me your ways and your thoughts.
