You don’t need to “work” the Word; you simply need to accept It as being true.
We don’t need to ask FATHER 500 times to heal us, we really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me. To know Me is to know My Father too. 7And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”
With these Words Jesus spoke, why do you question any Word Jesus expressed in The Gospels? Why do you think that the devil does not want the Name of Jesus mentioned in the media? The Name of Jesus, when mixed with true authority given to those willing to embrace it, is more powerful than anything else on this planet. Once the disciples finally understood and convinced of this Truth, they were able to fulfill their callings.
Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:
1One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer. 2As they came to the entrance called the Beautiful Gate, they were captured by the sight of a man crippled from birth being carried and placed at the entrance to the temple. He was often brought there to beg for money from those going in to worship. 3When he noticed Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them for money.
4Peter and John, looking straight into the eyes of the crippled man, said, “Look at us!” 5Expecting a gift, he readily gave them his attention.
6 Then Peter said, “I don’t have money, but I’ll give you this—by the power of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk!”
7-8 Peter held out his right hand to the crippled man. As he pulled the man to his feet, suddenly power surged into his crippled feet and ankles. The man jumped up, stood there for a moment stunned, and then began to walk around! As he went into the temple courts with Peter and John, he leapt for joy and shouted praises to God.
9When all the people saw him jumping up and down and heard him glorifying God, 10 they realized it was the crippled beggar they had passed by in front of the Beautiful Gate. Astonishment swept over the crowd, for they were amazed over what had happened to him.
Peter and John got it! They operated according to the revelation of what Jesus had been preaching to them for 3 ½ years. After His resurrection, Jesus spent the additional 40 days teaching them on the Kingdom of GOD. Once they finally connected the dots so to speak, they walked in the same power and authority as Jesus, Our Elder Brother and Perfect Example. You and I need to set forth the same expectation.
