Your word is truth.Notice that the above verse doesn't say, "Your Word is fact." Truth goes beyond facts. The fact may be that you're having relationship troubles. The fact may be that the doctor said you have an incurable disease. What does the truth have to say about it?
(John 17:17)
The truth is absolute. Truth doesn't give in. Truth doesn't change. So, facts are subject to truth. It can be a fact that you are sick as can be, but God says you were healed by the wounds of Jesus when He died on the cross.
That's the truth!
Now you have a choice. You can apply the truth of God's Word to the fact that you're sick and the fact will change—or you can agree with the facts and things will stay the way they are.
I'll tell you right now, it will be much easier just to agree with the facts, because facts scream a lot louder than God's Word does.
On the other hand, God's Word will be quiet—until you start speaking it out of your mouth.
Once His promises come out of your mouth in faith, they will be the final word. If it is God's Word about healing, you'll be healed. If it's His Word about financial success, you'll be financially successful. If it's His Word about rescuing, you'll be rescued.
God has given you His contract. When you do your part by believing, speaking and acting, God's Word will bring results. No circumstance on earth and no demon in hell can stop it.
So forget all those stories you have heard about so-and-so who believed the Bible, but it didn't work for him. Quit asking questions and settle it once and for all. God's Word is truth!
