Faith in the heart of a believer brings healing, breakthrough, restoration, and victory. The Bible says faith comes from hearing the Word (Romans 10:17). When we meditate on the written Word of God, the Holy Spirit takes what we read and meditate on, makes it alive inside us and reveals its truth to us in a way that we can understand it. This is wonderful because faith has the power to bring every circumstance in our lives to align with what God’s Word says. However, it’s not enough to just believe the Word in our hearts, the only way the power is released is when we speak out what we believe (Romans 10:10). We literally turn our faith loose to see change when we release it through the words we speak. That’s what Isaiah 55:11 and Jeremiah 1:12 tell us. God watches over the words we speak – if they are His Words – He makes sure they come to pass, when we believe them in our hearts! We need to be expecting to see the things we declare! It’s vitally important for us to spend time reading and meditating on God’s written Word to understand Who He is and who we are in Him. We learn all the marvellous benefits we already have because of what was won for us and the authority we have been given through the finished work of the cross. When our hearts become full of these truths – we are able to believe them and speak them out over our lives with an expectancy to see them become our reality! Praise God! He promises that the expectation of the righteous will never be cut off (Proverbs 23:18) – so know what He says, believe it with all your heart, speak it over your life and expect to see it come to pass!
