LIVE BY FAITH AND THE WORD OF GOD

MATTHEW 4:4 (NKJV), ROMANS. 10:17 (KJV, CEV) 2Cor.5:7 (CEV, GNB) But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” *So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. *No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. *But we live by faith, not by what we see. *For our life is a matter of faith, not of sight.

As a child of God, your life comes from the word of God. You are born of the word of God, (1Pet.1:23). Your life is no longer from your flesh and blood. It is the word of God that determines your reality. Our faith comes from God (Rom.12:3) as we hear the gospel of Christ. The gospel of Christ is the power of God that saves, delivers and gives us victory (Rom.1:16).

It is the same way we received Christ that we are supposed to continue to walk or live in Him. “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness,” (Col.2:6-7, NIV). Therefore, just as you received Christ by faith as you heard the revelation of Christ, you must live the rest of your life by the faith that comes from the revelation of Christ. Continue hearing and filling yourself with the revelation of Christ. The revelation of Christ needs to dwell in you richly, (Col.3:16).

Do not live by sight or your senses. Live by the faith of Christ. Live by what God says about you in Christ. Stand for what God says about you until it comes to pass. Your faith is your victory. You have faith and you overcome the world because you are born of God, (1 John 5:4).

FAITH DECLARATION:
I live by the word of God. My reality is determined by the revelation of Christ. All things are possible for me
