Are you spending
time in the Word without any benefit?
|
God says
spending time in the Word ... should benefit you …
This book of
the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
--- Joshua 1:8
... But
...
IF you are reading the Bible just because the Bible
tells you so …
… then you are wasting your time!
IF you are reading the Bible just because of the wonderful
promises in it …
… then you are wasting your time!
Unless you start doing what it says …
For if any
be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way,
and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.
--- James 1:23-25
How do you
become a doer of the Word?
By doing what we are taught in Hebrews 11:6 …
... Meditate or spend time in the Word ...
... then go to God according to His Word ...
... Observing what is written in the Word ...
... and receive from God through His Word!
When … you read in 1 Pet.2:24 ... by Jesus' stripes you are healed
…
Then … you must accept this word as true
and receive it by proclaiming ...
… By Jesus' stripes I AM healed …!
When … you read in Deut.28:1-13 ... your life shall be blessed …
Then … you must accept this as true and
receive it by confessing it over your life!
… I AM blessed coming in and going out, because
God said so …!
When … you read in John 8:36 … whom the son makes free is free
indeed …
Then … you must accept it as true and
receive it by acting free and proclaiming …
… the devil cannot mess in my life anymore
… because Jesus set me FREE …!
There are a multitude of promises and blessings to be found in
the Bible …
But ... don't just read them …
... accept them as true in your life and receive them by acting
on them!
be not a
forgetful hearer, but a doer
of the work,--- James 1:23-25
…
Then you shall be blessed in your deeds … and not waste your
time…!
