A doer of the Word – daring to believe





Jas 1:21 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. [/SIZE]
Jas 1:23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:




This is not about our efforts, it is indeed about faith in our God as no man is now nor has ever been capable of living up to the standard of God’s Word on his own. As the Holy Spirit of God gives revelation in the Word one must grasp that Word of God by faith and walk it out step by step believing. It is only when we completely trust Christ that we will see His Word as a reality in our lives.

Who does the Word of God declare you are O son (or daughter) of God?


If you cry out is His power there to deliver you?


If His Word says you can move the mountains in your life and the lives of others is it a Word we can trust, walk out and build our lives on?




Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.


2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.




You have been given the Word, you have been given a measure of faith and indeed you have been given everything that you require to walk this walk. In your mind what do you lack to see it come to pass?
The key to this situation is not to wait until you see these things come to pass. Indeed you are to step out in faith believing God for the impossible. With God all things are possible and His Word is ever true.
Consider this an exhortation- don’t wait but step out in faith now lest the cares of this world blind you to who and what you really are.
So be led of the Spirit, walk in the truth of the Word in His Power, be that doer of the Word.

"Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls."

Faith in God requires humility...the proud man/woman thinks that something good in themselves...(besides the Word)...will ultimately result in the 'hand-up' for ourselves...and others...

1Pe 5:6 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

hmm....but we are so smart we dont really need a Savior do we...

I mean we can surely figure out ways to say it just right, act just right, work it just right...we`ll save ourselves and everybody else!

Isnt this the echoing mindset of the masses? The evidence shouts it loud and clear...

But there`s another voice that can be heard above the din ...this voice is saying...

'Not by mans (Gods talking to YOU and ME) brawn or brains, but by MY Power!"

If the earth is a cliff...and we are ALL hanging off the side of it...and we have`nt even got a rope ...or a hope......how in the world is all our smart thinkin` and maneuvering going to get us, or our fellowman anywheres?


Zec 4:6 Then the LORD said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.


1Co 2:4 My message and my preaching were not accompanied by clever words of wisdom, but by a display of the Spirit's power, so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power.

When are we going to admit we are helpless, and simply accept the implanted Word, (there`s the mighty hand of God) and let Him have the credit of lifting us off this cliff...and into His kingdom.

That CHRIST might be ALL, and ALL the GLORY HIS alone!

Excellent post. May God give us thousands who are willing to launch out and believe His exceeding great and precious promises.

WARNING: Believiing said promises can be hazardous to your flesh.
