Manifesting God's Promises
In Numbers 23, the Bible shows us that God is unwavering in His promises—He does not lie nor change His mind. His word is guaranteed to come to pass. What an amazing promise we have today to stand on! God is faithful and He will do what He said He will do!
There are 4 steps to seeing God’s promise come to pass in your life.
1. Hear the Promise: The first step is hearing the promise! I know it sounds simple but without the entrance of His word, there is no light for the path you are seeking. His word produces Faith for he impossible promise. the Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So, if you feel your faith level is low it is time for an infusion of the word in your life! The word raises your faith level to a place of expectation for what God is about to do in your life.
2. Meditate on the Promise: The second step to the delivery of the promise is meditation on the right things in your life. Right thinking brings right living and right living produces breakthrough. You’re one thought pattern away from seeing the breakthrough in your life. Take a mental inventory of what is taking place in your mind today. What percentage of your thoughts today have been negative or rooted in just surviving? You need to uproot and eradicate every doubt that is trying to kill your dream! At my house recently there is a flower garden that had a few weeds in it. I just let it go thinking, “It’s not a big deal and I will get to it one day.” What started as a few weeds is now a weed garden; I can’t even see the flowers from the weeds! What weeds or negative thoughts should you be dealing with and uprooting immediately? If you fail to deal with those today you will have a weed garden of doubt in your mind. What you meditate on today will be what you manifest tomorrow! See it with your eyes of faith, your inner eyes, your imagination! Once you see it internally you will begin to expect it externally!
3. Speak the Promise: The third step is to begin to say it! That’s right, speak to the things that aren’t happening as though they already are! That is what God does! (See Romans 4). Jesus showed us that the highest form of faith is a speaking faith. In Matthew 8 Jesus meets a Centurion man who tells Jesus there was no need to come to the house to heal his servant but that Jesus only needed to speak a word. Jesus sent the word and healed the man. Jesus then went on to say I have not seen such "great faith" like this in all of Israel! When God wanted to create the universe, He didn’t use His Hands, He used His mouth and spoke. You need to begin to speak to your promise and destiny and call it forth!!
4. Take action on the Promise: The fourth and final step for you to take is to take action! Find a point of contact for your faith to be acted out. Every miracle was motion-activated in the Bible. What does that action step look like in your own life? If you are believing for a new job, then send out a resume. If you are believing God for a family member to be saved, then reach out to them. If you are believing God for a child, well then get to work, (lol). I think you get what I am saying here. Faith without works is dead. Show God your faith today by your works of obedience. Take bold action steps of faith and watch God do the rest!
