Speak the Word

Mark 16:18 says, we must lay our hands on the sick and they will recover and John 15:16 also says, whatever we ask the Father do in Jesus Name, He will do it. So in reference to both these scriptures, this means nothing until we act on it and that the scriptures become useless and dormant, until we act on it. It is acting on the Word that builds faith in the believer.

You may have all the promises, you may have the mighty Spirit dwelling in you, but if you do not act on the Word, God is dormant in you. Acting on the Word makes Jesus vitally real to the believer.

See Romans 10:9-10 – It is the Word in your lips that counts. The Word becomes a living thing in the lips of the believer. It brings the unsaved man under conviction, it gives him faith to act on the Word and it causes the believer to “trust in the Lord with his heart” (Proverbs 3:5). Your word becomes God’s Word and your lips become God’s Ambassador. His Word in your mouth, fresh from the love in your heart, burns in the heart of the hearer. Feed on God’s Word. (See Matthew 4:4)
