KEY SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:24 KJV “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.”

In our previous study, we established that God’s word kept in our heart is what would germinate into our miracle. Mark 4:28 KJV” For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” This verse explains the natural way that seed sown in the earth passes through unto fruition. All truth is parallel. As it happens in nature, so does it occur in the Spirit. Once again, the important part is to keep the seed or word firmly planted in your heart. In the parable of the Sower, the Lord taught that the heart or ground that bore fruits had to keep the word within. Luke 8:15 KJV” But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.”

Now, how do we keep the word in our hearts? The scriptures teach us how this can be done. Jas 1:25 KJV” 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 the apostle teaches that the man who receives the word and continuously looks into the word, and does not forget what it says, but does what the word says, this man shall be blessed. The book of Proverbs has a similar rendering for us. Pro 4:20-22KJV “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”

In the last scriptural passage, the word shows us the step-by-step approach to making the word to become life or medicine to all our flesh.

It says give time for the word.

Incline your ear to the word. That is listen attentively as you read, also submit, accept, or believe what it says.

The next step is to keep it in your heart by not allowing your eyes to look away from it. If you approach it this way, it would indeed become life unto you.

Please listen to the following assuring words of God. Isa 55:11 KJV “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”The Lord says, so long as you are faithful to keep the word in your heart and to believe by doing what it says, then the word will surely prosper or do whatever it promised.

CONFESSION

God’s word is my seed for life with the ability to do whatever it has promised. I diligently attend to it, trusting and doing what it says. In this way, I receive my answer as God has promised.
