Ezekiel 3:10 Moreover, He said to me, “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words which I will speak to you and hear with your ears (listen closely).

People are quick to quote “Faith comes by hearing the Word of God,” but as we can see, hearing is not enough. We have to receive the Word of God into our hearts.

How do we receive the Word of God? We continuously meditate on the Word until it becomes as real as the facts we know today (Joshua 1:8). It’s a fact that if we stand on a standard ladder it will hold our weight and allow us to reach higher levels. It’s a fact that if we jump into a pool, we’ll get wet.

The same way we believe and receive natural facts, is the same way we should believe and receive spiritual truths. Eventually, we’ll confidently confess we’re healed regardless of the symptoms displayed (Isaiah 53:5). We’ll boldly state that all of our needs are met in spite of the lack we currently see (Philippians 4:19). We are quickly comforted and at peace after being recently hurt by someone because God comforts us (2 Corinthians 1:4).

We can be confident in God’s Word because we’ve heard His Word and received it into our hearts. Receive the truth in God’s Word.
