There may be some who read God’s word, can quote scripture, and know all the church lingo, but have no power. They have no power because they don’t truly believe what they’re reading or quoting. They say the right things in the four walls of the church or when they’re around their church friends, but when the pressure comes, they fear, fold, and get frustrated. This shouldn’t be.

Our lives should reflect God’s word. There’s no way we should be saying, “God has not given us the spirit of fear” and “He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways,” but afraid to get on a cruise, afraid of going to that country, or afraid of to be in this neighborhood. Either we believe God’s word of protection or we don’t. 

We all are growing in being fully persuaded of God’s word, but let’s not be pretenders acting as if God’s word is truly down in us, when in reality it’s not. Let’s not act like we’re so deep and spiritual, but when demonic activity happens, we run the other way.

Let’s get to a place where we actually believe what God’s word says about us. Let’s believe in what He promised us. Let’s believe God’s word regardless of what we experience.
