So often, we forget that God’s Word covers everything that we could possibly need or want. Yes, even in 2016, God’s Word is still relevant and able to affect change in our lives. We can choose to believe what God has said…or not. He has given us the freedom to choose.
I recently read a passage from the Believers Voice of Victory Magazine that drives this point home:
“No matter what kind of situation we are facing, no matter how terrible, dangerous, and confusing it appears to be, God’s Word covers it, sees through it, and reveals the answer to its defeat. The living Word of God will penetrate the darkest difficulties and shed light on the most impossible situations.” ~Kenneth Copeland
God’s Word Covers It!
If you’re involved in a struggle or facing an impending challenge, rest in knowing that God’s Word covers it. It’s up to you to find what He has said about it and then stand on it until you see it manifested. Ask Him, ” Lord, what is it that I still need to see in Your Word that will bring me victory?” God will always gladly answer this question!
I remember hearing Dr. Bill Winston say that he found his ministry airplane in the Word. That got my attention! There were no airplanes 2000+ years ago when the Bible was written; how could it be in the Word? But he had prayed asking God to show him how to pray to meet the needs of his fast-growing ministry which was requiring an inordinate amount of travel for him to preach. Some time later, a preacher from Africa was speaking at Dr. Winston’s church and in the middle of his sermon, stopped, turn around, looked at Dr. Winston and said, “Your airplane is in Ecclesiastes 10:20” and then turned back around and went right on preaching. Of course, Dr. Winston feverishly flipped through his Bible to find that passage and there it was…his airplane:
“for a bird of the air shall carry the voice”
Don’t tell me that Scripture isn’t applicable in 2016 (and beyond)!
No matter what you’re facing today, rest in knowing that God’s Word covers it. Your solution is embedded inside the Bible. It’s up to you to choose to discover it and the use it as a tool that will manifest the victorious life that God intended for you to live.
After all, He wants you to LIVE TO WIN!
Will you take time today to find a Scripture that addresses your need/challenge?
Hi Evangeline, love this post that you wrote, I`m in great need of knowing that God`s word covers it!
I was so sure, and felt impressed by the Lord, that this would be my month that infertility was over. An I was so wrong, it makes you question everything else as well.
I guess my desert walk is not over, and I am so tired 🙂 I know God`s word is over my circumstances, but it is so hard to hold on to hope when this impacts your every day so much, and the longer it takes, the harder it is to hold on. I really think i know all the scriptures regarding fertility, and understand the finished work of the cross, yet this is so hard. It really is a trust issue, the trust diminishes with every passing month at only disappointment is at hand.
I hope my wait will be over before 2017, a year of rest from heartache would be great!
Elisabeth, I know this walk through barrenness has been extremely tough for you. I want to encourage you to delve a little more deeply into what you called your “trust issue”. The Word says that you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. Allow those scriptures about fertility to really minister to you, to comfort you, to reassure you so that they become YOUR truth and build your trust.
May I make a suggestion? In your comment, you stated some things about the Lord and His Word and then said “but…” followed by a negative circumstance/perspective. Decide to reverse that and state the negative and THEN say “but God’s Word says…” Check out my post on the “Holy But” to see what this really does for your outlook and level of trust. Here’s the link: https://www.makeroomformommy.com/the-holy-but/
I want to share a Scripture with you. It’s from Psalm 62:1-2. I’ve combined various translations of it to really drive the point home about RESTING in Christ:
“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. I find rest [wait quietly] in God; only he can save me and give me victory. He is my rock. He IS and my salvation. He IS my victory. He is my defender [fortress];
I will not be defeated or shaken. God, the one and only— I’ll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not? He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, an impregnable castle: I’m set for life.”
So glad that you continue to stay in touch. Blessings to you!
