1 John 1:1
¹That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life.
God’s intent is for you to see His consolations, you not only hear it but see it. What is it that God has said to You!, what is it that God has written about You! He has said: You are the head and not the tail, You are a crown of glory in His hand, You are His signet ring.
God has not been silent, in the same respect, name it, quote it, manifest it. God’s word is not just hear and say, it breaks forth, it is spirit, and it brings forth abundance in all areas of life. When we fully embrace and live out these truths, we will experience His consolation and see it at work in our lives.
John 6:63
⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
You don’t just hear about Christ and His greatness and mighty works but witness them and experience it. Scripture says:
1 Corinthians 2:9
⁹But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
Logic can’t perceive what God can do , will do and has done. It is through faith that we can begin to grasp the infinite possibilities and mysteries of God’s will in action.
John bears witness to not only hearing, but also seeing and touching the Word of Life. He witnessed the ancient prophecies about Christ coming to pass before his eyes, as he heard, saw, and touched Him. The Word became alive as the blind could see and the lame could walk, just as it was foretold in ancient times.
Luke 2:25-26
²⁵And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. ²⁶And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
And it was revealed unto Him that He shouldn’t see death before He had seen the Lord’s Christ:
There are certain things about you that God has written and intends for them to be, Simeon never saw death until what God had intended for Him to see was established, surely as scripture has said; His word is never void. The power and truth of His word is undeniable. It is not mere empty rhetoric or vague whispers, but a steadfast and unwavering promise. Once you have heard and received His word, it is bound to manifest and come to fruition. Trust in its certainty and let it guide your path.
Genesis 24:1
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest.
Abraham lived to see God’s word come to fulfilment in Isaac, the promised son and He tasted the goodness of God, it wasn’t just said that Abraham is blessed, it was heard and seen, looked upon and handled!!
Solomons own life testifies of God’s word fulfilled, word promised of a great lineage sustained. We know God confirms David’s very words as Solomon was established as heir to the Davidic throne and one that built the temple, house of God. (2 Kings 1:28-36)
1 Kings 8:20
And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Are You aware that God’s word is not hearsay? You will live to see it, look upon it and handle it.
Prophetic Utterance:
“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!”
I have a destiny in Christ Jesus, my future is secured, thank You for Your steadfast and unwavering promises Lord Jesus.
I win as a lifestyle .
