For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the
glory of God through us.
2 Corinthians 1:20
Unless by faith we take sides with God and appropriate His Word, we
cannot enjoy our relationship, rights and privileges as children of God.
God said you are justified, you are sanctified, you are redeemed. God
said you are blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies; He shall
supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus; He
wished that above all things, you may prosper and be in health as your soul
prospers.
All these tremendous truths of the Word will have no effect in your life
until you take sides with God and say "yes" to them.
It has been well said that there is a three-man committee of which you
are the chairman. One is voting against the victorious life - that one is the
knowledge gained by the five senses and prompted by Satan; another One is
voting for your victorious life - that is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
However, one vote each way is a tie, and the chairman must cast the
deciding vote, and whichever way he votes wins the motion.
So your vote does have value! You, as chairman, can vote on the side of
the five senses - you do this every time you agree with the illusion of lack or
the outward circumstances or the physical pain.
On the other hand, as chairman, you can vote on the side of the Word -
you do this every time you believe, confess and act on the Word.
God's Word is pure and trustworthy. Anytime you side with God, you
become the majority, and Satan has no option but to give in.
Prayer: Father, help me focus on Your infallible Word and take my eyes
off outward circumstances.
