Receiving God's Promises Is To Know God!
Devotions:
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22, 25 KJV
We are to be a doer of the word of God to walk in the blessings of God. That means where the word says that by His (Jesus') stripe we were healed we are to walk in healing and stand on His word until we see healing manifest in our bodies.
To do the word we must understand the word I our hearts not just our heads. We must meditate on the word until we receive revelation of the meaning from the Holy Spirit. Then we will see how to do the word. We ask for wisdom and revelation then we act on the revelation we have and God will give us more.
As we act on the word and we see the faithfulness of God to keep His word we experience God in a more intimate, a more real way. We know God better! As we purpose to use our faith to receive the fullness of our salvation we walk more and more in the fullness of God. This is our hearts cry, to know our creator intimately.
