**************************************
Spiritually, much the same thing happens when you feed on The WORD of God. First you take a bite of it, so to speak, by reading it or hearing it preached. Then you chew (or meditate) on it, and ultimately you swallow (or believe) it. In this way, you mix The WORD with the force of faith that’s already been deposited in your spirit. As a result, spiritual strength is produced.
It doesn’t matter if you were raised going to Believers’ Conventions and you’ve heard about faith since you were a little child, you have to continually feed your faith for it to work. A low WORD level makes faith feeble; and feeble faith has trouble believing.
This is where a lot of believers make a mistake. They let their WORD level slip. They start eating the wrong kind of spiritual food. Instead of mixing their faith with God’s WORD, they mix it with something else. They get their attention on money, for example, and start thinking, If I could just get enough money, it would change my life. Or they put their faith in people and think, They’re going to fix this problem for me.
That kind of thinking falls flat. It doesn’t really change things because it’s based on the wrong stuff. Money is a bad god. People are a bad god. They don’t have the power to do what God can do.
Only He can “supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Only He can guarantee that when you seek Him first, and His righteousness, “all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). That’s why His WORD is the only thing that will activate your faith.
