Faith in God’s Word
by Norvel Hayes
I know of no better way to kick off a meeting—this Believers’ Convention—than to teach you to have faith in God’s Word. Why? Because that’s the No. 1 way to fight the devil!
If I can talk you into having faith in God’s Word, you can have victory. It doesn’t make any difference what anyone else believes, what your background is or where you’re from. If you’ll just make a decision to stand on the Scriptures for yourself, God will come to your house. He’ll come to your body. He’ll come to your mind. He’ll come to your business. He’ll come to anything you have and He will make it successful, if you will only get your mouth straightened out!
God’s Word will work for every person who has faith in it!
Many people think God will come on their scene just because they are born again. Although He’s always on the scene, the truth is, He only responds to faith in His Word coming out of your mouth. You’ve got to KNOW what God has said in His Word about the area of your life where you need victory. What’s more, you’ve got to SPEAK what His Word says about it.
Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Jesus went on to say in verse 37, “By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
By your words!
Victory Scriptures
Your victory comes directly from the Word of God that you have in abundance in your heart and the Word you speak out your mouth! So the key is to get the Word into your heart.
You may say, “Brother Norvel, how about telling me what the victory scriptures are for my situation.”
There could be a hundred scriptures that would apply to your circumstance. Don’t be lazy—look them up yourself! You see, the only scriptures that will work for you are the ones you “get.” You can ask the Holy Spirit to help you find the right scriptures. But you won’t get them just by reading the Bible every once in a while. Your victory scriptures must be in your heart abundantly. They must become a part of you.
