The Secret to Making the Word of God Come Alive -
(Stop Just Reading the Bible: Let the Word Become Life)
Are you exhausted from reading the Bible out of religious obligation, only to feel completely spiritually dry afterward?
Do you treat the Scriptures like an ancient history book or a set of moral rules, secretly wondering why you are not experiencing the supernatural power it promises?
Millions of sincere believers are trapped in "intellectual Christianity"-they have the Word in their heads, but it has never taken root in their spirits. It is time to step out of dead religion and let the Word of God literally become life inside of you!
In this chain-breaking, faith-igniting teaching inspired by the spiritual revelations , we dive into the profound spiritual mechanics of: (Stop Just Reading the Bible: Let the Word Become Life).
We understood that the Bible is not just a book to be studied; it is the very breath of God designed to be assimilated into your spirit until it becomes your exact reality.
You will discover the critical difference between reading for information and meditating for revelation, why mental assent* will never produce a miracle, and the practical steps to digest the Word until it becomes flesh in your daily life. *Assent means agreement, approval, or consent. It functions in formal or legal contexts.
Stop trying to outbelieve the devil. I want you to hear that before l say anything else. Stop straining. Stop white knuckling your faith like a man trying to lift a car off the ground.
Because right now somewhere you are believing as hard as you can and still losing. Andg you think the answer is to believe harder. It is not. That is the very reason you keep going down. I am not talking about how loud you can shout. I am not talking about how long you can fast. I am not talking about how much emotion you can squeeze out of your soul before the sun comes up.
I am talking about a seat, a position, a place you already occupy that hell cannot reach, cannot climb to, cannot touch. One found it buried in the scriptures a 100 years ago and the modern church quietly forgot it and the enemy has been feeding on that forgetfulness ever since. Demons do not fear your faith the way you think they do. They do not tremble at the volume.
They tremble at your address. They tremble at where you are seated. And before we are finished today, you are going to know exactly where that is. And you are never going to fight from the floor again. If you need that seat today, if you are tired of fighting from the ground, say one word in confidence , right now. Say the word, seated.
Just that. Let it be your first act of standing on the truth before you even understand all of it. Say it with your mouth. Seated.
Now stay with me because I have to show you the pain before I show you the position.
Right now, there are believers who love God with everything in them. And they are on their knees at in the morning exhausted.
Right now, there is a woman rebuking the same sickness she rebuked last week and the week before that. And she is starting to wonder if something is wrong with her.
Right now, there is a man who has fasted 3 days. Who has cried until he has no more tears, who has quoted every promise he knows, and the fear is still sitting on his chest like a stone. He is cincher. He is desperate. He is sweating in the spirit. And he is still defeated. And do you know what the enemy whispers to that man? He whispers, "You just don't have enough faith." That is the lie. That is the trap.
Because now the sincere believer turns the war inward, he stops fighting the devil and starts fighting himself. Digging through his own heart, looking for the faith he is sure he is missing. And while he digs, he goes down. Hear me.
Your problem was never the power of the devil. Your problem is that you do not yet know how to use the position you were already given.
You have a weapon in your hand and you are using it as a walking stick. You have a throne under you and you are lying face down in front of it, begging for something you are already seated above.
Let me expose a lie that has weakened the church members for generations.
The lie is this, that spiritual warfare is a contest of intensity. That the believer with the most passion wins. That if you can just get loud enough, sweaty enough, emotional enough, you will finally overpower the darkness.
It sounds holy. It feels holy and it is a lie. Because it puts the outcome back on the size of your effort instead of the finished work of your Redeemer.
Look at what Jesus actually said. Luke chapter 10 verse 19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you .
Read that again slowly. Jesus does not say, ' I give you power if you feel powerful.' He does not say, ' over all the power of the enemy on the days your faith is strong'. He says " I give past decision settled grant legal transfer. It is already in your hand. Now here is where one shakes your theology. That the believer does not fight for victory. The believer fights from victory. The average Christian is trying to get to a place that God has already put him in. It is the difference between five sense knowledge and revelation knowledge. And it decides everything.
The man who knows what he is in Christ, who has had it drop out of his head and down into his recreated spirit until it is more real than the sickness in his body. That man is a terror to the powers of darkness. Not because he is loud, because he knows where he sits. And where does he sit? Here is the seat.
Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6. "God hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." That is the whole teaching in one line.
You are not trying to climb to a place of authority. You were seated there. And look one chapter back Ephesians 1, verses 20 and 21 where that same Christ was set at God's own right hand, in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion far above and you are seated in him. Do you see it now? The demon is not above you fighting to keep you down. The demon is below you, illegally squatting on ground. He has no right to.
You are not the underdog clawing upward. You are the heir in Christ looking down. That is your position.
That is the seat in heavenly places that hell cannot reach. And your faith is not the thing that impresses the demon. Your faith is simply the hand that takes hold of the position that is already yours. Anchor this in Luke 10:19 and never let it go.
The authority to tread was given. The seat above all power was granted. The war for the position is over. All that remains is for you to occupy it.
Now, let me show you why the enemy works so hard to keep you off that seat. Because there is a courtroom and most believers do not know they are standing in it.
The Bible calls Satan the accuser. Revelation 12 verse 10 calls him the accuser of our brethren which accuse them before our God day and night. Day and night. He is not mainly a monster with a pitchfork. He is a lawyer. He works by legality, not by power. And when a man has no power, all he has left is accusation.
So he comes into the courtroom of your mind and he files a petition. He says, "Look at what you did last week. Look at your fear. Look at your failure. You are not righteous enough to sit in that seat."
And here is the trap. Every time you agree with that accusation, you rule in his favor. You take yourself off the throne and put yourself back on the floor.
The condemning thought is not just a bad feeling. It is a legal challenge to your position. And silence or agreement is a verdict against yourself. So what do you do? You do what your advocate did in the wilderness.
In Matthew chapter 4, when the devil-accuser came, Jesus did not argue and he did not weep.
Three times Jesus said, "It is written," he answered accusation with evidence, and you have been given the same evidence.
2 Corinthians 10 verse 5 tells you to be casting down imaginations and every high thing that exaltth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. You cast it down. You do not host it. You do not negotiate with it. Stack your rebuttals.
When he says you are guilty, you answer Romans 8 verse 1, there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Case dismissed.
When he says you are the same old failure. You answer 2 Corinthians 5 17; If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. Objection overruled.
When he says, "You have no right to that righteousness." You answer 2 Corinthians 5 21. GOD made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in HIM.
The case is closed. You are not defending a case that might be lost. You are enforcing a verdict already rendered.
And this is where I have to separate two things that look identical and are worlds apart. Mental ascend and covenant authority.
Mental ascent agrees with the Bible. It nods. It says amen in church. It reads Luke 10:19 { I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.}, and says, "Yes, that is beautiful." And then collapses the moment the pressure comes. Covenant authority does not merely agree with the Word. It stands on it as a legal fact.
When everything screams the opposite, mental ascent says, "I know God can heal." Covenant authority says, "By His stripes I was healed." And this symptom is trespassing.
Mental ascent says, "I hope God provides." Covenant authority says,"My God shall supply." And lack has no legal ground here.
Mental ascent says, "I believe I have authority." Covenant authority sits down on the throne and orders the enemy off the property.
Mental ascent is a man who owns a mansion and lives in the yard because he never read the deed. Covenant authority walks in, sits in the chair and says, "This is mine."
That is why believers quote the verse and see no change. They have the vocabulary of the seat with none of the ownership.
They say the words with their mouth while their spirit is still standing on the floor. And the demon is not fooled by vocabulary. He is only moved by a believer who knows where he sits. Which brings us to your mouth because the seat is occupied by voice. This covenant is voice activated.
Proverbs 18 verse 21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, not in the power of the feeling, not in the power of the frown. In the tongue.
Romans 10 verse 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. That word confession is the Greek homologio and I loved it. It means to say the same thing, to say what God says about your case.
Confession is not admitting your weakness. Confession is agreeing out loud with heaven's verdict. And when you agree out loud, something moves.
Psalm 103, verse 20. Bless the Lord. Ye His angels that excel in strength that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His Word. The angels hearken. They listen for the voice of the Word, not the
