God has made provision for the Body of Christ to walk in light. We have to know what that light is. The Word of God is the fuel for our light to get brighter, even in the midst of a world that is getting darker. Proverbs 20:26 says the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. This is how God works.
It all hinges on the image you have of yourself. Get the image from how God sees you – as a new creature. The old image has passed away. Image got started at the very beginning when God made man in His image and likeness. Words paint pictures, and God's Word paints pictures. They are spiritual images.
God's promises are in the Word and need to be transferred from the page into your heart. How does this happen? Speaking the Word gets it into your mouth. From there it gets into your heart. From the heart it starts creating images. Once the image is in our heart, we have to release it out of our mouth.
That completes it and it starts to affect the natural. Something happens to the Word in your heart. It gets connected to your belief system and you start believing it. Faith is then released when you speak that Word out of our mouth.
In the spirit realm things work differently than in the natural realm. Learn to trust your spirit and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works with your spirit. The Holy Spirit is communicating with your spirit continually. Determining between your natural mind and your spirit is key, because God uses your spirit for revelation.
The Word entering our spirit gives light. So get more Word for more light. The Holy Spirit helps us find what we need for any situation in the Word of God. Praying in tongues helps with this. It is the avenue the Holy Spirit uses to search for answers that we need.
Faith is now. Never push the promises of God into the future. Regardless of what it feels like or looks like, believe God and His Word. If it isn't “now faith” it's something else. It's faith that God receives. Release His Word out of your mouth as positive, present truths, with conviction. God is not a man that He should lie and His Word never fails.
