Faith fundamentals IV

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Fourth faith fundamental is to act on your faith. From our theme scripture, we can conclude that if you never work on your faith, then it has never existed in the first place. It's only a wish.

For example if you say you are the healed of the Lord, then act on it. Walk out of that bed and exercise the part that is troubling you. If you believe you have the power to make wealth, then go find a Job or start a business. But if you stay in bed all day "waiting" for a chance to get you, you will wait forever. If you want a wedding, better draft a budget, find out what it takes to have one, go attend other people's weddings to get some lessons you will implement in your wedding. 

In short you cannot afford to do nothing concerning the promises that God gave you in His Word. One mistake some do is attempting to do things in their own strength without first getting a Word regarding that promise. That is like a car running on an empty tank. What will sustain your hopes is what was written. Not will power or some motivation talk from some successful person or one paid to boost you up. Nowadays it's common for people to desire to hear how others have made it so that they draw lessons. 

There's nothing wrong with that only it shouldn't replace the Word. The Word is and should take first place. What promises or scriptures do you know about healing, prosperity, peace, love, forgiveness, serving God, anointing that you are aware of of you desire to walk in those areas? Jumping that important step and running around to have hands laid on you or get motivation talk is of no much help. Like the first fundamental, hear God’s Word concerning your situation. It's part of acting your faith. 

Act on the Word as if it's true.
