But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14).
When you were a child, you didn’t immediately start walking the moment you were born. Your bones and muscles hadn’t yet developed. No one would have tried to make you stand on your tiny limbs that couldn’t yet carry your weight. But as you grew stronger, your parents began to help you sit up, and soon enough, you could sit on your own.
Before long, you started creeping, and eventually could stand unaided. Then you began learning to walk. And even when you stumbled and fell while attempting to walk, you were aided and supported until you could walk perfectly, and today you walk without even thinking about it.
That’s also how spiritual growth works. Don’t say, “If I were truly a child of God, how come sometimes things don’t work out as I desire? Your identity isn’t in question; you’re a child of God, alright. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16). Therefore, it’s about your training, not your identity.
You’ve got to be trained in righteousness and in the ways of the Kingdom. You must exercise yourself in the Word. You must practice the Word. The Christian life is one of practise. We’re Word practitioners. You practice love. You practice faith. You practice your divine authority. You practice joy, peace, and dominion until you live them effortlessly.
Practising the Word is doing the Word: James 1:22-25, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” So, keep training yourself. Keep putting the Word to work. Keep practising who you are, and as a result, walking in victory, prosperity, health and wisdom will be as natural to you as breathing. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for training me through your Word and by your Spirit in the way of righteousness. I walk in your truth and function from the Kingdom’s perspective. My faith is strengthened, my understanding deepened, and I live every day in mastery and victory because I live in and by your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
