What Is A Word Person

In the next few weeks we will study from the Word of God and determine how we can successfully resist the Devil in our lives through steps of faith and obedience and through choices of integrity as well as by fellowshipping with him by prayer and openness to His Holy Spirit.

Many times we just start speaking to the problem, or speaking about the problem, but without knowledge of what is going on. We do not have a true picture, because we don’t know what the problems really is. We know what the symptoms are, but not what the root of the problem is. We need to do the following:

A. Seek or abide in the Lord and His knowledge and wisdom first. Col. 2:3, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.” John 15:7
We can readily see that abiding in Christ, that is by having a constant fellowship with him, the Holy Spirit of God and the Father of Lights, that there is a real and genuine wisdom and knowledge that come from just 'staying close to him'. If we then ask, when we need to have certain knowledge revealed to us, that he is able and willing to give it to us in abundance.
B. By Acting on what we learn from the knowledge. 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.”

We can see by the above scriptures that we must do something with what we hear from the Lord. This is where most of us fail if we are not careful. We believe that knowing the Word of God and doing it are almost the same thing, but it is clearly pointed out here that those who hear or say they believe the Word of God and those who do it are in two different classes of people. One of them is blessed and the other one is deceived. I have been both at times, and I know that if you are honest, you will probably say the same thing. However, even being honest is not the answer here, but being a doer of the Word of God.
