God breathed His life into us through Jesus. His life is abundant and unlimited. He lives in us, who are new creations in Him. Do you hear Him? Do you believe Him? He lives inside of you. He doesn’t limit us. It is we who limit Him by limiting our faith in Him. We have rivers of living water ready to flow out of us (John 7:38). If you lost everything in this world, you still have the abundance of Jesus just waiting to flow out of you (John 10:10). You have the ability to draw upon the abundant life Jesus has placed in you. But how?
1. You can “hear” God.
Throughout the Bible, we are repeatedly told to “hear” the Word of the Lord. You can hear God speak to you. God will never ask you to do something you aren’t capable of doing.
Hearing God speak to you is one of your most important gifts. Nothing is more vital than hearing God speak His Word to you. You are His sheep, and you know His voice (John 10:4). God is always speaking, but you must be still and listen. You must desire and seek Him. Your Father created you to hear Him.
Faith comes from hearing Him, and hearing Him is the source of faith (Romans 10:17). Healing comes from hearing God’s truth in your heart. Direction, guidance, and warnings in life come from hearing Him. When you aren’t hearing God regularly, you live a fearful, confused, and defeated life. When you hear God, the words He speaks to you are spirit and life (John 6:63). You bow to His truth. You exalt His Word above any doubt or unbelief. You are still before Him, and you “know” He is your God (Psalms 46:10). You experience His peace, joy, and victory. You know He is King over everything in your life. He has blessed you for eternity. Praise cannot be contained when you “hear” the words of His mouth in your heart.
“All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord when they hear the words of Your mouth” (Psalms 138:2).
2. You can “see” God’s will.
“While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Hearing God gives birth to “seeing.” You can “see” healing, provision, and victory in the Spirit. The ability to spiritually “see” is in you, but first, you must “hear” God. Hearing stimulates vision. You see what you hear. If someone asks me to go shopping, their words instantly create a vision. I have an image in my mind of going with them to the store. God’s Kingdom works in the same way. He constantly speaks His Word, and when you finally “hear” Him, you have a mental picture of what He has told you.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
God “sees” all the possibilities but is limited to what you “see.” God “saw” all the possibilities when Jesus ministered through faith, but Jesus could only do what He “heard” and “saw” from His Father (John 5:19).
3. You can “speak” God’s words.
The exact words God spoke to create and sustain His creation can be “heard,” “seen,” and "spoken." His words are rivers of living water available and ready to flow out of you. We weren’t created like animals. We were created in His image and can speak His words. Just as God spoke His creation into existence, His spoken Word speaks His truth into existence.
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23).
Jesus has given you His authority over all the enemy's power (Luke 10:19). You can “speak” the all-powerful truth of God’s Word into your need. When you “speak” by faith what God has spoken and revealed to you, you draw out of the abundance of Jesus in your heart. You have surrendered any doubt and unbelief to your Father. You believe Him. His Word is your Word. He is your truth. You can hear, see, and speak Him. Out of the good treasure of your heart, you bring forth good things (Luke 6:45).
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer” (Psalms 19:14).
Lord Jesus, I desire, above all else, for my life to be acceptable in your sight. Let me honor you by meditating on your words and speaking them. You are my Redeemer and my strength. I will open my mouth and speak out of the abundance you have placed in my heart.
