The Bible says God’s Word is established forever, and it is
law (see 1 Peter 1:25). When God speaks, His words become
law in the world of the spirit. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God” (Matthew 4:4).

The success formulas in the Word of God produce results
when used as directed. Mark 11:23 says, “…whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith.” Here Jesus introduced a principle—a spiritual law—that
works. It doesn’t make sense to the natural mind that with faith
you can have whatever you say even though it may be contrary
to what you can see with your physical eyes, but Jesus said it
and by the eternal Almighty God, it is so! When you act on it,
mix your faith with it, don’t doubt in your heart, this spiritual
law will work for you!

Do you see how this functions? The laws of prosperity
work the same as the laws of salvation, healing and so forth.
We are dealing with the same God, the same Word, the same
Jesus, the same force of faith and the same thief, Satan, who is
trying to steal it away from you! There are many people who
have the world’s idea of salvation, and they will go to hell with
it! It is wrong! Man’s good intentions have nothing to do with
eternal salvation. You can have good intentions to fly, but you
will never get off the ground until you make the proper
arrangements—until you put the proper laws into operation. A
farmer can intend to have a good crop, but if he never plants
the seed, how can he possibly produce a harvest? These laws,
both spiritual and physical, must be followed if you expect to
get results.

The Bible says in Deuteronomy 29:29, “The secret things
belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the
words of this law.” Any law that God has ever revealed to His
saints will never pass away. It will work every time it is put to
work. Anything God taught Abraham or his descendants about
operating financially will work just as well today as it did several
thousand years ago. If you don’t believe it, you’ve never
met a Jew! The formulas still work, and they always will! Every
law God has given us is recorded in His Word, and He sent the
Holy Spirit as our teacher to lead and guide us in these laws
and show us how they operate for one reason—so that we will
put them to work. Each time one of these laws operates, it glorifies
the Almighty God who spoke it and adds one more defeat
to Satan who said it would not work.
