As we are beginning 2026, we need to get back to basics. Most Christians know it but from time to time we need to be reminded of certain biblical principles.
This most basic one is not forgetting to put the Word of God to work in your life …daily.
“What happens to so many Christians is they pray a scripture over a problem... then they leave it alone…eventually giving up when nothing happens. I feel the Holy Spirit showed me how to continually put pressure on that scripture expecting it to perform as God said it would...
Get mad at the devil... and REFUSE to let him have his way...why should he win? He likes to make you think "you're the one doing something wrong" but if you KNOW the Word works... you can literally force the enemy or circumstances to step aside! He has to obey you!!
We were prompted to write seven ways to put the Word to work in your life on a daily basis.
1. Quit doing what you’ve been doing if it’s not working.
Judges 6:1 in the New International Version says:
“Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.”
Again. . .the Israelites were doing the same thing over and over again.
Since God would forgive them. . .they would sin again. God would forgive them again . . . and they would sin again.
Your problem may not be sinning. . .but you may be doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Are you trying to solve your problems…or are you asking God what you need from His Word that can deal with them?
The children of Israel were living in the land flowing with milk and honey. . .the Promised Land. It’s the land God promised the children of Israel and the land Joshua led them into. However, they were living in less than His best because they were not following His instructions.
Judges 6:2 in the New International Version says:
