KNOWLEDGE IS KEY TO ACTIVATE THE POWER OF GODS WORD
Spiritual truths are activated by knowledge. The scriptures says
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32)
Many Christians around the World don't have the Power of God's Word working in their live, they are still yet to discover their inheritance in Christ Jesus because they are ignorant of it. John 8:32 says And ye shall know the truth..... Truth is reality, most Christians don't know the truth because they haven't studied the Word Of God for themselves.
As you study the Word of God and Meditate, not only will you discover your inheritance in Christ, you'll also receive the faith to relate and enjoy all that God has made available for you in Christ Jesus. The Word Of God has the ability to make you a success, make you victorious and keep you in health.

St. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The Holy Ghost is your competitive advantage. He will teach all things and make the Word much easier thereby also making the power of the Word manifest in your live. The Word is able to change your life and to change you completely from failure to a success. However, you must know the Word for yourself.Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Psalms 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

If you don't know the Word, you cannot work the Word. Study the Word for yourself today and start living the life God has pre -ordained for you to live. Once you get the Word, acknowledge it and affirm it. Philemon 1:6 KJV: That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
This activates the power of the Word. Declaring it.
God doesn't guarantee us prosperity, health, or wealth.

(1 Timothy 5:23 NIV) Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
(Galatians 6:11 NIV) See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
(2 Corinthians 11:23-28 NIV) Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. {24} Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. {25} Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, {26} I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. {27} I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. {28} Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.
What about the Macedonian churches?
(2 Corinthians 8:1-2 NIV) And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. {2} Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
