Word Works For Those Who Believe

Hebrews 4:1-3

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Promise of Rest

4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them,^[a] not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. ³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’”^[b]

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Many people have tried to prove the bible worthless by randomly taking something from the bible such as praying and receiving, and fail at it therefore thinking that the bible is useless.

Contrary to popular belief, not everybody has the authority that it takes to speak things into existence. The word of God doesn’t work for everyone, aside from His love, forgiveness and praying to accept Him into your hearts.

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t some difficult exclusive club that you have to past tests in order to join-it’s just FAITH!

Never has the Lord turned away anyone who has come to Him in prayer asking Him to come into their hearts. This is what brings joy to His heart! The more the merrier! Not one person was meant to follow anyone or anything else except Him, so this is why He made it so easy to come to Him, without having a litany of prerequisites.

Don’t be fooled by the unbelievers claiming that there are inconsistencies in the Word of God. Think of it this way, would you trust the word or even habits of a mechanic on how to play the stock market?  Or trust a real estate broker to inform you on how a train functions?

So don’t be quick to rely on the “experiences” or advice from unqualified sources. A qualified source would be someone who has been in the word for an extensive period, has maintained their faith in Christ, and has continuously bare good fruit (are good people who actively operate in love, patience, kindness, and so forth as well as live in the blessings of the Lord and are able to help others). So far this excludes most if not ALL of those out there trying to use the bible as something silly, fun or a way to discredit it, because they don’t know how to work the word.
