Fulfillment of the Word



Psalms 40:8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands forever.

 God’s Word is being fulfilled even now. Only those with faith know that God’s Word is being fulfilled; it absolutely is fulfilled even though others may not believe in it. This is very important. World evangelization is happening right now. Then how can we receive the answer of Word fulfillment?





1. Three rhythms
  If you want your life to be compatible with the Word you must have three rhythms. First, you must share a rhythm with God. If you have a ‘prayer rhythm’ with God, you will see the Word being fulfilled. If you do everything within this rhythm you will definitely receive answers. On the other hand, if you lack this rhythm you will face hardships. Second, you must have a rhythm with people. Most people don’t have a sense of objectivity. That is why they fail in interpersonal relationships. Third, you must have your own rhythm. God gave His Word to the individual people, which is why it is important for us to have structure in our lives.





2. The characteristics and application of the Word
 It is an absolute fact that God’s Word was inspired by the Holy Spirit, so we must understand the background of the time period in which the Word was recorded. We do this in order to know the facts. But knowing this background is not enough. God’s Word is being fulfilled even now, and the Holy Spirit is at work. This is the characteristic of the Word. The Word is fulfilled by the work of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit works according to the Word. When we experience this, great answers will come. When we apply God’s Word, we need to have a correct conception of faith. The ultimate goal of our faith is the Gospel. More important is to have a correct understanding of theology. The ultimate goal of theology is evangelism. More important than the application of the Word is correct judgment. This is so we can be in line with God’s time schedule.





3. Resolution in the Word
 When we make resolutions, we must make them with clear evidence in hand. In other words, we must hold onto the objectivity of the Word. We must make resolutions, both big and small, within this objectivity. We’re not just speaking empty words like those who emphasize action or legalists, but we know what we should do when we truly hold onto God’s Word. We make resolutions and then put them into practice. Those who start with the small things have understood the Word correctly.
