Put Pressure on the Word
Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
“Mary” is one of the most amazing women I know. About 15 months ago, a friend brought her to our church. She was over 50 years old, addicted to drugs, and desperate. The house she was living in had just burned down, destroying everything she owned. She had no car, no clothes, and no money. She hadn’t been able to find a job due to a felony conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia—a charge she had accepted to protect her boyfriend (who later ended up in prison on another charge).
The friend who brought Mary to church stopped coming after a few weeks, but Mary refused to give up. She came to church every time the doors were open (which at that time was every night of the week). She always sat in the front row, singing with all her heart and shouting “Amen!” “Hallelujah!” and “Praise You, Lord!” throughout each service. Seeing her sincere devotion to God, the pastor hired her to clean the church. She tithed on every penny she earned, and one day a church member gave her a car. When she heard there was a job opening at a Christian bookstore, she prayed for God’s favor and they hired her, in spite of her criminal record. Her boss and co-workers love her so much that they told her they wish they could hire three more just like her.
Mary glows with love for Jesus like no one I’ve ever met. She says the ONE THING that made the greatest difference in her life was when Pastor Amy taught, “Put PRESSURE on the Word.” “Pressure” means: never stop reading the word, believing the word, praying the word, and speaking the word. That’s how Mary lives. You can’t be with her for two minutes without the word of God coming out of her mouth. And God’s word cannot fail—it always accomplishes what God intended.
Mary isn’t the wealthiest woman I know by worldly standards—but she is one of the happiest. God has completely transformed her personality and her circumstances, just through the power of His word. Her every need is met because she looks to God as her Source.
Would you like to see a transformation in your personality or circumstances? Put a little extra “pressure” on the word and see what happens.
