CHILDLIKE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORD

CHILDLIKE CONFIDENCE IN THE 

WORD

f r i d a y  8

So shall my word be that goeth forth out 

of my mouth…it shall accomplish that 

which I please, and it shall prosper in the 

thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

The Word of God is trustworthy; it’s living and 

active,  sharper  than  any  two-edged  sword 

(Hebrews 4:12 AMPC). God’s desire for us is to be 

built by the Word; we excel and make progress by the 

Word. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire the 

sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” 

He wants us to accept the Word of God like children. 

Children are trusting. 

Jesus  said,  “…Truly  I  say  to  you,  unless  you…

become  like  little  children  [trusting,  lowly,  loving, 

forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven 

[at  all]”   (Matthew  18:3  AMPC).  Exhibiting  childlike 

confidence in the Word doesn’t make you gullible or 

naïve. Rather, it means you’re smart and functioning 

in the wisdom of God. 

Many make the Word of non-effect in their own 

lives because they argue with the Word; they always 

try  to  rationalize  the  Word.  Children  don’t  try  to 

rationalize things; they simply act from their standpoint 

of innocence, trusting the one who’s leading, guiding 

or instructing them. That’s how we ought to be with 

the Word. 

Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You have made the 

Word  of  God  of  non-effect  through  your  tradition” 

(Mark 7:13). Don’t hold on to religious opinions, beliefs 

and thought-patterns that are contrary to the Word. 

Have a childlike delight and hunger for the Word to 

do what it says. 

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what has 

happened  to  you;  you  can  trust  the  Word  and  use 

it  to  effect  changes  in  your  family,  home,  finances, 

academics, and physical body. If sickness tries to attack 

you, stand firm on the Word. Declare, “I’m healthy and 

strong, because I have the life of God in me.” If it’s 

fear, declare, “I’m more than a conqueror; greater is 

He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world.” 

The Word is dependable. Therefore, be bold to 

speak it forth, and it’ll always prevail.

CONFESSION

The Word of God is working and producing results in 

me! I’m like a tree by the streams; evergreen, bearing 

luscious fruits, because the Word of God is my life 

and sustenance. I live in divine health, supernatural 

abundance, and in continuous victory and prosperity, 

in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
