The Mirror Principle Of God's Word

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:25).

Some Christians have difficulty believing and acting according to God's Word because they think God reasons like a man. God is not like man; we're the ones called to be like Him; to live and act like Him. "How is that possible?" You may ask, well God has made this possible through the mirror principle of the Word.

The opening scripture reference typifies the Word of God as the mirror of God. The Bible says anyone who hears the Word of God and does not do it, is like a man who sees himself in a mirror, turns around and forgets what he looks like (James 1:23-24). In other words, God expects you to hear His Word and do what it says. But the problem is many don't know how to do the Word of God.

Now, the mirror principle of the Word is that you see yourself as what God sees you to be in His Word, and then act accordingly. It simply means acting the Word. How easy it is to do the Word of God! For instance, in the Word, the mirror of God, He says, you're a new creation in Christ Jesus. That is God's image and reflection of you. See that image and endorse it. Act like it's true; for it's indeed true. Again He shows you in the Word you're righteousness of God-see it so. That's His image of you.

Seeing yourself in the Word-the mirror of God and acting accordingly is the way to live in the reality of your inheritance in Christ. That's how to enjoy all that God has made available to you in Christ Jesus. I urge you today, keep look into the mirror of God; keep studying and listening to the Word of God. As you do, you'll be transfigured to become more and more like the glory you see in the Word. This is the mirror principle of the Word.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you because your Word is my life, therefore it's natural for me to live in and by the Word. Today, your Word is working mightily and producing results in me because I'm empowered to do what it says, therefore my profiting through the Word is manifest unto all, In Jesus' Name. Amen.
