God’s Focus Is His Word In Your Spirit
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” — 2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
When we come before God in prayer, lifting up our petitions and desires, it’s easy to assume His primary concern is to shower us with material blessings—a new home, a better car, financial breakthrough, or other earthly comforts. But beloved, God’s heart transcends these temporal things. His supreme desire is not merely to fill our hands with goods, but to fill our spirits with His living Word. This divine priority transforms our perspective from chasing after things to embracing the inexhaustible riches already deposited within us through His promises.
As we grow in the knowledge of who God is and what He has declared, we discover that every longing of our heart—every need, every desire—finds its complete fulfillment in the implanted Word abiding within us.
Consider the apostle Peter’s revelation:
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” — 2 Peter 1:3 (KJV)
This is a staggering truth! All things—yes, all things—that pertain to life and godliness have already been granted to us. Not will be given, not might be given if we pray hard enough, but have been given. The key that unlocks this divine storehouse? The knowledge of Him—an intimate, experiential knowing rooted in His Word. When this revelation takes root in our hearts, it revolutionizes our prayer life, our thinking, and our daily walk. Prayer ceases to be a desperate plea for “things” and becomes a sacred communion with the One who has already supplied all. Our focus shifts from begging to abiding, from seeking provision to celebrating the Provider.
Living Free From the Consciousness of Lack
Imagine walking as Jesus walked—completely unshackled from the nagging sense of “not enough.” Our Lord never worried about His next meal, though He fed thousands with five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14:19-21). He didn’t fret over having no permanent home, though He declared, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.” (Matthew 8:20, KJV). He lived in perfect union with the Father, utterly confident that every need would be met through divine connection.
How? Because He carried the Word of God in His spirit. That Word was His sustenance, His strength, His supply. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4, KJV).
What if we could live this way? What if we could cast off the heavy yoke of anxiety, the tormenting fear of scarcity, and step into the glorious liberty of divine sufficiency? The Scripture assures us this is not some far-off dream but our present-day reality:
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” — 1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)
This “fellowship” (koinonia in the Greek) is no casual relationship—it is a sacred partnership, a shared life with Christ Himself. If we are united with the One who owns “the cattle upon a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10, KJV) and who upholds “all things by the word of his power” (Hebrews 1:3, KJV), what could we possibly lack? The answer is nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Yet many struggle to experience this reality. We look at our bank accounts, our circumstances, our unmet desires, and wonder, “Where is this abundance?” The disconnect lies not in God’s provision but in our perception. The treasure is already ours—we must simply learn to access it. And the access point is the Word of God dwelling richly within us.
The Treasure Within: The Word as Your Source
Jesus declared, “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things…” (Matthew 12:35, KJV). What is this treasure? Paul reveals: “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7, KJV). The treasure is the living Word of God—the same creative force that spoke worlds into existence (Genesis 1:3; Hebrews 4:12). When this Word takes root in your heart, it becomes a wellspring of life, producing whatever you need.
Need provision? It’s in the Word.
Need healing? It’s in the Word.
Need peace, direction, or breakthrough? All flow from the indwelling treasure of Scripture.
Consider this: The same God who commanded, “Let there be light,” has placed His Word inside you. That Word is not dormant—it is dynamic, powerful, and productive. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11, KJV).
When you saturate your spirit with Scripture—when you meditate on it, confess it, and let it renew your mind—it begins to work in you and through you. It creates. It manifests. It brings forth what you once thought you had to beg for.
This is why material blessings are not the root—they are the fruit. The root is the Word of God in your spirit. A tree doesn’t strain to produce fruit; it simply draws nourishment from the soil and yields effortlessly. Likewise, when we are rooted in the Word, blessings flow naturally from our union with Christ. As Psalm 1:3 describes:
“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” (Psalm 1:3, KJV)
Transforming Your Prayer Life
If God has already given us all things through His Word, why do we spend so much time asking for what we already possess? Too often, our prayers resemble shopping lists: “Lord, give me this… Lord, provide that…” While it’s not wrong to make requests (Philippians 4:6), there is a higher dimension of prayer—one grounded in the revelation that “all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen…” (2 Corinthians 1:20, KJV).
Instead of praying, “God, please provide for me,” rise up declaring: “Thank You, Father, that Your grace abounds toward me! I have all sufficiency in all things!” Instead of pleading, “Lord, heal me,” boldly proclaim: “By His stripes, I am healed!” (Isaiah 53:5, KJV). This isn’t positive confession—it’s faith confession, anchored in God’s eternal Word.
Jesus demonstrated this perfectly at Lazarus’ tomb. He didn’t beg the Father to raise His friend—He thanked Him, then spoke the word: “Lazarus, come forth!” (John 11:43, KJV). The power wasn’t in the request; it was in the Word, released from a heart aligned with the Father’s will.
Letting the Word Dwell Richly in You
How do we walk in this reality? Colossians 3:16 (KJV) gives the blueprint:
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
To “dwell richly” means to be saturated, immersed, and overflowing with Scripture. This happens through:
- Meditation – “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” (Joshua 1:8, KJV)
- Don’t just read the Word—chew on it, ponder it, let it sink deep.
- Confession – “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:10, KJV)
- Speak God’s Word over your life. His promises are yes and amen!
- Obedience – “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22, KJV)
- As we obey, the Word manifests in our circumstances.
The Glorious Life of the Word-Filled Believer
When God’s Word becomes your treasure, you carry within you the seeds of every blessing—health, prosperity, victory, and peace. You don’t chase after these things; they pursue you as you abide in Him.
“And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.” — Deuteronomy 28:2 (KJV)
This is the life God has ordained for you—a life of divine fellowship, where His Word shapes your reality. So immerse yourself in Scripture. Let it fill your heart, govern your thoughts, and flow from your lips. Confess it boldly. Walk in it faithfully. And watch as the treasure within brings forth all things to the glory of God!
Amen and amen!
