Introduction: Making the Word of God Real

 Welcome to the Ministering Angel Podcast, where you'll deepen your connection with Jesus Christ. Whether new or returning this podcast is your guide to unlocking potential and overcoming challenges. Ronald, along with various hosts, shares divine messages that inspire strength, wisdom, and resilience.

More than a podcast, it's a sanctuary of faith and miracles. Get ready to be inspired and empowered.

I have come to understand that the Word of God doesn’t truly become real to us until we live it. We can profess to walk by faith. We can quote Scripture. We can declare the promises of God over our lives. We can even know by heart the verses that matter most to us. But here’s the real question: Is any of it real to you?

I’m not asking if you can recite it. I’m not asking if you can highlight it in your Bible or post it on your wall. I’m asking if it’s alive in you, if it’s the foundation you stand on when the storms hit. Because until you’ve lived it, until you’ve walked through the valley and had to hold on to nothing but that Word, it’s not truly yours. You might know it in theory, but it won’t be real in your life until it has been tested.


Living the Scriptures You Quote

I want to provoke your thoughts for a moment. Ask yourself these questions honestly: Have I truly lived the Scriptures I so easily quote? Do I genuinely believe them? Have they become alive and active in my life? Because until you’ve walked them out, how can they be real to you? The truth is, they can’t.

Let’s be honest, we’ve all had moments when we said something with our lips but didn’t yet carry it in our hearts. We might tell someone, “God is my provider,” but panic the moment a bill is due. We might say, “I can do all things through Christ,” but collapse under the weight of pressure. We might declare, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper,” but lose sleep when we hear someone is speaking against us.

We need to examine ourselves. Not with condemnation, but with a willingness to see where our faith is still just words instead of lived truth.


No Weapon Formed

You say, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.” (Isaiah 54:17) But do you live by this truth? Or do you panic when things don’t go your way, immediately blaming the enemy as if God’s Word has no power? Do you believe that God’s protection is real, or do you trust it only when everything is peaceful? The verse says no weapon formed shall prosper—it does not say no weapon will form. It means the attacks will come, but they will not prevail. If you truly believe that, your reaction in battle will reveal it.


All Things Through Christ

You declare, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) But how do you respond when adversity comes? Do you remain calm and rooted in faith, trusting that Christ will empower you through the trial? Or do you become frustrated, overwhelmed, and vexed by what you see and feel in the moment? Faith isn’t proven when everything is easy—it’s revealed when life presses you to the breaking point. If Christ is truly your strength, that truth should hold you steady even when the wind is against you.


God Shall Supply

You proclaim, “But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) But when a bill is due and the money isn’t there, what’s your response? Do you trust God’s provision? Or do you scramble, robbing Peter to pay Paul, scheming to make ends meet, relying on your own strength instead of His promise? The God who created the heavens and the earth is not limited by your bank account, yet too often we act as though He is. Faith in His provision is revealed not when the check clears on time, but when there’s nothing in sight and you still choose to rest in Him.


Faith That Is Lived

The reality is this: the proof of what you truly believe is evidenced by your responses. You can know all the verses in your head, but until they become part of your life, until they govern your decisions, shape your perspective, and influence your reactions, they are just words on a page.

The Word of God is meant to be alive in you. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.” That means it is not just to be read, but to be experienced, to be wielded in battle, to be relied upon in hardship, and to be trusted when nothing else makes sense. The question is not whether you’ve read it—the question is whether you’ve lived it.

What Do You Believe?

So, what do you truly believe? Do you believe only what you can see? Or do you trust, rely on, and cling to the God who can do anything? Because if your belief is in what you see, it will crumble the moment circumstances change. But if your belief is in the unshakable God, then no matter what comes, you will stand.

This is not about shaming you for moments of doubt—it’s about calling you higher. It’s about urging you to go beyond surface faith and into deep, lived faith. James 1:22 reminds us, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” It’s not enough to know the Word, or even to agree with it in theory. You must apply it. You must test it. You must let it shape your life until it’s not just what you say—it’s who you are.

The Testing That Makes It Real

In the end, the situations that push you to the edge are the very things that make God’s Word real to you. When you walk through fire and come out without the smell of smoke, you know His protection is real. When you face a need and God provides in a way you couldn’t have imagined, you know His provision is real. When you’re pressed but not crushed, struck down but not destroyed, you know His strength is real.

That’s why trials are not wasted—they are proving grounds. They turn head knowledge into heart knowledge. They take what was once theory and make it your reality.

Your Invitation

So I’ll leave you with this: don’t settle for knowing the Word in your mind, live it until it’s written on your heart. Trust it in the dark. Stand on it when the ground shakes. Declare it when the storm rages. And let your life be living proof that His promises are more than words, they are truth.

Because in the end, the only way the Word of God becomes real to you… is when you live it.
