Doers of the word.
The very first place to deceive yourself is in not doing
the word after hearing it.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
The word of God says, "but be ye doers of the word".
In other words, do not be hearers only. Doing the
word is quite different from obeying the word. It's
quite impressive to see how Apostle James described
the doing of the word. When you take a careful look
at this verse:
25 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.
In simple translation: a man who beholds his natural
face in a glass (mirror) and continues to look into it.
Such an one isn't a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work. 'Doing' the Word is more about revelation
knowledge than accomplishing a task. I do the word
when I continue in the glory I see in the word. A lot of
people cower in the face of trials just because of
forgetful hearing. These ones will be in a meeting
with the word or in their private study and their faith
will go up but when they meet challenges they tend to
succumb.In doing the Word, we persevere in the
revelation of God's Word we have received about
who we are in Christ and carry it into our daily walk.
