Rewrite the Code of Your Life

Rewrite the Code of Your Life

Through Christ, you can rewrite the code of your life. Go past the limitations of the flesh, of what you can see, of your own weaknesses, of the norms you are in, of your own habits and regular routines that keep you stagnant.

An algorithm determines Google’s search results. An algorithm is just a coded set of rules that determines a particular programming. Similarly, or lives can be programmed by our circumstances, and the limitations of our flesh or we can allow the Lord to recode our lives. Let your life operate from the Word Algorithm.

Go past the limitations of the flesh, of what you can see, of your own weaknesses, of the norm you are in, of your own habits and regular routines that keep you bound. Rewrite the codes that you operate by, and break out into a new code unlimited in the Spirit

Touch Jesus by Faith

Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

The power of Christ reshapes our spiritual lives, and even invades and impacts our physical lives and circumstances. The woman with the issue of blood reached out to touch Jesus by faith, and the flow of Christ’s power healed her body and transformed her life. When the power of Christ touched her, she was no longer defined by her sickness and losing all her money in search of a cure. She was now healed because she touched Jesus by faith. To be free from anything seeming to hold your life down, reach out by faith to Jesus and receive His touch. His power rewrites the code of your life.

Eat the Word

Joshua 1:8 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.

  • Speak the Word of God

  • Meditate on it (think on it)

  • Apply the Word of God to your life.

Eating the Word of God by reading, studying, meditating on it, speaking it, and doing it will make a way of success in your life.

Eat the Fruits of Your Mouth

Proverbs 18:20-21 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 13:2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

The words of our mouth are fruits that we eat. Your life will become filled by the abundance of your words whether they are good or bad.

Praise is a Fruit of the Lip

Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

When you praise God and give Him thanks, the words of your lips are fruit offerings unto God.

God’s Work Creates the Fruits of Your Lips

Isaiah 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that isnear, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

We can give God praise, and speak of what He has done for us because of His redemptive work in our lives. God’s work in our lives is what creates the fruits of our lips. Speak the things that God is doing in your life; acknowledge them with the words of your mouth.

Speak in Faith

Mark 11:23-24 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

When you speak by faith in God, you will have what you say. You will eat the fruits of your mouth. Remember, there is no unforgiveness, malice, nor envy in faith. Faith springs out of a pure heart. Therefore when you pray in God’s will by faith, you will receive whatsoever you ask.

Fasting and Prayer

Ezra 8:21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

Ezra while on his way to Jerusalem fasted for a safe passageway. God led him safely as he prepared himself in fasting and prayer. Fasting and prayer break your flesh allowing you to become more sensitive to the Spirit. Therefore, through fasting, you can get a clearer understanding of what God’s will is in the different moments of your life.

Pray in the Spirit

By praying in the Spirit, I specifically mean praying in tongues during your private and devotional prayer time. When you pray in tongues you are speaking mysteries to God (1 Corinthians 14:2). Therefore, you go beyond the limitations of the natural mind, and you pray spiritual mysteries.

Build Yourself

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself

By praying in tongues, you build up yourselves spiritually. When you speak in tongues you enrich yourself in the spirit.

Go Beyond Your Weakness

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

The Spirit will move you to speak in tongues in prayer for things that your natural mind and physical weakness prevents you to pray for. In the Spirit, you could be praying for important matters that you are unaware of.

See by Faith

Psalm 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

See the things that God is doing. Look through the eyes of the flesh. Look at the promises of His Word, the vision He has given, and the good He is working in your life. Don’t faint at the things in your life - that’s the words coding. You have an eternal code.
