Hebrews 4:2-3 "For this good news-that God has prepared this rest-has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. 3 For only we who believe can enter his rest... 6 but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God."
The good news of God word only benefits your life if you believe it and receive it into your heart/life. The children of Israel received the promise of God but it did them no good because they refused to receive it by faith. They continued to walk in disobedience and missed out on the promises of God.
Many today are doing the same thing, we have the promises of God but because of unbelief the promises of God are no good. Without faith it is impossible to activate the supernatural works of God and the proof of faith is obedience, what you believe you will live.
Churches should have lines of people every day at their doors desiring to be anointed with oil and healed of sickness and disease. But many Christians will battle sickness their entire life and never call for the elders of the Church (James 5:14-15) and be anointed with oil. Many Christians battle financial lack their entire lives but they never tithe or give to the local church. (Malachi 3:10) Many Christians struggle with strongholds in their lives and families but they never fast, pray and give asking God for supernatural breakthrough. (Isaiah 58:6-12)
The good news of God's word is available to whosoever will believe. Let's not repeat the mistakes of those who have gone before us, let's believe and obey the word of God and enter into his promises.
