The
Word of God Is Supreme
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
In
all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise
in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. (Prov. 3:6-7)
The
New Testament counterpart to this scripture is Second Corinthians 10:4
and 5:
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to
the pulling down of [Satan's] strong holds; Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. (2 Cor. 10:4-5)
Verse four says "weapons," plural. What are some of these weapons?
Verse five lists one of them as casting down imaginations or reasonings.
We are told to cast down imaginations or reasonings that exalt
themselves against the knowledge of God.
If you want to walk by faith, the Word of God must be superior to
natural human knowledge, whether that knowledge is yours, mine, or
someone else's. Remember, Proverbs 3:7 says, "Be not wise in thine own
eyes...."
One translation says, "Be not wise with thine own conceit." This is
talking about your own natural human thinking or reasoning.
You see, if the Word is to work for you, it must be to you as superior
to all human reasonings, because human knowledge-sense knowledge-is
always limited. The mind learns through the physical senses; it's
trained that way.
Therefore, no one has perfect human knowledge. But the Word of God is
perfect. If you're going to walk by faith, you're going to have to
settle on the integrity of the Word of God.
Confession: I cast down everything that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God. Instead of following my own natural human reasonings,
I follow the Word of God. And I continue to walk on in faith.
