Living in the Reality of God's Word

by Nellie O'Hara

I love how God invites us into a life where His Word is not just ink on a page, but living power in our hands and hearts. Trusting His Word isn’t just about knowing verses — it’s about stepping out on them, confident that heaven backs us up when we believe and act.

I remember when I first got saved I had an exciting dream. In the dream, there was a giant-size Bible and it was open. I was walking in that open Bible, walking in the words. I was like it was alive and I as I was walking through the pages and the stories, some of the Apostles were walking with me. It was an amazing experience in that dream!

God has given us eyes and insight to work with the unseen realm. We might not see it with our natural eyes, but by faith we can perceive what’s really going on in that realm.

The Word of God tells us that the Kingdom of God is at hand and that it is God’s pleasure to give us His Kingdom— that means it’s close enough to touch, right here in our everyday lives.

Yesterday was a great reminder of that for me. A friend came to me with a lump on her breast. She was in extreme pain. As I prayed, I could sense a battle going on in the spirit — this issue wasn’t just a physical issue. I was seeing things in the spiritual realm and I realized she needed deliverance as well as healing. We prayed in faith, taking authority in Jesus’ name. Within minutes, the lump was gone, the pain disappeared, and she was free!!

Moments like that stop you in your tracks!

Jesus walked this earth doing the same thing — and so much more.

He healed the sick. He cast out demons. He restored broken lives. And then He said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.” (John 14:12 NIV).

When you watch someone’s life change in front of you — pain gone, eyes bright with freedom — it’s hard to stand still. You want to dance! You want to shout! You want everyone to know Jesus heals, delivers, and saves!

And here’s the beautiful part: you don’t need a special title or years of ministry training to walk in this. You need faith in His Word, a willingness to obey, and the courage to step out even when you can’t see what’s happening yet. Faith is partnering with God’s reality over what your natural eyes can see.

Someone’s destiny can be unlocked in minutes when heaven touches earth through you. So let’s be bold! Let’s be real! And let’s keep trusting His Word and step into the unseen — because that’s where the miracles happen.

Activation Prayer

Lord, thank You for giving me eyes to see and faith to step into the unseen realm. I choose to trust Your Word over what I see or feel. Use me to bring healing, deliverance, and freedom to others. I believe that when I pray in faith, heaven responds. I say “yes” to partnering with You to see lives changed and destinies restored. In Jesus’ name, amen.
