When the Spirit of God gives you a scripture and you stand on that scripture the gates of hell will not prevail against that direction.
But when you want to do something or want something and you take the Bible and try to find a scripture to stand on to get what you want, you are in very great danger of failure and if you don't get what you want this way you also are in danger of loss of faith. This is not the correct way to stand on scripture.
The first thing we do when we have a "need" is to turn to God in prayer, laying everything out before God concerning that issue.
The second thing we do is wait on God.
Example: The wrong way ... When I was born again in 1975, I wanted to marry. I prayed to find husband. Our prayer group prayed for me to find husband. I found scripture to "claim" right to husband. I stood on scripture, quoting it daily. There was just one problem. It was not the will of God for me to marry. Not everyone marries. Paul said this in I Cor 7 when he explains some are spared trouble in the flesh.
One of the things Jesus taught His disciples to pray is: "Thy will be done" Mt. 6:10
Jesus didn't want to go to cross. Three times HE prayed. In the end, Jesus said: Nevertheless, not my will but Thy will be done.
The correct way to stand on the word of God: The Holy Spirit calls to your mind a scripture or a dream and that is the will of God in the matter at hand. You can hang your faith on what the Holy Spirit says.
It is not that you quote that scripture daily to make it come to pass. Rather that which is given by the Holy Spirit shows you the will of God and strengthens you when faith battles arise in your mind.
We do not have to go out and try to find messages to speak ...When it is of the Spirit of God, we first "partake" of the message and then we share it.
We do not have a list of good works to do ... When the work is of God, the Spirit of God authors the work. There is a very big difference between trying to follow a scripture without being led by the Spirit of God and doing something because it is authored by the Spirit of God.
In the end, the only work that will stand is the work authored by the Spirit of God at that specific moment in time.
Many people try to set up churches, and orphanages, and try to write books without these works being authored by the Spirit of God. They do these things by their own flesh. And they try to get others to pay for their works. Countless numbers are doing this today.
Jesus said: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mt. 7
You can try to follow a scripture and do all manner of good works set forth in a scripture and still not be doing a work of God. Before you set about to do a work, you must be led by the Spirit of God to do that work. You can't be led by your own flesh thinking it is your "Christian duty" to do this thing. You must be led by the Spirit of God in all things.
