James 1:23-24

For is anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in the mirror; for once he has look at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like.  

Faith needs corresponding action to be activated. When we read the promises in the Bible, we need to believe what it says and that it is possible in our lives. Jesus says we can be healed, saved, prosper, and grow in faith. Beyond reading it, do we have the faith to believe and speak for the answer in our lives? Do we remember the promise after we set the Bible down?
