Welcome to another life-transforming teaching from Apostle Joshua Selman, founder of Koinonia Global and a spiritual voice to the nations in these prophetic times. This message, titled “STANDING ON THE PROMISES (THE POTENCY OF WORD-DERIVED FAITH),” was preached on April 6, 2025, and it is one that will anchor your heart, rekindle your faith, and realign your spirit with God’s eternal truth.
🎯 What Is This Message About?
In this message, Apostle Joshua Selman teaches on the unshakable nature of God’s Word, and how believers must learn to anchor their faith, emotions, and expectations on the integrity of God’s promises. This is especially vital in a generation that is easily swayed by circumstances, delays, and discouragement.
Apostle Selman outlines the difference between faith that is emotion-driven and faith that is Word-based. He teaches that the kind of faith that produces results is one that comes from deep conviction birthed through intimacy with Scripture and God’s voice.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
- Romans 4:20–21 – “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.”
- Hebrews 10:23 – “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
- 1 Timothy 1:18 – “War a good warfare with the prophecies spoken over you.”
- Isaiah 55:10–11 – “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void…”

💡 Message Highlights:
🔹 Standing on the Word is proof of spiritual maturity.
When we stand on God’s Word without compromise, it shows that we have transitioned from emotional Christianity to revelational conviction.
🔹 The power of the Word is not in quoting it, but in believing it enough to act on it.
Apostle Selman stresses that the true test of faith is obedience in uncertainty.
🔹 Every prophecy and promise must be mixed with understanding, prayer, and endurance.
Spiritual promises are not automatic. Faith must be engaged like a spiritual law.
🔹 Standing requires inner strength, patience, and continual confession of God’s Word.
Even when your eyes don’t see results, you must keep declaring, believing, and praising.
🔹 God’s integrity backs His promises.
If it came from the mouth of God, it will not fail. He watches over His Word to perform it.
