Let me begin this morning by stating; it is when you believe by faith in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord (that the cross and the resurrection truth in the Word of God becomes a reality to you).
Remember, the people who get answers from God are those who act on His Word. In other words, we must act like the Bible is true:
Are we living Holy, as He is Holy? Do you know that the Bible is true? Are you convinced His Word is truth? Are you determined to be obedient to God’s’ Word?
When we are convinced in our thinking and determined in our hearts to live according to His Word, we will expect great and wonderful things in the Lord. God’s Word, the Bible will become real in our lives. God will show up on the scene in the power of Jesus with signs, wonders, and miracles in demonstration of who He is in the believer.
Yes, living the Word will show outward, Christ in us, the Holy Spirit manifested through us. 1 Samuel states that “the battle is the Lord’s”. If the battle is the Lord’s than give it to the Lord and let Him fight your battle! Another scripture states, for only we who believe can enter his place of rest. As for those who didn’t believe, God said, “In my anger I made a vow: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’” even though his place of rest has been ready since he made the world.
A believer will rest in Jesus’ finished work as stated in Hebrews 4:3, It is when you give it to the Lord, resting in the finished work of Jesus, you can say, I know, that I know, it is finished. Do you know IT IS FINISHED? There is ONLY ONE thing we can do to receive, and that is to BELIEVE. To believe is to TRUST.
Again, let me say…it must be by faith, faith in and complete trust in, the finished work of Jesus at the cross; yes, place your confidence in Jesus and His work of the cross. Begin NOW to rest in what is already DONE. We are only to ask in faith, believe in faith, and receive by faith.
Do you realize that as a born-again spirit filled believer, you have the very power of Christ Jesus living in you! The very power to bind and loose the very things that are in heaven and in earth!
DO YOU BELIEVE? What is it that you are in need of? Ask now, by faith believe, begin to thank God, now, relax and rest, for the ANSWER is on its way. Walk in Victory: continue to walk in victory…expect the good report…for faith always has a good report. The Word of God is truth, and the truth is God… which is bigger than any devil. Always look to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit for your answer, not man!
1 John 4:1-4 states, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (KJV).
Yes, you are more than an overcomer because God’s’ righteousness is in you, for His Spirit resides in you. Again, let me say, the battle has been fought and has already been won! Jesus overcame Satan. For Jesus is in you as a believer, and you don’t have to fight the battle, Jesus did it for you, and for me…it has already been won! Colossians 1:26-27 sums it all up like this, For it has pleased God to tell his people that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gntiles, too. For this is the secret: Christ lives in you, and this is your assurance that you will share in his glory (NLT). Do you see the truth? As long as you don’t know this truth, Satan will take advantage. The Christ in you is your hope of glory! As a born-again believer, we will never have to worry, for Eternal Life is ours.
