Power Of Basics 102


Power Of Basic Believing 102
Key Scripture: Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1, NIV
Power Point:
There is a saying among the Amish:  For sure and for certain.” As I was looking at this scripture this morning, I realized that this is exactly what this scripture says. I like it even better in the NLT:  Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”
 Since you’ve now passed Basics of Believing 101 with flying colors, let’s move on to Basics of Believing 102.  You have a solid foundation of believing God for the best, and now it is important that you realize that your choices of truly believing Him must lead you to a changed life-style. You can’t simply speak the Words without that little matter of obedience coming to the forefront. A believer believes what God has said about walking in love, forgiving and moving on to a place where God’s love and power can flow. That means that his “believing” leads him to a change in perception that changes his life because he believes. A believer’s life honors God in every way, because he believes that His counsel is wise and good. His life is living proof of a life that God blesses.
A believer seeks God and His wisdom as his first priority. In other words God isn’t last on your list of “go-to” people. A believer is sure that God will show up, will rescue him, will craft the worst thing into a good thing, and will honor him with grace, mercy, and favor. Yes. No matter what.
A believer has hope, a certain hope, established on the Truth that God never thinks or does evil toward him but is always full of good ideas and plans that will give him hope.
Are you believing God for the best, always?
Are you certain that He is on your side and will move heaven and earth to help you?
Let me help you remember Basic Believing 102.  God has said,  “I will help you.  I will never leave you or abandon you.  Nothing can separate you from My love.”
Power Thought:
God's plan is always a good thing on the way. I'm sure of that; sure and certain.
