Power Of Really Believing

Key Scripture:  “For I know whom I have believed.”  2 Timothy 2:12 Power Point: Believing is tricky isn’t it? We think we believe and yet our life doesn’t reflect it. When I am “believing” God for something, it should make a definite difference in my countenance, in my words, and in my actions. Believing should make me different. It should change my convictions. it should put "WOW" on my face and in my heart.  Believing what God says makes trusting Him easy. The truth is that “Believing” all boils down to what you think about God isn't it? It is what you KNOW that you KNOW, that you KNOW. That’s where believing begins.   For example: If we really believed Him, we would: Not hesitate, vacillate, or procrastinate, not go around looking downcast, and not plan on losing. If we really believed Him, we would act passionately, and violently and confidently for Truth. If we really believed Him, we would be so fully persuaded that what He says is true that nothing could keep us from Him or from victory. If we really believed Him, it would never occur to us to be unmerciful or unkind. If we really believed Him, we would cut strife off at the roots before it has a chance to cut off the Life He has for us. If we really believed Him, we would enter each day with a shout of victory, a declaration of blessing, and a heart that is fully persuaded of His goodness for us that day. If we really believed Him, we would never be depressed. If we really believed Him, we would never lack any good thing. If we really believed Him, we would always be in peace and rest. If we really believed Him, we would never fear anything. If we really believed Him, we would always stand and fight for our promises. If we really believed Him we would take hold of every thing He offers, knowing it is a good thing every time. If we really believed Him, we would never feel unloved or unwanted or alone. If we really believed Him, we would approach life with confidence, and expectation. If we really believed Him, we could change the world. If we really believed Him, there would always be "WOW!" on our faces.     I saw a sign once that said, “We practice daily what we believe, all the rest is just religious talk.” What you really believe changes your life one way or the other doesn’t it? Power Thought: Believing is seeing. Have you taken a good look at Him lately?  WOW!
