The Pastors Letters

JESUS IS LORD! No matter what happens to the economy or our governments, we are victorious because He is risen and satan is defeated! Hallelujah! Do you believe that? Let’s take a look…

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. Ex 4:8-9

God is a miracle working God. He always has been and He always will be. He never changes. For I am the LORD, I change not; Mal 3:6

Seems neither does mankind. Although Father God does miracle after miracle for us, we still have difficulty believing Him.

This is what happened with Moses. God gave him a command in Ex 4:1 and he argues that maybe the elders and the people will not believe. God then does the miraculous so they will believe.

I do not know why it is so hard for mankind to really believe God. Yet I see it everyday. We say that we believe him, but then our actions show differently. It is according to what one really believes that determines their actions.

In other words, what you really believe is what you will do. You are what you believe. You make decisions according to what you believe. Your life is an example of what you really believe.

Here God was showing Moses the miraculous in order to get the people to believe so they would act. In this way He could deliver them from bondage! It is always for our good that God does something. His desire is to gain our trust so He can lead us out of bondage.

It is no different today. He does miracle after miracle to get us to believe Him instead of satanic circumstance. When we really do believe Him, we act, and He delivers.

You can say you are trying to believe, but that will not get the job done. Reason is you will continue to act what you really believe. If you are merely trying to believe, then you are actually believing something else instead of the Word and arguing with yourself about it. This is unbelief in disguise.

When one confesses they do believe, but actions do not agree with their confession. The circumstances will not change except for the worse. To believe is to act, all else is deception.

Saints, this is life and death material. If you think you are believing but acting in accordance with unbelief, you will die. You cannot afford to be even a little bit wrong in this. I have seen too many go to their grave saying they believe.

How can this be? We know it is not God’s fault. He cannot lie. …God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2

The problem lies with us. We think we are believing but in reality we are not. The way we know this is by what we say and do. It is just that simple.

The Word of God has untold numbers of examples with God doing the miraculous in order to get His people to believe. He did the greatest of all miracles when He sent His Son Jesus. He was born of a virgin, the Word made flesh, the unseen God now seen, so we would believe. How many say they believe this but continue a life of sin?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

The same Jesus that came to earth and defeated sin, sickness and the grave still does the miraculous today. It is for His people to know. He did not stay dead on that cross, He arose with power and authority and Lord of all! Proving every promise in order for us to believe our way out of this present day bondage.

Now, check yourself. What are you believing. I mean what are you really believing? The circumstances, the pain in your body, the report of a loved one, a doctor, a bank account, or the Word of God backed by the power of the resurrected savior?

Your actions and your words tell all.

Think about it. If you need correction, allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you. In reality, we all do. This is something we must become more and more skillful in. It is a process, a lifelong process. Yield to it saints. Allow the God of the universe to mold and shape you into that victorious image He created you for. Make the decision to believe Him no matter what it looks like, feels like, or sounds like. It is not an emotional feeling. It is a choice you make. Do it, the greater one lives within you.

I love you and bless you!

SEE YOU IN CHURCH!
