"Believing To Receive" (FAITH)
When we truly believe in something, we are doing more
than just acknowledging it, we are RECEIVING into our heart.
The bible says Abraham believed GOD, and it was counted
unto him as righteousness. It also states that we are to
believe that when we pray (doubting nothing) that we WILL
receive it. For us to receive something, we have to do more
than just hear it in our minds, and ponder it, we have to
MOVE it. Move it from our minds into our HEART. When we
believe WITH our hearts, our mind is already made up! The
word of GOD says... " As many as believed have received". Do
you believe GODS word? If so, then you have, received it.
The word says " Faith comes by hearing, and the hearing,
of GODS word". Everytime we read, GODS word, we are
hearing it, in our minds, when we read it again, we are
hearing it again. We can hear, a minister read GODS word,
but how do we know that it is read verbatim, unless we
look for ourselves, read it, and hear it again, this time
we know, that it is GODS word, for we are seeing it for
ourselves. This is building our faith, as long as we
believe it, and receive it, into our hearts. When we read
the scripture, and see a promise from GOD, then we can
profess it (speak it) out of our mouths, and since we
believe it, GOD knows it, and it is THEN, HE will act upon
it, because this promise is also written... "My word shall
not return to me, null and void". This is equivalent of
GOD telling us, that if we believe it in our hearts, and
speak it out of our mouths, HE WILL DO IT! Praise GOD!
There are thousands of promises that GOD makes in HIS word
all we have to do, to receive it, is believe it, and then
SPEAK IT! Thats why the word says... " faith comes by hearing
and the hearing, of GODS word. We hear it, the first time
when we read it, or it's spoken to us, but we hear it
again, when we believe it enough to speak it! The bible
phrased it this way for a reason, and that is, the reason.
It was not implying, that we did not hear well, and that
it needed to be "read twice", for us to understand it. We
build our faith, when we believe and profess, GODS word
to HIM. So, the next time you want to receive a promise
from GOD, thats written in HIS word, simply believe it,
and claim it to the LORD, as a prayer, by speaking IT.
Then watch the results, as GOD KEEPS HIS WORD!
Your brother in CHRIST. ManofGod
