Tag: What the Bible says about believing God

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-24

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

God is much bigger and more powerful than we can fathom.

Our finite human minds can barely begin to grasp who He really is in His fullness.

As His children, we must be careful not to put God in a box that is smaller than He can fit in.

What does that mean?

It means that we need to be careful that we don’t believe Him for less than He can do.

Jeus spoke the words, “your faith has made you well” on more than one occasion.

This is critical for us to understand.

Yes, Jesus was the One who healed these people. But it was their faith that made their healing possible!

And so it is with so many things about our own lives. God can do much more than we can comprehend with our natural minds, so we must ask Him to help us believe by His Spirit.

This is not easy, especially when we are young believers. But as we grow, and we learn of Him (by spending time in His word), our faith should grow. And as that faith grows, we will see Him move on our behalf in ways that we never thought possible.

So, let us begin to trust Him wholly. Let us ask Him to help us with our doubt and unbelief. And watch as He opens our spiritual eyes to who He is and what He can do!

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-22-24

John 4:50 (NKJV) 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

Believing before seeing is where the miracle takes place.

How many of us today need to believe what He is saying to us? Are we waiting to see if He will deliver first, before we believe?

It won’t happen if we don’t believe what He is speaking to our hearts. This man’s son lived because the father believed Jesus at His word.

Maybe we are like this man today. We need healing or a breakthrough, either for us or someone we love.

We have to believe what Jesus is showing us.

As the man arrived close to home, his servant came to him and told him, your son lives! When he inquired of the time it happened, it was right when the man believed Jesus’ words, “your son lives”…Praise God!!

Are we holding back a miracle because we are waiting for a sign, or needing to see something take place or happen first? Pray for God to help us in our unbelief.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-24-20

Mark 11:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Prayer is powerful if we have the faith to back it up. All we need to have is faith the size of a mustard seed, which is tiny. But we all have it.

We have to let it go to work for us. Believe, and it will grow, and grow, and grow. It will grow as much as we believe for.

God is faithful to help us by taking the faith we have in Him and giving us opportunities to watch and see for ourselves what He can and will do.

If we can’t believe Him for it, it won’t happen.

Sometimes we can believe Him for it and it won’t happen either. Why? Because it was not the right answer for the problem. God is not going to pass something through if it’s going to bring destruction, or if it will hurt those that belong to Him.

His love will protect us from harm.

And believe me, the things we ask for sometimes, if they were to have gone through, ouch. We would have been in a heap of trouble.

We need to thank Him for protecting us from these things by not answering sometimes.

He is good!

Have faith and believe Him for the things He puts in our hearts to ask for. They shall come in the perfect timing. Amen.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Dear God,

We are grateful that the things we asked for, but we did not receive, was the right answer for us. Even though we do not always understand it, we appreciate it and are thankful because You only do what is good for us. You know what is best.

Now, for the things that You have laid upon our hearts and know that is what we will need, we lift those requests up to You and believe that You will take care of it. It’s in Your hands. Please show us our part that we need to play. Help us to follow You and not to try to take the lead when things begin to change and the answer begins to come.

We love you and thank you for Your faithfulness. Continue to help us in our unbelief.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-8-18

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

It was April, 1970. I was 7 years old.

I woke up on a Sunday morning and noticed that I was having trouble breathing. Every time I took a breath, it wasn’t only hard to do, but it also sounded funny. It made strange squeaking, whistling noises.

It was something I had never experienced before. But it was something that I would live with for the next 30 years.

My parents took me to the doctor. It was asthma, we were told. It was incurable, we were told. And we left it at that. For 30 years.

But God had other plans. He knew the truth of it all.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

I carried the lie. I struggled with asthma attacks, tried so many different kinds of medication, went through so many medical tests. For 30 years.

My life was limited by what I carried. I couldn’t live my life to its fullest potential. My sports activities were limited. My social activities were limited. And eventually, my interactions with my wife and my children were limited by this lie.

But then one day God spoke directly to my spirit. He told me that I had bought a lie, and that this lie didn’t have to control me any longer.

And I believed Him. I believed what He told me. And He set me free from that lie. Forever.

God told me that I could be free from this prison cell called Asthma. He offered me the key, and I reached for it with everything in me! And He used that key to unlock the prison cell and set me free from it. After 30 years.

God healed my body, set me free, and delivered me from this spirit of infirmity. That was over 18 years ago, and I have never looked back.

The doctors told me it was impossible. But with God, all things are possible.

What is your prison today? Sickness? Emotional struggles? Poverty? Depression? Anger? Bitterness?

There could be an endless list. But God knows them all. Every single one. And He knows which one is holding you prisoner.

What’s more, He holds the key that can set you free from it.

It’s up to us to reach out, take that key, and then follow the steps that God places before us.

Those steps lead to freedom, in the name of Jesus.

It’s up to us. We can believe the lie, or we can believe Him who holds the key.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-18 – Believe and Receive – What Does The Bible Say?

Believe and Receive - What Does The Bible Say?Greetings in the name of Jesus, 

We hope you are enjoying your day and walking in the blessings of God. 

Believe and receive. Most of us have heard this catchy little phrase used in the church. But what does it really mean? 

We just published a new video that explores this topic, and we’d love to have you watch it! 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

The implication of this phrase is usually that all we have to do is believe God for something and it will just happen. 

But what does God’s word say about this? Is what we’ve all been hearing really true? 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Recording this video was a lot of fun and we feel like it’s very informative in many different ways, so we do hope you will take a few minutes out of your day and watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-16

Matthew 13:58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The He that they are referring to in this verse is Jesus. Because of their unbelief, Jesus did not do mighty works there in that area.

It’s important that we understand that unbelief will cause us to miss out on seeing mighty works done, in the church, in our homes, in our lives and in our town. Unbelief will hold back the mighty works of Jesus Christ.

Mighty works come, and change happens when we believe Jesus for them. We can’t do them on our own.

A Pastor, Priest, Evangelist, etc. can not do them on their own and we can not talk ourselves into making it happen.

Jesus Christ needed the people to believe if they wanted to see mighty works done.

If we are in need today of a mighty work of God, whether in our own lives, or maybe others we see around us, but we are struggling with unbelief, ask God for help.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

He is willing to help us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-16

John 4:50 (NKJV) 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

Jesus spoke His WORD to this man and the man took Him at it and BELIEVED Him.

This man implored Jesus, meaning he made a very serious or emotional request to Him.

How serious are we when it comes to getting Jesus’ help? Are we STILL trying to fix things on our own and then blaming Him because nothing has changed?

This is huge, because in this verse there is a need. The man’s son needs healing or he will die.

John 4:47 (NKJV) 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

It is a life-threatening need.

What are we going through today? Maybe we are facing a life-threatening situation as well. Maybe with ourselves, or a loved one? Maybe our marriage is falling apart, or our relationship with our children needs help, etc. Maybe we are up against something very hard and we need His WORD for our situation.

But, it doesn’t stop there, we can not just get a word and that’s it. We have to do what this man did and believe. We have to believe HIS word, BEFORE we see the results.

Here it is…The man did not know his son was healed, but he believed Jesus’ word. It was after, when he arrived home that they told him.

John 4:52 (NKJV) 52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

The same hour that he believed!!

John 4:53 (NKJV) 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.

Some of us are on the fence, waiting to SEE the results before we completely believe. It’s not going to happen that way. Believing comes first.

First, we need to make a very serious request for Jesus’ word for our situation. Very serious; that means even if we don’t like what we know or hear, we must submit to it and follow it out. Second, believe that it will be done according to His word and what He shows us, even before we see the results.

If we want His results, we must hear it and believe it!

May His healing be upon you, your life, your situation and all that you are dealing with today. Amen.
