Believe God

Let me take a moment to encourage you to BELIEVE GOD. Here at the start of the year, many of us have created our list of goals and made our vision boards. Let's make sure we are believing God for these things to happen. Make the decision to believe God over what the world says, the news, media, your circumstances, and other people's opinions.

REMEMBER:

1) Believing God is what our whole relationship with Christ is based on. 

John 3:16 (ESV) - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

2) There is joy and peace in believing. Fear steals your joy and peace. Resist fear and choose to believe God no matter what!

Romans 15:13 (ESV) - "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

3) We are truly blessed for believing. We believe based on what God tells us, not based on what we see or don't see. 

John 20:29 (ESV) - "Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

I want to challenge you with two things:

1) Make the quality decision to believe God

Hebrews 11:6 (ESV) - " And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."

2) Be honest about your level of belief. Boldly ask God to help you increase your level of belief. 

Mark 9:23-24 (ESV) - "And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”

God has so many things in store for us to experience. We access them through believing. Let's BELIEVE!
