Belief

June 16th, 2011

Hi Everyone,

"Believe in me", Jesus says, "Believe!" "Believe I can do anything. Believe that all things are possible. Believe that there is no defeat in me. Believe that I will provide for you, that I will protect you. Believe that I am watching over you. Believe that I am your provider."

I woke up with that song going over and over in my heart this morning and felt I needed to encourage you to choose today to believe. Believe God is working it all out; that this weekend is the weekend where you get your answer and your breakthrough. Believe for the financial answer to your challenge. Believe Him for healing.

Jesus said in Mark 11:24, "I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours."

The decision to believe is a decision of the mind and the heart. I will believe. I choose to believe. I make a decision to believe.

"And because of their unbelief, He couldn't do any mighty miracles among them except to place His hands on a few sick people and heal them. And He was amazed at their unbelief." Mark 6:5-6

What stopped Jesus dead in his tracks? What stopped Him blessing His own town? Unbelief. Attitudes that had crept in to the people's mindsets that blocked their ability to believe.

What has crept into your mind and heart? Is it a secular mindset of unbelief in anything supernatural? Is it just the news of the day telling you costs are going up and you are going to struggle to survive? Is it hurt? Is it disappointment? How you fix your mind will determine what you believe. This is why we have to renovate our thinking. Our thinking changes what we believe.

EVERYTHING STARTED WITH BELIEF AND IT ENDS WITH BELIEF. It all started with Abraham.

"And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith." Genesis 15:6

Abraham just accepted it as truth and this act of belief started everything. I'm praying for your belief today.
