Do you believe in God? Do you really believe in God? Do you believe that He is Who He says He is and is capable of all of the things that we say He is capable of? If we really believe in God, then we must see life in a radically different way than the person who does not believe, and this should change the living out of our lives in a big way!
There are a lot of people that say they believe, but very few really believe – believe in such a way that it changes them and their lives. To really believe – means that you look at life differently and live life differently. Our values are influenced and shaped by what we believe.
If we really believe in God, then our belief must make a difference in our lives and our lives should make a difference in this world. Do you really believe? Here are just a few thoughts to get your motor running today:
What can compare to our God or what can you compare our God to? The answer: NOTHING! I mean, I can honestly come up with nothing that even comes close! Our God is incomparable and just acknowledging this truth changes everything!
God is in the TRANSFORMATION business! I love this time of year, because we are watching things that were dead, come to life. This is the business of God! God takes people that were dead and makes them alive! If you really believe, then stop walking around like a dead man!
God is VICTORIOUS! And if you believe in Him and have a relationship with Him – you will be victorious! Can you think of one battle that God has ever lost or will lose? Take some time today to think about God. Take some time to REALLY BELIEVE! And let your real belief change your life!
P.S. Just one more thing I want to remind you of: God Believes In You!
YES!!! Just look around….GOD is everywhere. You know, we tell our kids that Santa Clause is everywhere. That he is always watching you. Well, GOD truly is everywhere and is always watching out for us. I truly believe in GOD. He is our awesome GOD and nothing can compare to HIM. He still works mircales and he still transforms people. I have seen both. Thank you GOD for who you are and for what you do.
you are the one who brings the truth, I believe! thanks for the insight and the fact!
Accepting Christ as`
Accepting Christ at 9 years of age with child like faith , I knew I had a relationship with HIM and I took it as serious as I knew how. Pretty much being the mischievious child i was, I felt guilty most of the time..I feared GOD…..I loved HIM but the FEAR overshadowed that, I hate to say.My mom loved and still does love the Lord with all of her heart……She loved to go to church…So we were there every time the doors were opened,…I grew into my teens and I went,only to sit and wait til it was over..I became almost numb……..I was touched at times , knew I was not where I should be–felt guilty but nothing really changed drastically. I wanted it to but I was depending on myself not GOD.
FORWARD…………..20 YEARS………….GOD GOT A HOLD OF ME! THE LOVE WAS WHAT I FELT FROM HIM and I loved HIM more and more each day……HE changed me!.. HE made me BOLD ……I couldnt even mention Jesus around anyone that wasnt saved or too much at all,really………Then I read the book “sharing Jesus without FEAR! CHANGED MY LIFE! HE LIVES IN ME AND I AM SURELY NOT ASHAMED OF HIM!!!He gave me so many opportunities and I finally ACTED upon them…..WHAT A JOY! The excitement that I felt after all these years, to love Him and KNOW how much HE loved ME…all the time……and tell others about HIM! I often wonder how I was such a DEAD Christian…..I knew I was saved but the JOY wasnt there.I would pray so many times LORD, Restore in me the JOy of my SALVATION!
About FAITH…as I grew my faith was not growing as much……I finally had to say, if I really BELIEVE, then……….HE IS GOD OF ALL—OR THERE IS NOT A GOD AT ALL!!!I chose the first and I now have a faith that is stronger than its ever been……There have been trials that gave me that faith…….at times I thought I had lost it all! I think I had never had to depend on God so much before so I was content just knowing I was going to heaven one day.
When I could say to God——–(from “EXPERIENCING GOD”) ..God ,I want this and this and i want it at a certain time etc……and I can help make it happen Im sure… BUT GOD , IF THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT FOR ME AND ITS NOT IN YOUR PLAN FOR MY LIFE, ………CANCEL MY REQUEST!!!!!I WANT YOUR PLAN FOR MY LIFE ….IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE BEST!!.I knew that my faith had been tested ….and I meant it ……Not saying that Melanie doesnt at times go thru the whole deal of trying to handle things and wait until the end to realize that……..i get all worn out for nothing……DO WE TRULY BELIEVE? Good question……..I have been there and done that ……..and thank God , He has carried me thru much……and proven himself over and over…..Now I know why my mom loved to go to church! It just took about 20 years and feeling alot of guilt along the way…..I Fear God but I LOVE HIM MORE! He is so real to me! Well, this book is finished …….im ready to start another ………He is surely not done with me ….but I am waiting to see what HE wants and its not easy at times but I praise HIM for bringing me (my SS teacher called me doubting Thomas one time,I guess she picked up on me) this far and trusting Him more and more……..love you all, mel
