THE BELIEVING BELIEVER Episode 21

THE BEAUTIFUL: Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION

I Believed.

Watch and see all that will be
Healing through Your Ministry
Life and Death in tug of war 
Raging Angels at the core
Heaven’s Angels released and sent
Conquering Evil that was meant
To stop this Path of Life that’s heard
Releasing from a Daughter’s word
You, O Father, know my grief 
The tears the cries without relief
In your mercy you have come
Fulfilling Promise to this one 
I love You LORD, and it is true 
My will is just to follow You
To hear You at your deepest place
To love You throughout time and space
To reach within Your Spirit’s call 
To seek and search for Truth in all
To bring this Truth to those in need
So they may too be Healed and Freed
God in Heaven hear my plea
Release this Daughter’s Destiny
Release this Broken child from bed 
Heal this bruised and battered head
You were Broken for my pain 
Suffered, Crucified and Blamed 
No sin was Yours, You carried mine
Took my punishment and crime
Nailed upon a battered Cross
Sacrificed and paid the cost
The Blood You shed spilled once for all
Upon the Mercy Seat did fall
Conquered Death eternally 
Released from prison we are free 
Raised to Life and Glorious throne 
Given riches to Your own 
Jesus, Jesus, Living Word
You become my Battle sword 
The Word of Truth is in my hand
The Mind of Christ that I might stand
The Victory of this war is done
Fought by Faith in Christ Your Son
By His stripes I am made well
No more torment sent from Hell
I rise above this pain and loss 
I choose to carry Jesus’ Cross
And in this step of Faith I’m freed 
Because, O Father, I Believed.

THE BELIEVING BELIEVER  Episode 21

THE BEAUTIFUL - Our Emotional, Physical & Spiritual CONDITION


James 5:15-17  King James Version

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

        My Beautiful Brother and Sister Believers, many Christians profess to KNOW God. Many profess to FOLLOW God. Many profess to WORSHIP God, but are they really Believers? Do they really follow Christ, and do they really BELIEVE? My Beautiful Believer, this is the beckoning question to The Broken Body of Believers, today. Do they BELIEVE? Do YOU Believe?

	The Believing Believer BELIEVES! 

	To understand “Believing” as a Believer, we must first understand what it is to BELIEVE. What are we BELIEVING in? To understand this question, we must first understand FAITH. People can easily become frustrated, and disappointed, and easily become disillusioned, and even angry with God, because they have lacked a Biblical understanding of what it is to BELIEVE. They have lacked a true Biblical understanding of FAITH. 

	They don’t know what they are Believing in, or Believing for. Many Believers have a wrong understanding of real Faith. Many believe “Faith” is a feeling. When they “feel” God’s presence, or when circumstances are good, they Trust God. But when they endure adverse circumstances, over, and over again, or when they begin to Suffer, their Faith wavers. They stop Believing.

	When everything is good they Praise God. But when things get difficult, or painfully hard, when the pressure is rising, they give up on God, or become angry with God, in the midst of their struggle. When hardship comes, they harden their Hearts. When chaos comes, they Curse God.

	This is not FAITH at all. They suffer a “Spiritual” collapse, because they don’t have a strong Foundation of FAITH. Painfully, this happens all the time. This happened to God's Chosen Children of Israel, in the Wilderness. Maybe this has happened to you?

	Today I am going to teach you about True Biblical Faith, so you may Become a true Believing Believer!

	Faith is NOT a feeling, or a fluctuating response to our fluctuating circumstances. Simply said, it is this:

*FAITH IS OUR CONVICTION AND TRUST IN GOD AND THE WORD OF GOD. 
…And this opposite statement is True as well.

*ALL FEAR COMES FROM NOT TRUSTING IN GOD AND HIS WORD.

        We cannot live in FEAR, and Walk in FAITH at the same time. This is the God honest Truth. It is one or the other. Fear or Faith. Faith or Fear.

When we are in FAITH we are in peace. 

When we are in FEAR we are in turmoil. 

When we are in FAITH we have rest. 

When we are in FEAR we have unrest. 	

All FEAR comes from NOT BELIEVING God and His Word.

Isaiah 26:3  (KJV)

3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:3  (ESV)

3 You keep him in perfect peace
    whose mind is stayed on you,
    because he trusts in you.

        Can you sense what this is like now in your Spirit-Man? When we are in FAITH we have calm, rest, ease in our spirits. When we are in FEAR we are in dis-ease, or without peace, and have unrest in our spirits. Believing, as a Believer, brings Peace. When we Trust God, we are resting in His Promises, and we have rest.

	This Version of Scripture about FAITH is very powerful! Hebrews 11:1 Amplified, “Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.”

The King James Version says it this way, and continues on in Hebrews, discussing Faith.

Hebrews 11:1, 6  (KJV)

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
	

He must BELIEVE. Without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.

        The WISE man or woman, THE BELIEVING BELIEVER, has a FOUNDATION OF FAITH IN ACTION. Our FAITH is a right response to the Word of God, based on Revelation. We must be Doers of the Word, and not just Hearers. Being a DOER of the Word is expressing our FAITH IN ACTION. Our ability To HEAR and To ACT on The Word of God, will determine the strength of our Spiritual Foundation.

        FAITH is the REVELATION of God’s Word in ACTION. The Word says, we must Act on The Word of God, BELIEVING. As we ACT on God’s Word, in Faith, God’s POWER is released to PERFORM it! Praise God! God’s POWER is RELEASED to PERFORM it!

FAITH IN ACTION - THE BELIEVING BELIEVER

Matthew 7:24-27  (KJV)

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock;

25 And the rain descended (An Abusive Marriage), and the floods came (A Cancer Diagnosis), and the winds blew (Huntington’s Disease), and beat upon that house (A Broken Femur); and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 
(JESUS CHRIST)

26 And every one that  heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.   




FAITH is the Key

There was a time when my Dreams were made of Rainbows
Beautiful, translucent colors in the air
Yet as the years have passed
The colors all have faded
Rain has washed away the Beauty there

And yet behind the clouds, the Sun is shining
Clear and brilliant blue, the sky resides for all to see
To look beyond the Storm
to find Your Purpose for my life
takes trusting in Your Love
FAITH is the Key

Faith is the Key
Faith is the Key
I know that there is more than I can see
I know there can be Laughter even after Broken Dreams
You’re teaching me
FAITH is the Key

When Rain is what I get instead of Rainbows
and You have cleared a Path for me that I did not foresee
Although I cannot understand
Why this pain is in Your plan
I cling to what I know
FAITH is the Key

Faith is the Key
Faith is the Key
I know that there is more than I can see
I know there can be Laughter even after Broken Dreams
You’re Teaching me
FAITH is the Key

And when I make it through this Storm, in the Break of Day
All the questions of my Pain will finally fade away

Faith is the Key
Faith is the Key
I know that there is more than I can see
I know there can be Laughter even after Broken Dreams
You’re Teaching me
FAITH is the Key

Believe the Beautiful!
