This is a series that I believe the Holy Spirit wants me to put in my blog. I pray that the readers will finish reading all parts of the series and get something from it. These are things that we need to do in order to seek the real living God. I am not qualified to write this series because I am also at the learning stage. But, it is God’s Spirit that will speak to you through these articles.
“Believing”
Was there a time in your life that you believed in the existence of flying carpets? Or a genie in a lamp? Or a mermaid? Or a unicorn? Or a troll?
Was there a time in your life when you believed that you were driving a spaceship and battling a whole army of space pirates?
Inspired ng movies at animations na napanood natin when we were kids, these things became so alive in our imaginations to the point of living them out.
May pasab-sabi pa tayo ng “zoom! Zoom!” “take this! take that!” “Haya! Haya!”
I remember those days. Kung iisipin natin, we were so carefree back then. Nothing else matters. We play like they really exist in the real world.
Minsan, we would ask ourselves where was that child. Sometimes we dream of being a child again. Walang inaalala, walang anxieties, no cares or whatsoever. Ang cool siguro noon.
Those fun moments began when we believed the existence of fictional characters. When we believed, they became so alive that we begin to live our lives na parang naroon talaga sila sa tabi natin.
This just proves that ever since we were kids, believing molded or influenced the way we lived. It is a power at work at our early age.
Believing is a powerful aspect of humanity. It is through believing that we showcase the very powerful identity of God as the Creator of life.
Believing is so powerful that it will determine the course of our lives. Kung nasan man ako ngayon, it is the result of the things that I and my parents believed in the past.
Believing highly influences all parts of our being (decisions, words, attitude, emotions, actions). What our heart is full of is what we believe. And what our heart is full of, masasabi’t masasabi natin. And when we speak, there is unseen power released.
You probably have encountered what they call the law of attraction. If you believe positive things like success, success will eventually come your way. The law of attraction imposes a half-truth. But all half-truths are lies. It is a perversion of God’s Word. It removes God from this truth.
Sa totoo lang, mahirap i-apply ng law of attraction in our everyday lives. Let’s get real! It is hard to remain a positive thinking attitude all the time. Kunwari kasama ka sa isang holdapan scene at may pinatay na sa harap mo. Do you really think you can still keep a positive thinking for this situation? Mahirap kapag walang basis.
Kaya nga applying this so-called law in Christianity is easy because we have a basis – what Jesus has done for us. That no matter what we go through in life, even if it is face-to-face with death, the promises of God is sure because Jesus already paid for it on the cross once and for all!
The law of attraction explains to us why God is after our belief system or our FAITH. It is God who established the quote-unquote law of attraction.
He made us in His own image and likeness. Things happen according to what God believes and speaks. So when we speak, what we speak happens eventually. God wants to take hold of our belief because He knows this is how He will be able to manifest Himself to us.
Ang demonyo, gaya-gaya puto-maya. What God is after, the devil is also after. If the devil convinces us to believe his clever lies, we die. His job never really changed ever since the temptation at the garden.
Believing is a God-given power to all of us. Whoever or whatever holds our belief system controls our entire being.
If you believe that you are poor and there is no way out, then that will be according to what you believe.
If you believe that you will fail, you will fail.
But if you believe that you will succeed, you will!
Believe is an overused word without really knowing what it truly means. People say they believe but deep inside, they doubt. That ain’t believing. The power of believing will only work if there is no doubt.
Example: Do you believe that if you jump from the 23rd floor, you will fall?
I will hear a quick and sure ‘yes.’ That is believing without a doubt.
I will suppose that those who read this have not tried jumping from the 23rd floor of a tower.
Can you believe that you will not fall when you jump off from the 23rd floor of a building?
…..
If your answer is no (mine is no), then it would mean we do not believe that we can stay afloat when we jump from the 23rd floor. Tomo diba? Then our believing power starts working now. We will say “it isn’t possible.” Then power is released that will influence our entire self. And you got it, we will never dare jump off from a 23rd floor.
But if one of us now believes that yes, he can. Yes, there is a way for him to stay afloat after jumping from the 23rd floor of a tower without a single doubt. Power begins to work when he speaks “I believe there is a way.” It will begin to influence his entire being. His mind will work according to what he believed. He will do what it takes to prove that what he choose to believe is true. And when he succeeds, he will be like a fire, quickly influencing the world.
Well, two boys had a mustard seed (small) faith that believed there is a way to fly. The power of believing worked, defied all odds they encountered and the first airplane was birthed. And they made a big difference in the lives of many. It changed the face of the world! That powerful!
So what is believing?
It is a personal choice to accept something presently not seen as TRUE or POSSIBLE or EXISTING. And because you believe, you will live like it is presently true, possible and existing!
This is so like God! How come?
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
Explain! Explain!
Was there light in the beginning? Wala. Did God believe there can be light? Yer! Otherwise, He will not say what He said. If God did not believe that it is possible to have light in the middle of darkness, He might have said “It is so dark here. I can’t see a thang!”
Imagine God saying “’Ay, ang dilim….’ and everything remained dark.”
But God said “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” He would not have said it if He did not believe it.
The enemy will throw at you all kinds of lies for you to believe.
· You’re so not gonna get rich.
· You’re so not gonna pass the exam. Bobo ka eh.
· You’ll be a loser forever.
· You are nothing but a piece of sh…..
· God hates you. God is mad at you.
· You need to work hard in order to gain God’s favor.
· God made Mary the queen of heaven and earth. (In short, a goddess)
· You cannot fly.
· You will not be able to walk again.
· Sickness and disease is normal. Just bear it.
· Poverty is inescapable. So why work hard to escape it?
· You will never make it in life!
If you are not acquainted with God’s Word, you will believe all these lies. And believing a lie will kill any person. Anything that is contrary to the word of God is a lie of the enemy.
Kapag ikaw nadapa, wag mo nang sabihin “ay, nadapa ako.” Sabihin mo, “babangon ako for sure!” Believe that you can rise again and use the power of your words!
Satan uses the world system, philosophies, other religions and even Christian denominations to impart to us a wrong belief system because the enemy knows the moment a person believes only in Jesus as the Son of God, that person will be delivered from the enemy’s hands.
So what does God wants us to believe?
He wants us to believe that we were all condemned to hell because of our sins. But He, through Jesus, paid the price for our sins so that we can live a free open-heaven life. When we die, we will be together with Jesus in heaven.
The enemy knows that if you believe in Jesus Christ and you spoke it, you will be instantly saved from eternal damnation. Satan wants us to end up in hell. That’s his goal. He will use all means possible to get you and me to his place. He will use the best deception of the world and the most lethal sin (pride) to keep us away from the name above every name, Jesus.
The law of attraction is a clever deception. It presents a clear truth, but it takes away God and His word from the scene.
The enemy even succeeded in using the name “Jesus Christ” as a curse word. Or the ever famous ‘oh my God!” in vain. People think it’s okay to do this. They’re deceived.
The promises of the living God are for those who believe. Not only believe, but believe that Jesus is the son of the living God. That He became man and died for our sins. That He rose again and He is alive and is now seated at the Father’s right hand. That He alone has the power to heal, deliver and save! That He wants to prove Himself alive in every area of life through signs, wonders and supernatural manifestations.
If an individual believes without a doubt and starts to declare that Jesus is God and He is Lord and Savior (just like how the Wright brothers declared that it is possible to fly), God’s power will instantly be upon that person and He will see the glory of the living God.
That person is now a legal recipient of God’s never-ending promises.
Once you believe and declare, Jesus Himself will have His rest place in your heart. And where He is, there is no lack, no poverty, no shame, no guilt, no condemnation.
Once we believe and declare, Jesus will become a reality in our lives. Just like how real the fictional characters became when we were a child, this is how real Jesus will be in our lives. He will mold our very character and way of thinking and living. The difference is, Jesus is not a fictional character. He is real because you will experience tangible power. This is the child-like faith he wants from us. Believing just like how a child would believe.
God will never promise a problem-free life. He promises victory after victory after victory. He promises a character that the world longs to see.
Oh, if only people will get this, they are in for the best time of their lives.
You don’t need to be perfect. Abraham was not perfect. But when Abraham believed God, God counted that as righteousness.
6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Genesis 6:15
You just need to believe Jesus to be righteous in the sight of God. All we need to do is to simply believe.
For us who already believes, let us not believe the lie of the devil that God is not in the healing business anymore. That He is not into signs and wonders anymore. If we believers are not operating under the supernatural, it just means something is wrong with our Christian walk. If we do not see the fruits of the Spirit in our lives, something must be wrong.
We must know and believe that God is a supernatural God. God is a spirit. God functions in the spirit realm. He established a law in the spirit realm that directly affects the physical realm. He wants us to know how it works in the spiritual realm so that we can work with Him.
If a believer does not believe in spirits, then he is saying he does not believe in God. Diseases are caused by spirits. Cataclysmic events are caused by principalities in the spiritual realm. The devil does not want us to be aware of the spiritual world because he knows that if we do, he will have no power over us. He keeps us blind to how it works in the spiritual world so that we become defenseless.
Now is the time to advance the Kingdom of the living God on earth! Now is the time to show the world that God supernaturally heals, God supernaturally provides. God is a miraculous God!
How can we prove to the world that God exists if we don’t operate in His power? We must seek for Him more. We, Christians, should be the display of His image, His love and His power! Seek the real God in the spirit and believe that there is so much more from Him.
Ever since I started seeking for the real God, miracles have started happening in my life. Not only to me but also to those whom I pray for. God is beginning to move in my life so powerfully. He is becoming unstoppable because I allow Him to be unstoppable in me. And it’s only just the beginning.
It is only now that I can boldy say, God is truly bigger. I have put Him in a box long enough. He is gonna be very big in my life. So big, it will touch the life of my family, relatives, friends and officemates. This I believe. This I declare in Jesus’ Name.
Exercise your faith. Believe today. Believe tomorrow. Believe the next day. Declare. Declare. Say it out loud. Shout it out loud until what you believe becomes so real and it shall come to pass.
Believe and say this in bold faith!
Father,
I believe in Jesus, your only begotten Son! I believe that He became man and died for my sins. I believe that His body and blood paid the price for the punishment that I was suppose to get. I believe that He did not remain dead! I believe that He rose again on the third day! I believe that He is now with You in heaven, reigning in glory.
I open my heart to Jesus. Jesus, I believe wholeheartedly that you are now my Lord and my Savior. I will live You out just as how I lived out fictional characters when I was a child. You will become so real in my life and so powerful. My love for you will grow more and more and more each day.
In the wonderful, awesome name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Do not forget to read the bible to check out what He has in store for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, real believing is the first key in finding the real God in our lives. For a powerful God can only be found using a powerful tool God bestowed on us – believing.
Without a doubt, we believe that Jesus is God and he died and rose for our sins. He is alive forevermore, reigning in glory and power! Without a doubt He wants to manifest Himself in your life today. Surely, He is all that you will ever need!
