I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. Isaiah 46:9 How much do you know about God? Do you believe in who He says He is? Read Matthew 16: 13-19. As you read this passage, keep in mind that as we apply them to God the Father, these are Christ’s own words that the Father and He are One. John 10: 30. Where do you get your information about who God is? From books, media, friends, religious people, or religious leaders? If you are an active believing God follower, you have to hold everything you learn…

Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me about. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives me more time to…

How To Believe God
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 Do you want to live your life believing God? Faith pleases God. It invites incomparable divine intervention in our lives. How do we believe God? Or a better question would be, “How do we get it?” We can’t pretend our faith. We have to receive it from Him to offer it back. Our initial faith to believe Christ for salvation comes from the work and conviction of the Holy Spirit. In the following scripture, we will discover how to receive faith to practice more of our faith. Read Galatians 5:22-23. What is…

Credited As Righteousness
What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:3 The four motivations are Incomparable power (Ephe. 1:19), The pleasure of God (Heb. 11:6a), Reward Heb. 11:6b), and God will often act according to our faith (Matthew 9:29). Read Romans Chapter 4. What jumps out at you in this chapter? Take a look at verse 12. What kind of legacy did Abraham leave behind? Do you want to leave that kind of legacy? Take a moment to reread verse 3. Meditate on verse 3! This statement is also originally stated in Genesis 15: 6. This must be important…

According To Our Faith
He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith, will it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29 What is it that stops you from having a relationship with God? Is it the rules, have to give up things in your life that you really enjoy? Are you riding the fence of trying to follow both God and your desires? We won’t change the rules; however, let’s try to understand why God does what he does. God is all-wise. He wants an active relationship with each of us. Let’s see what Christ teaches about faith. Read the following passages. Matthew…

Pleasure and Reward
Without faith, it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:5 Read the above verse several times. We will digest this verse throughout this week. What is at stake as we make our faith a present active particle verb? Read Ephesians 1:19. What does God choose to exert in the lives of those who continually accept the challenge to believe Him? Read Hebrews 11:6. What are the two additional motivations for believing in God? Hebrews 11:6 uses the Greek word euaresteo. Strong’s definition of please is…

The Act of Believing
His incomparable great power for us who believe . . . it’s like the working of his mighty strength, Ephesians 1:19 Do you have faith? Do you believe that faith is the best option? Faith brings God-ordained provision. However, the absence of faith carries a huge cost. Faith is without equal in its effects on our lives because God is without equal, and faith is the invitation he answers with proof. What is faith? Take a look at the Greek word “pistis.” Pistis means assurance, belief, belief, faith, fidelity. The words faith, belief, believing, and believe are translated from the word “pistis.” Faith is a noun and a…
