It's Not Enough To Believe in God


It's an easy thing to think that because you believe in God, that is enough to cause you to be successful and have your prayers answered.  It's not!  Many people who believe in God never see miracles or experience His involvement in their lives.  They are very serious about their efforts but it seems they are not a lot different than non believers that they know.  Faith is a very specific life.  Faith is not an exercise of belief in a system of rules or even a belief in God.  For the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, faith is a believing in the God that is in you!  Let me say it a different way: It's not enough to believe in God, you must believe in the God in you!


The revelation of God in you earth shaking!  It's like one of the old cowboy and indian movies where the cowboys are surrounded and they are waiting on the Cavalry to arrive and save them.   True believers who are filled with the Holy Spirit aren't waiting on the Calvary to arrive.  Yes, they get into situations that are bigger than they and yes, at times they feel overwhelmed.  However, at that moment this Truth makes all the difference in the world (and heaven).  It is that faith in the God who lives in you that causes the believer to rise to the occasion and that faith in what is within releases supernatural power to bring the remedy!  It requires a daily exercise of faith in practicing the presence of God.  This is when you learn what it means to "pray without ceasing".  Begin today!  Believe in the Jesus who resides inside you and is actively engaged in your daily life.  However, you must believe in Him and that he is not a visitor but one who makes his habitation within you.
