BELIEVE GOD ABOVE ALL ELSE

January 30

hild of God, are you having problems with your head again? You know what I mean. Are you having a little crisis of believing God about some matter? It seems that your mind is so often getting in the way of your faith. Want some real help? When you engage your mind to try to logically figure out a spiritual idea, you make a big mistake. Your mind is "geared" to work on the earth in a natural context. You are told in the word of God that you will not be able to "figure out" God or His ways with you in your life. In fact, true faith in God is to say, "Father, I put in a place of preeminence your word and promises to me, and I place far below that my logic and fleshly reasoning." When you do this, you realize why the Bible says, "But the natural man (naturally fleshly thinking man) doth not receive the things of God, neither indeed can he/she know them, for they are spiritually discerned." (I Corinthians 2:14) Oops! Child of God, do not allow your mind to draw conclusions and mislead you when the Father's word to you in the Bible is already clear as a bell! You may say, "Father, I have trouble doubting my salvation; I am not sure about divine healing; I sometimes fear the devil!" Child of God, all these thoughts are natural doubts and fears that affect all my children. Here's what you do and say: "Father, I will not listen to my natural mind, instead, I will remember your word to me about all things. I will speak out your word and give it the highest place in my life and walk with you." Now, you see, you are now moving solidly into the realm of true faith in Christ and His word. You should say, "I am a word person. I listen and take full acceptance of “every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4 NKJV) Beloved, this is your bread from heaven. It will sustain you, grow you, heal you, guide you, bless you, and on the day of your death, that word will carry you into the very presence of your Father to live forevermore! This is great news, huh? You bet. Your Father really loves you and cares for you!

O Lord God, what a great Friend to me you are. What would I do without your constant companionship through the Holy Spirit? I am glad that I don't have to find out! You are "with me, never leaving me until the end of the age." (Matthew 28:20 NKJV) I praise you with all my heart and all that lies within me. I am so blessed to change my confession from my fears and doubts to your perfectly proven words to me in the Bible. I bless your holy name in Jesus’ name, amen!
