BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS

“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1 KJV)
Whose report do you believe? It is what you believe that will determine what you say. The Bible states very clearly that you shall have whatsoever you say (Mark 11:23). Beloved, it does not require faith to believe in defeat, failure and lack. You don’t need faith to be afraid, because it is more often in line with your experience. However, faith is required to believe for victory. You need faith to believe in God for your healing and for provision. The Bible tells us that the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17) and that faith pleases God. We are called believers because we believe God.
Beloved, whatever you believe is what will manifest. So, if you want to know what you believe, check through your life, and find out what is manifesting, then you will know exactly what you believe. Our text above lets us know clearly what it takes for the arm of the Lord to be revealed; believe the report of the Lord. You cannot go on believing wrongly and expect that good things will manifest, no, it does not work that way. I know that things MAY not be going right, I know there are difficulties and challenges facing you, but in the midst of that, you must hold on to what God’s Word says concerning you, and never let go.
Even in the face of contradictory evidence, you are who God says you are. You have what He says you have. You can do what He says you can do. Only believe! Your part is not to know how it will happen. Your part is to believe what He says, and He will figure out how to bring it to pass. Mary said I don’t know how this will happen, but be it unto me, according to your Word (Luke 1:38). What are you going to believe about your business and career? What are you going to say about your future? Remember that because you will have what you say.
