Take Control of Your Life (II)

Beloved,
Remember, nothing happens naturally before it has already happened spiritually. You must believe this. If you do not take this as truth, then your life will always be limited and at the mercy of someone else’s spirituality.  In this series, we study this supernatural formula: Belief + Understanding + Authority as the believers means of solving problems.  You cannot resolve issues by a means you have not resolved to believe. You cannot decide to be a Christian yet choose not to believe that Jesus Christ’s way of dealing with matters is the best way. Your belief plays a critical role in what can work for you.  Even in the natural world, your medication can hardly work for you if you don’t believe that it will.
The devil loves to expose you to what can take over your mind. If he can introduce you to information that is contrary to what you said you believed when you declared Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then He can get you to believe and confess his lies until you are no longer an effective problem solver. As a child of God and a professed believer there are a few things you must believe. You must believe in God. You must believe in yourself, and you must believe in the reality of the spirit realm. Some Christians say they are Christians and yet their actions, confessions and especially, their outcomes in life will tell you they don’t believe in any of these fundamental Kingdom essentials.  But you, brethren must believe.  Believe in the name of Jesus.  Believe in the power of your salvation and all God has made available to you. Believe in how God says things work and how He says things will always work out for you IF you continue to believe in Him. You can never be blessed or fully enjoy the benefits of what you do not believe in. Your belief has a strong authority. It carries a strong force. Jesus would ask people first He healed them, “do you believe?” You only get the wonderful things of God to last in your life if you believe
