My Response Is According To My Belief In Him!

How I Say, Matters!

You all have heard that action speak louder than words - This is why God says; “Matthew 15:8 “8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.”

They would say the right things, but because their hearts were stiffened by their own righteousness, their actions did not align with their words!

The enemy desires to frustrate you so, and cause so much confusion within you, that your response is seen as confused to what you say you believe!

We all know that when we are tested, God has allowed the enemy to send trouble your way, but because you have knowledge of The Living God, Whom is faithful and true, and The Holy Spirit Who dwells in you, is Powerful, when you release Him to be Who He is; the testing only increases my belief and faith in God!

Emotions can cause you to respond contrary to The Will of God -

Therefore, I am not hasty in my response because I know that I must honor God in all that I say and do, so I check myself before I wreck myself because words dissipate, but actions imitate what really is being said because The Word of God says Proverbs 4:23 “23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”

Ahab did more to provoke God to anger, than all the kings of Israel had done - that is saying a lot, but because his response was not to please God, but his feelings/emotions. . . He married Jezebel - worshipped baal - honored baal - and when God sent the messenger to him, so that he could be told Who is truly in control, he refused to receive The Word!

Jezebel is not just a person, but an influencing spirit of the enemy, and if you are not grounded in The Truth, you will see what Jezebel says and it will move you! Remember, I told you all from the first message in this series that “I Am Not Greatly Moved. . .” Well that is because I do not rely on my power, but The Power of The Holy Spirit - And because I believe in God and His Promises, He reminds me that after-while, it will all make sense. . .

After = Following an order in time | While = A period of time, to turn - to revolve. . .

After Elijah defeated the prophets of baal, he executed them and went on his way, but Ahab responded from emotions, sharing with his wife all that Elijah had done, and then she responded from her own righteousness, sending a scathing message to Elijah, and the Bible says 1 Kings 19:3 “3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.” What is your response when you see what they said? Remember, actions speak louder than words, and we tend to respond accordingly with “How they said it!” And if you are not settled in The Power of God and who you are in the earth, when you see what that spirit says, it will provoke you to moving outside of The Will of God!

I believe that Jezebel is not external, but thoughts that attempt to remove our focus from God, and we know that it can be difficult at times to over come “me,” but that is not the fight you need to fight, because you have The Knowledge of God, what have you allowed to interrupt the connection to Who God is to you!

He is my Doctor!

He is my Lawyer!

He is my Redeemer!

He is my Voice!

Romans 10:8–10 “8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Because I believe in my heart that He Lives, He is not dead, I don’t look for the living amongst the dead, because He Rose and because I know that He lives, I seek to establish God’s Righteousness, regardless of the threats, or temptations, I will not run from that, I will stand!

And when it gets weary, and I have reached my limits, I will call on Him!

Romans 10:13 “13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””

Elijah executed those false prophets - I too am executing those false thoughts, that rise up, tempting me to move away from The God that I know! And I know that I can call on Him, Who saves!

My Response Is According To My Belief In Him!

So when you ask why I am saying that, when it seems as if I may be delirious, and seems as if I am out of touch with reality; don’t hinder me, for I believe that I have the power to speak those things that be not, as though they were!

For Christ is the end of the law, to everyone who believes - therefore, regardless of what murphy’s law say - My God says that I am victorious - I am above and not beneath!

Elijah allowed what he saw, to move him, but because I have the evidence of how he came up out of that cave; I too will not enter into the cave and flee, because I am fully persuaded that faith is literally operating in an unfamiliar place, without the knowledge of that place, causing navigating it to become intimidating, but because we know that God has gone before us, we are settled in our walk, thus we remain confident in all things knowing that Romans 8:31–33 “31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.”

Because my “A Truth” does not have a foundation that will remain - I must believe in The Truth - The Way The Life!

Isaiah 28:16 “16 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.”
