Now That I Believe, I Must Know!
Now That I Believe, I Must Know!
Genesis 22 1 Corinthians 2:9
JEHOVAH-JIREH (Jĕ hō vah-jī´ rĕh)
Place-name meaning “Yahweh will provide” Genesis 22:14. The name Abraham gave to the place where the Lord provided a sacrifice in place of Isaac. Modern translations translate the place-name whereas KJV transliterates it. See Jehovah. Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary.
From The Beginning, God blessed us with endless provisions - He never stops providing for those Whom He loves - He always has a method of provision for you, regardless the threat, the circumstance, the weight of worry, the despair, God will always Provide! “Man’s extremity, is God’s Opportunity, to Get His Glory Out Of This!”
Genesis 18:13 “13 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’”
With natural seeing, it seems impossible, but with God, Whom is Spiritual/Supernatural, all things are possible. . .
I understand Sarah laughter - because when your thinking has been ingrained by the natural all of these years, what else would change so suddenly after such a long time!
Why would it change? I have been barren all of these years, I have came to accept the fact that this is not for me, or it must not be for me, so now I have convinced myself that it will never be for me!
On the contrary when God Speaks - Because I believe in Him, I know that His Word must come to pass!
Therefore; Matthew 10:40 (NKJV) 40 "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
When God’s Word goes forth, and you receive, you are literally coming into agreement with God’s Plan for your life - And this is why you will know, it does not matter what is being presented to me, God Always Provides!
His Word never fails - I know this because I have seen His Word Work in my life and for me to allow the current circumstance to derail me from believing that because of what seem to be insurmountable from the vantage point I chose to view from, does not negate The Power of God’s Provisional Word!
Now That I Believe, I Must Know!
Being Fully Persuaded Keeps Me In Perfect Peace
Being Fully Persuaded Keeps Me In Perfect Peace
Greek Word: πληροφορέω Transliteration: plērophoreō Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.“Be fully persuaded” - English Words used in KJV: be fully persuaded 2 be most surely believed 1 be fully known 1 make full proof of 1 from <G4134> (pleres) and <G5409> (phoreo); to carry out fully (in evidence), i.e. completely assure (or convince), entirely accomplish :- most surely believe, fully know (persuade), make full proof of.
Notice how Abraham did not miss a step, he heard from God and obeyed His Voice and went to moving forward!
It is obvious to me from the beginning that Abraham had a peace about this assignment because he did not attempt to figure out the sacrifice, he was just certain, without any doubt, God Will Provide - Son!
Examine your state as you are right now and see if we are ready to adhere to The Voice of God and move when He says to move!
Have we humbled ourselves enough to receive instructions that may seem to be crazy, but because God said it, my knowing Him, keeps me in perfect peace!
I don’t need to rationalize it
I don’t need to understand what God is doing - All I know that when God’s Voice has instructed me to do, I trust what He says, period!
The reason we have unsettling moments in our live is because we allow our Peace to be moved - Jesus Christ commanded “Peace, be still. . .” How we allow what Christ commanded to be still; we let it be moved?
Let me help you - It is because of our knowing too much - Our knowing hinders you from understanding and receiving what you don’t know!
1 Corinthians 2:9 “9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.””
The reason you continue to be tossed too and fro, is because you won’t release the old you and allow The New You to fully be persuaded by The Power of God!
There is no Father like our Father, Who Art In Heaven . . . That will allow us to partake in His Glory, which will provide us Joy everlasting!
The old you will hinder you from receiving the Peace that surpasses all understanding because that mind will always require natural evidence in order to secure your peace!
But the Bible says; Romans 8:24-25 “24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”
Wisdom out ranks knowledge - The more you allow yourself to experience The Presence of God, the more you realize that He is for me, nothing can be against me!
God always provides for you, and for me, there is no good He will withhold from those whom trust and know Him! You must stop plugging up your ears to The Truth of God and fully be persuaded by His Word! “He that has an ear, let him hear. . .” Isaiah 64:4 “4 For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Do not allow your own thinking to cause you to miss out on the blessings of God! Judges 2:19-20 (NKJV) 19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way. 20 Then the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,
You see, God had already provided Joshua and the Children of Israel, the promise land, the place flowing with everything they could ever need, but yet, because they either were not taught by the elders, or they disobeyed what they were taught, nevertheless, they followed their own understanding!
And because of their disobedience, and because they wouldn't heed the Voice of God, He no longer would drive out before them. . . .
We know, God will go before you and make what's before you, to come into subjection to you, but only when you rely on His will and not your own!
This is why you must be fully persuaded by His Word!
Because what you think you need, may not be what God plan for you to have, and you must know Him in order to be fully persuaded by His Plan regardless of the instructions He has given!
Jacob, would not let go, because he was fully persuaded that The Lord would bless him. . .
Abraham, was fully persuaded that God will provide for Him, a sacrifice!
Jesus, was fully persuaded, that not My Will be done, but Your Will Father!
When you know He Always Provides - You will step out on the water, regardless of the surrounding threats. . .
