Believers, do you believe?

What separates us from an unbeliever? It is our faith you say. But do you believe in Jesus and His resurrected power? Do you believe He can save you, heal you, redeem you, forgive you, wash you white as snow?

You see, I believe that most of us believers are actually walking in unbelief, trying to put on an act that we do believe.

Now before you click away to another page that is more uplifting, before condemnation seeps into your skin…wait just a second cause it’s not my intention to condemn you.

Let Me!

God said two simple words to me last week that showed me how much I still don’t believe in who He says He is. He said to me, “let me.” 

With those two little words, He spoke profoundly into my heart. Though I heard only those two words, my heart heard much more. 

God was saying, let me help you, save you, redeem you, heal you, fight for you, speak up for you, love you, be there for you. He saw how I’ve been doing most of it by myself and it has worn me out. I’ve failed at being God in my life because that’s not my responsibility nor ability. 

God, will you let me down too? 

I began to see that I was afraid that by believing in His truth, God would let me down. If I actually believed that He’s just, if I let go of that individual’s wrongs, He would forget about it and not do anything despite what the Word commands and promises,“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord” (Romans 12:19). 

If I gave in and gave thanks in all things through prayer and petition made my needs known, then God would forget my sorrows when it says, “Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll—are they not in your record?” (Psalm 56:8)

I was afraid that God would be like man, be like me. I had bought into a lie about His character, but He has come to give me grace to believe and hold fast to the truth. 

Sometimes we can train ourselves to act so Christian we even fool ourselves into believing where we’re at with the Lord. But the Lord permits life to expose each and every unbelief, because He wants His truth to set us free from every single bondage. He wants His words of life to take root and He’s faithful to make it happen. 

Lord, let Your Word run swiftly and let it be glorified in our lives. Catch all the little foxes. I let You be God in my life. Help me. -Amen 

(If you feel led, please pray for me. Been feeling accused by the enemy about my blog posts. I know what he says is not true, so I’m fighting. Thanks so much!)
