(Gen 15:5-6 NKJV) Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” {6} And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
Believing is when everything within us says yes and amen to whatever it is that we need to believe in or believe for.
For instance, when God said to Abram, “so shall your descendants be”… at that very moment, everything in Abram believed what God said. At that very moment, if there was anything trying to bring doubt or confusion, etc., Abram had to shut it down and believe what God was saying to him, versus anything that might have tried to get him to think otherwise.
That is when it became belief! God knew that Abram believed with His whole being and at that moment the Word that was spoken to Abram became real and alive! The journey began. You see, God’s Word mixed with Belief makes it alive!
When Abram believed God, it says He accounted it to him for righteousness. Wow!! This is something we can shout about!
How many times does God give us a Word and a part of us says yes and the other part says HOW? Well, don’t try to figure out the how, it will destroy the belief. Just let the part of you that says YES and Amen rule and reign over the part that says how.
God is looking for a people that will stop trying to figure Him out and just say YES with everything in us!!
