Lay Hold By Believing

Hebrews 3:18-19 (ESV)
"And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief."

When we considered rest consciousness and I said it comes with ease, your natural mind could have been on the offence.

The possibility of doubt could have set in. It sounds too good to be true. You might begin to say "It's not that easy. The economy is melting, and so on."

That's where the enemy (Satan) attacks. He makes you go rational and logical that you don't impress the Word you receive into your heart.

Don't you know, we belong to a different kingdom. We are in this world but not of this world.

The anchor text of today shows us that some of the children of Israel did not enter into the rest God promised them because of their unbelief.

Just like in the old covenant, you can be denied access into your promise and inheritance in the new covenant because of unbelief.

The truth is that any part of the scripture that doesn't work for you or doesn't materialize is that which you refuse to believe.

You heard the word, received the word but did not allow it find expression.

This is why some Christians can express God's grace in divine healing but still struggle with their finances and vice versa.

The issue is that we often think "believing" is a one time event. So we take in the Word then after sometime begin to let go because we think it is taking too long.

Your "believing" is a CONTINUOUS PROCESS. That's where the True Test of Faith comes. For the trying of your faith works out patience.

For you to draw into the Grace that will raise you to your desired future, you need to be a Rugged and Resilient Believer in the Word of God (Word of Grace)

Action Point:

WRITE DOWN 5 scriptures that address your need(s) and spend 10 minutes daily seriously impressing them into your heart by meditation.

Prayer Point:

Father, I believe your word of grace. I lay hold on your promises concerning my present and future. None will elude me in Jesus name.
