PEACE IN BELIEVING

Anytime you set yourself to believe God’s Word as it is; there is the peace which passes all understanding that floods the whole of your being. Whenever you contend or seek to rationalize the Word given to you by the Lord, crisis happens. The Word of God is meant for you to believe and anytime you set yourself to believe simply, it’s peace like a river. In most cases; you may really not be able to comprehend it, but you are meant to believe it.
The angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and told her – “Thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring a son, and shalt call His name JESUS”. Mary said to the angel – “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, “the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God” Luke 1:31, 34-35.

It was something too “technical” for Mary’s comprehension, but she chose to believe all the same. It is always a matter of choice! She replied the angel and said – “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy Word” Luke 1:38. If you choose to understand before you believe, you will never really be able to believe God for anything. Scriptures affirm – “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” Romans 11:33. There is peace in believing God’s Word as it is; because, faith is calling those things that be not, as they were.
Take the Word and go; take it as you have been told, believe it as strange as it may sound and you shall enjoy true peace. Take the Word and build a guard around it; because the devil will seek to infiltrate to question your “fanaticism” in believing God’s Word without seeking to analyze it. All he is out to do is to declare you wrong in believing the Word as you claim to have received it from the Lord. He wants you to subject it in a round table dialogue with him. You got to rise in all firmness and let the devil know; that, if it is wrong to believe God’s Word as it is and enjoy true peace, then you will never be right.
