Whose Report Will You Believe?

I believe God is seeking men and women who will take Him at His word.

Men and women who hold fast to God’s word regardless how desperate the hour or impossible the situation. Men and women who rather believe God than give way to their emotions and circumstance. They shut out the voices that say nothing will change or get better.

They place their trust in Christ and toss aside the reports that things are getting worse (and it could be true) to accept God’s report for their lives. They are not found ensnared by the media reports of war, famine and disease. The heard the doctor's report but faith arises in their heart that God is still a healer.

Their report is based on His character that He is faithful, compassionate, loving and His mercy endures forever.

When we cling to His word, there is a rising anticipation of God doing the miraculous which gives way to hope. All other reports can be frustrating leaving you in a state of despair. Beloved, God will see us through. He is for us and not against us. Since we have hope, our faith increases to believe God for the impossible no matter our natural state or condition.

Remember in Hebrews 11:1 it says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.” Through Christ, we have this hope, that we can obtain His report and it will become evident in the natural.

In speaking of Christ, the Messiah, Isaiah writes, "Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" (Isaiah 53:1, NIV).

To believe God's report requires us to ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to His reality - God sees things very differently than we do - so it requires us to perceive His report by faith.

Believe Him, beloved. God's report is higher, true and will bring good news in desperate times.
