Prove God and Know that He is Real
May 20, 2017
Devotions:
Have you ever proven the word of God for yourself? That is taken a promise and stood on it and seen God make it real in your life? God says that He watches over His word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12 Until you take a promise of God and see Him fulfill it in your life, you have no proof that God really does exist and that the Bible is real. The more we act on His word by believing and expecting Him to fulfill His word in our lives and acting like it is true the more we will see God fulfill His word to us. We do not have to wait for the big things to believe God's word, if we start with the small things like a soar knee and learn to use our faith to see our knee healed. David started by defeating the lion and the bear so when it came to Goliath, David already had proven God and he had confidence that God would move on his behalf against Goliath. David ran to the battle armed with just a sling shot against a fully armored, fully equip the giant. We can start believing God for an extra shirt or shoe laces. The more that we use our faith the more we know how to use it and to more we see God's goodness demonstrated in our lives. Then instead of intellectual arguements against unbelievers and people of other religions, we have testimonies of the reality of God in our lives. When we are believing God for something we can make it as hard as we can and it is no problem for God. We just do not want to get out beyond what we can believe.
When we experiential know that God will keep His promises then we can act of
James 1:2
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
James 1:2-4 KJV
Our faith in God's word works patience which produces what we are believing from God.
God's word will always prove true for you if you will believe it and act on it.
