CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Power of Believing

One of the greatest abilities God has given each of us is our ability to believe. If you believe, you can be successful. If you believe, you can overcome mistakes of the past. If you believe, you can fulfill your God-given destiny. There is incredible power in what we believe.

What you believe is greater than what the medical report says. We respect medical science, but God has the final say. When you get in agreement with God and believe what He says about you, then what you believe can supersede any natural law.

What you believe is greater than what is in your bank account. I have a friend who came to the country with nothing but the clothes on his back. Today, he runs a Fortune 500 company. Against all odds, he believed he could do what God put in his heart.

Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:19 that we would understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for those who believe. Notice the power is activated only when we believe. That means right now the Creator of the universe is just waiting to release healing, restoration, favor, promotion, and abundance. The only catch is that we have to believe.

Sometimes, God will put a promise in your heart that seems impossible, a promise that says, “You will be healthy. You will start a business. You will meet the right person and get married.”

It’s easy to think, “It’s never happening to me. I’ve been this way too long. I’ve made too many mistakes. The medical report is too bad. Nobody in my family has been successful.”

We can always come up with excuses. But instead of talking yourself out of it, just respond with three simple words, “Lord, I believe.”

God says your children will be mighty in the land.

“Lord, I believe.”

God says He will restore the years that were stolen. He will bring you to a flourishing finish. “Lord, I believe.”

God says whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. You will lend and not borrow, be the head and never the tail. Now, don’t come up with five reasons why that will not happen. Your response should be: “Lord, I believe.”

When you get in agreement with God, the incredible greatness of His power is activated.

In the Scripture a man came to Jesus and said, “My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will You come to my home and pray for her?”

Jesus agreed, but along the way He kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally word came back to Him saying, “No need to come. You’ve waited too late. The little girl has died.”

The people were very distraught, but Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. If you will only believe, the little girl will be well.”

Notice the phrase “only believe.” Jesus went to the home, prayed for the little girl, and she came back to life. You, too, may be facing situations that seem impossible. In the natural you can’t see how you could ever be healthy, how you could overcome the addiction, or how your family could ever be restored.
