What You BELIEVE Is What You Get
One of the most important spiritual principles for us to understand when we’re standing for marriage restoration is the power of faith, so I was really excited that Pastor Doreen and Dr. Creflo Dollar both had such awesome messages about faith today.
Even though I have heard and read the phrase “according to your faith” so many times before, it never quite took on the awesome meaning it did as I read Pastor Doreen’s message this morning. Today was the first time it fully registered in my mind and spirit that what it REALLY says is that you’ll get WHAT you believe, or what you believe IS WHAT you’ll get. If only we could truly grasp how critically important and true that is! So many of the verses in the Bible about faith could be summed up that way. So if we could get that and then understand how important it is to make sure that the words we speak line up with the things we’re believing in faith, we’d be sending the devil packing! And another passage I read recently that took on a much greater meaning than I remember from before, and confirms the undeniable connection between faith, the things we speak and how that brings glory to the Lord, is 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 which says It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Since it’s so important for us to gain a much better understanding of the faith needed as we stand for the restoration of our marriages, it is my most sincere hope and prayer that we will learn to access the supernatural power of faith and put it into practice as we stand for the full and complete healing and restoration of our marriages and families, because I know we’re all way past ready for that and if we could just BELIEVE it, we’ll GET it!
