Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, Brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the Living God.
The Book of Hebrews is written for believers, not for the spiritually lost. The Holy Spirit inspired the writer to say, “Take heed, Brethren.” It might be translated, “be careful, believers. Watch and beware of those among you (believers) who are departing from the Living God because of the evil spirit of unbelief."
Unbelief is of the enemy and will quickly rob a person of all faith in God and His ability to save, heal, and deliver. God is able to do literally anything, and if we don’t believe that, we have what the Word of God calls an evil heart of unbelief.
It’s interesting to read and hear testimonies of God’s Power in other countries where there is little to no hope in the power of people. In these places, the people are living in complete desperation and therefore, they easily believe. There is nothing else for them to believe in so when they hear the Gospel of Christ and the Message of the Cross, they believe! They find Hope for the first time in their lives and they believe! This is where we see great moves of God because the people simply believe!
To believe in God is to have faith in Who He is and What He can do.
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (Matthew 15:28)
And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” (Mark 5:34)
And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. (Acts 14:8-10)
Christian churches are filled every week with “believers” who have no faith. They are stricken with the spirit of unbelief and the church is DEAD spiritually. Nothing happens there because the spirit of unbelief is far greater than the Spirit of Faith.
People call themselves “believers.” Believers in what? What do you believe God did, is doing, and can do? Many say they believe God can do anything, but they don’t really. This is giving God “lip service.” God doesn’t want lip service. He wants people with REAL FAITH to believe He can REALLY do ANYTHING!
EVERYTHING about God takes Faith; REAL FAITH. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Without faith there is no hope. Without faith there is no salvation, healing or deliverance. Without faith there is NOTHING.
However, WITH Faith there is everything! Everything and anything is available to us IF we have enough Faith!
God is calling His People to REAL FAITH in HIM! UNENDING, UNLIMITED…...FAITH!
Real Faith will……..turn the tide
