CALL THING THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE !

CALL THING THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE ! Many are calling things in their life that they do not want as they are ! It is simply because they do not understand the law of speech; which is simply the law of seed time and harvest ! Abram, the father of our faith, prove that beyond any shadow of a doubt. He kept building his faith until he got to the point where he was fully persuaded--- despite every circumstance to the contrary--- that he was old and his barren, old wife were going to have a baby. And he did it by walking out the process I just outlined. He started by making a quality decision to believe God's WORD. Many said that they believe God's WORD; but they do not believe the way God says to believe according to the Scripture. You will hear many people say, "I believe God with all my heart." However, it is not with the heart that they are believing; it is with their head or what their five senses is telling them. The apostle Paul says it is with the heart man or the inner man that we believe ,The soul of a man, is made up of his will, his emotions, and his intellect: your thinker is the part that has to go past your feelings, your emotions, and your your way of intellectual thinking. You and I could not believe with the blood pump of the human heart. The heart that the Scriptures is referring to is the soul, that part of your mind. and confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 4:3) says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted onto him for righteousness." He meditated on that Word of THE BLESSING and spoke it... And spoke it... And spoke it, by calling himself the father of many nations, until that Word of THE BLESSING absolutely took control of his mind. Verses 16-21 says it this way: "... Abraham; who is the father of us all... Before him [God] whom he believed, even God, who quickens (makes alive) the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was Spoken, So shall thy seed be. Abraham simply said what God had said ! And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he has promised, he was able also to perform. Notice, that to walk in faith, Abraham had to do what God does. He had to call things that be not as though they were. Who taught him how to do that ? God did. Abraham didn't have anyone else to teach him. There weren't any words of faith preachers Sent to him. So God Himself instructed Abram as he went along. He taught him how to think and talk according to THE BLESSING. He told him to get away from his relatives and the rest of the moon worshipers in his hometown and then introduced him to a whole new way of living. God's ways made Abram look a little strange to everyone else, but in the end, everyone agreed that God's and Abraham strange ways produced results. If you're living by feelings or by what you can see, people don't think that you are strange: If you live by faith, people will think you're strange too, so you might as well get ready for it when you start calling things that be not as though they were, they'll make fun of you. If you tell them you're just doing what God did and Abram did and that what God does, they may even get mad at you. Because, of their religious tradition has taught them otherwise ! That has happened to me. People actually became angry with me and said, "who do you think you are, running around acting like a little Jesus ?" If they'd been willing to listen, I could have told them who I am And how God's biblical method works, if they would do what He said. I'm a follower of Christ, and I'm obeying the instructions in (Ephesians 5:1) "Therefore be imitators of God as dear children" in part, many are imitating the their father the devil ! The word imitator used in the verse comes from the Greek word which means "to mimic." We're supposed to mimic God the way children mimic their parents. Therefore, if He calls things that be not as though they were, we should, too.
