Some Believe it's make---Believe !

SOME BELIEVE IT'S MAKE--BELIEVE : Some will tell you, "You are me are just playing make--believe, confessing all these things. You're just living in a world of make-believe." No, I haven't played church in 20 some hard years now. I left organized religion, program religion. And I start doing what the Bible says and folks it works, I will not be on this platform teaching and preaching if it didn't work. I have not asked for one dime, and my God supplies all my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus based upon the principle of the kingdom. What does the Scripture say ? Does it say, "this is the beginning of make-believe which Jesus did ?" No it doesn't say that. It says, "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee... People may tell you that you are playing make-believe. They may tell you all sorts of things. Religious people who are dogmatic about their own little doctrines and their theology are the most vicious people in the world. That's why you have so many buildings on every other corner or next to each other calling themselves church. Is nothing wrong with the building except when God is not there. Obeyed the principles. Don't try to turn water into gasoline or wine. Many people when they come up against the mountain or situation that life, the first thing you will hear is pray for me. Jesus didn't just sit there and say, "we can't have wine. We don't have wine." He called for some water, and it came. Then He called it wine. He used what was available to call the thing that was needed. Water, which was not wine, brought to nought the need, which was wine. In (Luke 13) Jesus was in the synagogue. Oh I know what you're thinking, "That was Jesus the Son of the living God." Or you a son of God ?, or a daughter of God ? Anyway, Jesus was in the synagogue. "And, behold there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity 18 years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, down or loose from thine infirmity. The Bible records this infirmity as a spirit. (Luke 13:11--12). Jesus called her loosed, but she wasn't loosed. She was still as being over as she ever was. What was Jesus doing ? Was He playing make-believe ? No. He was calling for the team that was not manifest. He was calling for a miracle. We are supposed to be imitating our Lord and Savior. GOD SAYS BEFORE HE DOES : people all over the world say something before they do it. As you study the Bible, natural religion or your church doctrine, you will notice God never does anything until He says it. That's the way He works. And that's the way you and I as born-again believers should act. God has done nothing in the earth without first speaking it. Even now, it seems that God will do nothing in the earth unless it is spoken, prophesied or called for by the prayer of faith. JESUS CALLED THE CROOKED STRAIGHT : When Isaiah prophesied that a virgin would conceive and bear a child, that was 750 years before Jesus was born in the earth. It was prophesied. God always prophesies it before it happens. Jesus operated in the same principle. He walked up to that little woman and said, "you are loosed from your infirmity." But when He said that, she wasn't loosed. He was calling for the thing that was not manifest. "And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." (Luke 13:13). First, Jesus called her the way He wanted her to be. Faith always looks through the storm, not at the storm. Faith always sees the in results. When Jesus walked up to this woman, Hhe could see the end results by His faith, so He just called her the way He saw her by faith, loosed from that infirmity that spirit. Let's look at the story of Lazarus of Bethany in (John 11). "Therefore his sisters said unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, he said, this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." (John 11:3--4). Jesus said, "This sickness is not unto death." What are you going to do with that statement ? For as you read further, you find that Lazarus died.
