We've been studying God's Original Intent from Genesis 1:26-28. God Blessed mankind and gave them dominion and authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the (tame) beasts of the field and over everything in and on earth. This was and still is, the Original Intention of God's heart, for His family.
We seem to think that "times have changed," and we know more than mankind knew in the beginning. After all, we now have access to the internet, cell phones, You tube, and to an abundance of technology, at our fingertips. Many think that God's Word has become "old fashioned" and "out-of-date." We seemingly accept it when others say, "The God of the old covenant, doesn't or can't do the things we read about in His Word."
Our Heavenly Father's Plan for His family hasn't changed and it's definitely not outdated, because mankind is more civilized today. Even with all our learning and growing, mankind is Light Years behind the Wisdom of God. Teachings about "faith," have become a source of mockery, even in the Church. Many believers don't dare to believe God, beyond the senses, carnal mind and intellect. We've come to rely more on our wisdom, instead of God's Wisdom.
We think that because more believers aren't doing the things found in God's Word, that these things have passed away. The only thing that has passed away, is our ability to believe in what God says. No one had seen the parting of the Red Sea or the miraculous coverings the Israelites received, but God could do what no one had ever seen or heard of. Most of them didn't believe it either, but God is able to do "exceedingly greater and higher, than we can even ask or think."
God didn't create puppets, when He made mankind in His Own Image and Likeness. He created a family. Like Adam, we still have the ability to believe or not to believe today. Jesus said that, "If we believe in our heart and speak to the mountain, then it will move." These things aren't happening because we don't believe in our hearts, that they can happen. We've constructed so many excuses for why God didn't do things today, when He isn't the One Who missed it. It's us. God hasn't lost any of His ability!
Many think it's blasphemous to imply that God still heals, Bless, speaks to us or moves beyond the boundaries religion has set. Many Christians believe it's foolish and a false hope, that God will Bless and protect us during the Covid19 plague. Thankfully, those in the Exodus had sense enough to at least believe Moses, when he said God was leading them out of Egypt. Our faith in God has been reduced to, "going to Heaven after we die" and nothing more.
When many believers are taught about the power of words and watching what we say, they think it's laughable. If we would do our own study of God's Word and learn how both God and Jesus operate, then we would understand it's one of the most powerful Revelations in His Word, even while some dismiss it as "foolishness." When are we going to get back to the Truth of God and what His Word teaches about His family and how we're to live in authority and dominion through the Redemptive Price of Jesus?
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. The only thing that determines God's moving in your life, is what you believe. Even when no one else believes, God will still move in the life of someone who believes Him and allows Him to move, by faith. The woman with the issue of blood, didn't care what the multitude thought or believed. She had set her faith on touching Jesus and being healed. Even though a throng of people were grabbing and touching Him, none were healed, except the woman who had faith in Jesus' ability to heal. Everyone else had heard about the miracles of Jesus, but not all of them put personal faith in it for themselves. Maybe this is the origin of people saying, "God doesn't heal everyone" or "It must not be God's will for everyone to be healed." Nothing prevented anyone in that crowd from believing they could touch Jesus and receive healing, but only Jairus's daughter and the woman with the issue of blood were healed.
If it was God's will for mankind to be sick and down, then He would have provided sickness in the Garden of Eden. Believing that, "You can never know what God will do," is having faith in what man says, instead of what Jesus says. Jesus said, "When you see Me, you see the Father, We are One." If you truly want to know what God will do and what His will for your life is, then WATCH JESUS. If Jesus was doing it, then it was God's will.
We can't allow someone else's lack of faith in God, to cause us to remain under circumstances that God wants to deliver us from. God won't make someone get saved, healed, delivered or walk in the peace He provided for us. He is the Good Shepherd, "Who leads us in the paths of Righteousness for His Name's sake." If we read God's Word by the Revelation the Holy Spirit provides, then we find that everything we could need, has already been provided by Jesus' Sacrifice. Jesus bore the Curse, so that we could walk in Blessing. He bore our sickness and disease, so we could walk in health. Jesus bore our unrighteousness, so we were made the Righteousness of God, in Him.
We've been trying to get God to do for us, that which He has already done for us, in Jesus Christ. Abraham didn't have any children, when God said, "I will make you the Father of many nations." It was already done in God and Abraham only had to believe what God said.
We keep waiting to see and then we'll believe. God said, "Believe and you shall see the Mighty deliverance of the Lord." It doesn't take faith to believe what you already have in your hand or life. The world has trained us about Spiritual principals, instead of our being trained by the Spirit on the world's principals. Just because the world believes something, doesn't make it real. Others might not walk in or accept this, but that doesn't determine how you believe, unless you allow yourself to be led by their way of thinking.
We must need to seek God for ourselves, especially at this time. This doesn't mean that we don't need others, but we can't remain in the Wilderness, simply because ten spies don't believe God's Word is True. The majority chose to believe the reports of these men, instead of God's report and it cost them everything. God still provided for them all, while they remained 40 years in the Wilderness, but they never saw or entered into the Glory God had made ready for them.
If you only believe in Heaven, then you'll still arrive there by Jesus, but you might never see or be a part of the Glorious things God has provided for us, here on earth. Some say, "These things aren't for everyone." They are for everyone who will allow the Father to do it for them and will live with expectation. You can be lulled away by religion or walk in reality. You choose.
