DON’T TALK YOURSELF OUT OF IT!

Isaiah 55:8-9 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

When God calls us healed and prosperous we may look at our present circumstances and say well I’m not healed, I’m not prosperous, because we can’t see the healing. In fact we may feel really poorly so we talk ourselves out of it and contradict God with our words.

God said He had made Abraham a Father of many nations (past tense) when he had no children! (Romans 4:17) Abraham could have said but that’s a lie, I don’t even have one child, how can I say I’m a father of many nations? But v.20-22 says Abraham was fully convinced and believed God.

We’re told God cannot lie so whatever He says about us must be the real truth, not what we can see and feel, because God sees in the Spirit realm. God calls things that are not yet manifest in this physical realm, as though they were, because He knows they are that way in the Spirit realm. We can pray for the release into the physical what’s already present in our spiritual being. That’s huge!

Ephesians 5:1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. So when He says by Jesus wounds we are healed, (1 Peter 2:24) then we are to say the same, because as far as God is concerned, we are. We don’t deny the facts we see, but we call it like God sees it. He doesn’t want us to talk ourselves out of our healing, our prosperity, but into it. 

God sees us healed, He sees us prosperous  now our job is to agree with Him and make what we say line up with what He says, even if we can’t see it yet. He calls it walking by faith and faith is the evidence of things not seen, and faith pleases God. God does it differently!!🙂

God’s thoughts and ways may not make any sense to our minds but we have to forsake our thoughts and ways and come up higher to imitate Him and walk in the faith He’s given us, but it’s our choice. Are we willing to surrender our thoughts, what we can see and feel, and instead talk it and walk it like God does, by faith? 

Abraham did indeed become the father of many nations because He believed and said what God said. I want to learn to do the same. How about you?🙂 Lord open the eyes of our understanding. Amen.
