Going from Believing to Knowing!

Having a God Consciousness

There is one single word that expresses what God is trying to develop in all our lives. The word is consciousness. I really enjoy this word; it’s an amazing word. Consciousness means that which the soul knows. It’s not what you believe, it’s not what you have existent faith for, it’s not what you hope, but that which the soul knows...it’s the very thing that has become concrete in your life.

Knowing vs. Believing

Let me explain myself when I said, “it’s not what you believe.” There is a find line between believing and knowing. Let me show you...I believe that my car runs vs. I know that my car runs. Knowing goes further with experience, the why and how’s of the experience. Do you remember in Deuteronomy 8:4? When the Israelites were in the desert for 40 years their shoes and clothing never wore out! For 40 years! God stopped the process of decay in their shoes and clothing which they wore everyday...40 years! They KNEW of God’s power!

Ax Head

Think again of the story in 2 Kings 6:4-7 of the floating ax head! But you might saying, “ax heads don’t float!” I know one man that would argue with you! He knows they can float!

Jairus

Ask Jairus in Mark chapter 5 if God can raise the dead! Ask the women with the issue of blood for 12 years if their’s healing power in Jesus Christ...all the time, every time!

Disciples In The Storm, Cripple man at the Pool of Bethsada, The Woman caught in Adultery...ask them if they believe and they will tell you...they KNOW! So you must understand that it’s God’s purpose and should be the purpose of every real christian to create a nature within themselves of a consciousness of God. A concrete knowing God's Word, His Promises & His Power!

The Real Secret of Christianity

The real secret of Christianity is a real consciousness of God. This alone will bring each of us into a place that we might live as kings and priest and demonstrate the superiority of the Son of God...beyond any one or anything in the whole earth! Now taking a step further... the real secret of a real consciousness of God is through acting upon our faith. Taking that which we have chosen to believe and acting on it!

Jairus going to find Jesus.

Woman crawling to touch Jesus.

Acting on faith.

Now many have received from God without knowing, but it’s always been through someone who KNOWS! I want you to be that someone!

Also, remember James 2:17 that states, "faith without works is dead" Meaning, as real christians, our goal isn't simply to obtain or strengthen our faith, but to use what we have! So start today looking for areas in your life you can begin to use your faith and then start planting those seeds! Step out in faith and watch....God will always come through!!

Be blessed and know His Word never fails!
