SECTION 4: You do not need money, You need to believe (ACTIVITY)
“If only you knew what you can do!”
That’s the attitude our Manufacturer has towards us. The Manufacturer is totally disappointed in us because He knows what we can do. But we don’t. He says that all things are possible if we believe. The only challenge is we are often not willing to believe like God defines ‘believe.’ God does not say, “Everything is possible if you get the idea.” Things do not become a reality from ideas. We have to believe. Yet, the idea is the seed that has to take root to become a belief.
He also does not say that, “Everything is possible if you dream.” God isn’t impressed by your dreams. Most of us never wake up long enough to do anything with our dreams. You may have great dreams for your life, but you prefer to stay asleep because when you wake up reality says, “Okay, let’s get to work.” It is easier to dream an idea than to work that idea into action. You can work that idea into action if you believe.
A belief is a thought of absolute certainty. A true belief is a hill that you are willing to die on. Jesus said in Mark chapter 11, “Whatever you desire when you pray, believe you’ll receive it, and you will have it.” Desire means “to crave for something at the expense of losing everything.”
Everything is possible if you will abandon yourself to an idea enough that you are willing to lose your life for it.
What are the ideas that you are willing to abandon yourself to?
