Become What You Believe

January 22, 2010
Genesis 25-26; Psalm 7:6-8; Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 9:18-38


After praising the woman with the issue of blood, Jesus meets some blind men on the way.  He asks them, "Do you really believe I can do this?"  (referring to healing them).  They reply yes!  Jesus says, according to the Message Bible, "Become what you believe."

All the pressure was then on their faith.  Not on what Jesus could or would do for them.  We have all become what we believe.  If we believe we are no good, we've become no good.  If we believe we are useful, we've become useful.

The key is to change what we believe.  I wonder how the blind men changed their beliefs.  Was it because of hearing all of the testimonies?  Was it because of Jesus' words?

We can change what we believe so that we produce different results too.  Surround yourself with testimonies of how good the Lord has been. Read God's Word.  Faith comes by hearing God's Word.  After changing what you believe to what God wants us to believe, then you will become what you believe!!

From the kids
We all wondered if King Abimilech was suspicious regarding Rebecca since his father had done the same thing with Sarah

Joy thought it was funny because the Message Bible reads that they were bringing casseroles!  :)
