Those who do not believe in God will not remain, but those who believe will see amazing things

From: March 7- 13, 2006 Study: # 434

TOPIC: “Those who do not believe in God will not remain, but those who believe will see amazing things” Isaiah 7:9 When one doesn't believe God, or obey what God proposes one perishes. Perhaps the problem is that when God manifests or speaks through a prophet like Isaiah in those days and nowadays the congregation, people don't see that God is the one who is speaking and not the pastor, for such a reason they underestimate Gods voice, but beloved, we will be accountable before God. Hebrews 13: 7 God is not natural but supernatural. Isaiah was the prophet in those days. God sent him to speak to Acaz and let him know that if he didn’t believe he would perish. For some not believing is normal because they have not known God and they lose a lot when there is disbelief of what God can and wants to do. We can receive salvation, but we must understand that this life is a battle, a war in which we depend each day on God. It is necessary for us to win because if we don’t win we will perish, and death and defeat will come. Judah was not the biggest of the tribes of Israel but the smallest. The Syrian kings were more powerful than Judah, but God was pleased to choose them. God is pleased in choosing us and we sometimes give ourselves the luxury of imposing our arguments over Christ's knowledge. God was looking at the great tribulation that the king and the people had. Syria already had picked a new king for Judah. They had made the decision to destroy Judah and govern what belonged to God, but they didn't realize they were about to face God, because God was concern and wanted to rescue the nation. The more a man believes the more Gods hand will move and He will do. If you are scarce it is because you have not believed. If we are not able to move God our life will be a total failure. When our complaints end it is because we have believed God and then God will work on our behalf. The reason why some people perish is because they stop believing and this holds back everything God has been doing and God remains high in Heaven. We need to move our great Gods hand or we will perish. Those who do not believe the Word of God will be removed and because of disbelief cannot reach. The Word says: To those who believe everything is possible. Mark 9: 23 If we are not conquering it is because we have stopped believing. It’s not the circumstances or the problems, because the more difficult they are

the more it is necessary to believe God. God wants to work on our behalf, but what we have kept God from moving his hand because don't believe and there is where the difficulties begin for us and for the Church. We must understand that we need to struggle. We all like the easy things, what is comfortable, but God is pleased when He finds men and woman that move him and stand before him in the gap. Ezekiel 22:30 As men and women of God we are the ones who move Gods hand. Much is lost when we don't believe. Even us as small as we are, with limited strength we think we can measure God. Let us not try to do according to our limitations, but according to the powerful hand of God. Amen. In Genesis 17:17 Abraham smiled with incredulity when God told him that he would have a son. God wanted to work in Abraham, but he doubted in his heart and laughed. There are things that will happen, that have to happen and we must stop the smile of incredulity. The problem is that we are showing lack of faith, we don't believe, but whatever God will do, he will go right over our head. On the other hand, God also told Moses in Numbers 11:21 that 600,000 men would eat for one month and Moses doubted. There is a great battle, a great war and in this war it is where we must move God; we cannot smile doubting what God has promised to the Church. Our God wants to do great things. If we want to see great things in God we must watch how we use the best years of our life. The most complicated thing is not knowing where we are going, what to expect, what God demands from us. Because when we know where we are going we will be preparing and taking care of our path by believing God. The more we believe the more reverence we will have towards all that is sacred, but as time goes by we begin to lose reverence and our flesh begins to take over. For such reason the hand of God will not stop. We cannot expect what everybody is expecting. We must wait upon the Lord Jehovah and see what He will do. He never stops, He never gets tired. If we believe it will arrive. God is powerful and he will continue working. What we are looking for, God will do it. He wants to work. He is powerful to do it. We must understand who God is. When some one stops believing and begins to listen to others who believe, they take them as if they were crazy. Let us be careful. When one doesn't believe, what he wants to see will not be received, he won't have it. We must never stop believing God. Mathew 13:58 Jesus had three years to do many things, but in Nazareth not much happened because they didn't believe, they tied Jesus hands. The majority did not believe in him. Then, Jesus left. That city was left without miracles. Occasionally we feel limited, but after all somebody will do, then

there must be no complaints. Perhaps for many we are small, but God is great. It is not what we are, but what counts is that we believe in Him. What stops Gods hand is the incredulity. Mark 16:14 We don't believe because our hearts become hard. God is powerful to do. We don’t want God to reproach us because we have not believed. Be careful with the heart because there are so many circumstances and the enemy makes our hearts become hard. We must know how to take care of our heart. John 16:7-9 The Holy Spirit makes us believe. The Holy Spirit comes to us here on earth to convince men so that they will believe. The Holy Spirit takes us to believe that we were sinners; He is who makes us believe. If He leaves us we will never believe. Be careful not to become lukewarm and fall into agreement with this world. Not believing is a sin. All those who have not believed the truth will be condemned, those who were more pleased with injustice rather than to believe. Not believing is underestimating Gods power, it is making God small. This is unfair and we cannot allow it in our lives or in others life. Those who believe will move Gods hand and will not be condemned because he has believed in the powerful hand of God. We cannot throw ourselves to sleep because then we are working with injustice. The church moves righteous things and the only way to do so is by believing in God. If we believed for a salvation we must also believe through our entire journey. While the Holy Spirit is with us it will continue to convince us so to believe in the power of God. Mathew 14:31 While Peter believed he was able to walk upon the water. We can also walk on water, but we can only do it by believing. As long as we believe that God is great we will walk on water and we will see many, many great things from God. Amen.
