Working on Your Believing - Pastor Ekpenyong

Mark 7:13 AMP “Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect [the authority of] the Word of God through your tradition, which you [in turn] hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing.”

Most people don’t realize their beliefs determine the rest of their life. Therefore, it is important to intentionally determine what you believe.

Sadly, many Christians never let the Bible get in the way of what they believe. Most people depend upon their logic, tradition or experience to formulate beliefs. Few actually take the word of God as the basis of their beliefs.

While there are plenty of man-made traditions that are harmful, there are also God-made traditions that can make His word of no effect.

I’m sure you are shocked that I said “God-made traditions,” you see the Old Testament way of relating to God is not the same as the New Testament way of relating with Him.

The Old Testament was legalistic, performance based while the New Testament is based on what Jesus did; therefore, it has everything to do with you accepting and receiving what He has done on your behalf.

What we believe is a result of our thinking. If we think wrong, we will believe wrong. If our believing is wrong, our confession will be wrong.

However, the Word of God has been given to us to straighten out our thinking!

As you train your mind to believe, defeat tendencies are reversed; everything tends to move out of the arena of the impossible into that of the possible.

Your believing and your talking are like Siamese twins; you say what you believe and you believe what you say. 

Glory!
