BELIEVERS RECEIVE Luke 1:45, And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. LUKE 1:39-56 There are many reasons why Gods blessings dont always come to pass in a persons life, but the most frequent cause is simply unbelief on our part. There are no limitations on Gods part. He is willing and able to do anything He has promised. The problem is with our believing. The Lord has given every believer faith (Rom. 12:3). It was given to us at salvation through hearing the Word of God (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 10:17). It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22). However, we must choose to exercise it. Our faith is linked to our knowledge (2 Pet. 1:1-4). What we think on is how we will be (Pro. 23:7). The problem is not that we dont have faith. The problem occurs when we dont allow our faith to work because we dont keep our minds stayed on Gods Word. Then our faith is choked out by the cares of this life (Mk. 4:19). Keeping our minds stayed on Gods Word will release our faith and thereby release the power of God in our lives. Certainly Mary must have been a person who put Gods Word first in her life. Mary saw a performance of what she believed. We receive what we believe, not what we desire or even need. Today believe the word that the Lord has spoken about you.
