Agree or Believe?

Mark 16:15-20

Faith has been called the believers 6th sense. Faith is the believer’s ability to see what cannot be seen with the natural eye, to hear what cannot be heard with the natural ear, and to taste what cannot be tasted with the natural taste.

Faith is this supernatural sense that is birthed in the human heart when Gods word is heard, received, believed, and acted on.

Faith enabled Elijah to hear the sound of an abundance of rain when not one drop had fallen from the sky in 3 1/2 years.

Faith sustained a widow woman through the famine, her meal barrel wasted not and the cruse of oil did not fail until the Lord sent rain according to the word of the Lord by Elijah.

By faith a widow woman went from nothing but a small pot of oil, to an abundance that satisfied her creditors, and blessed her family

Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, … prepared an ark to the saving of his house … and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Heb 11:30 by faith the walls of Jericho fell down, (after they were compassed) about seven days.

Notice the action words connected with faith in those sentences: Moses (moved).

The walls of Jericho were (compassed, or walked around for seven days).  Noah built!

Faith is not agreement to the truthfulness of the word of God.

If Gods word is true (we know it is,) why do we not see more of the power of God manifested in our lives?

I believe the answer is in understanding what Jesus meant when he said “Believe”.

We have raised a generation of mental agree’ers ,  agreeing with the mind to the truth of the word.

But from Jesus perspective believers are more than agree’ers they are doers.

James 2:19 tells us that devils believe and tremble but they don’t do any righteous works of faith.

The plague that has infected the church world is that of calling the agreement of the mind a vital and living faith, calling it believing, but it is not believing without corresponding actions.

According to the scripture faith has corresponding works, and without works it is dead, that means that a believer is a doer.  So the question you and I need to ask ourselves is this:  ARE WE AN AGREE’ER OR A BELIEVER?  I trust you are a believer, and if you are, act on the Word today!
