Psalms 100:3, “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”

Romans 9:21, “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?”

…Let Him Be God!

It time to take God out of the small box we have confined him to in our hearts and minds.

If God be great, the we must let him be great. We must walk in extraordinary faith. Believe him for greater and walk in expectation because we ask according to his will.

To be great is of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average. Excellent, very well.

We are entering a time where our faith in God will be our light. We live in a dark world, but we serve the great God. We serve the only wise and true God. Beside him there is none other.

The Bible says we are in this world, but not of this world (John 8:23, John 17:16). When we received the Holy Ghost, we take on His spiritual nature. We come into holiness. In him do we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). We walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). We are to live by faith!

Throughout our walk with Christ, he has spent time pouring his word in us, building up our faith. We are told to study the word, to hide the word in our hearts. We are told that when the Holy Ghost comes he will bring all things back to our remembrance (John 14:26). This is what the Bible says to provide us comfort, and encouragement. We must grow from babes to maturity in Christ.

Why? Because this is a suffering way. Because we have put on Christ, we also take fellowship in his suffering. Our faith will be tried. Our spiritual integrity will be tried. We will be tempted.

The purpose is so that we know for a surety that God is real, God is true, and he is faithful. We must know that what he said, he will bring it to pass. God wants to be more than an abstract idea that we have embraced. He must be real, tangible in our hearts and minds. The trying of our faith brings experience. This experience is knowing God in a real way.

God is faithful. He does not put more on us than we can bear. He does not tempt us with sin. Peter tells us we are tempted when we are drawn away with our own lusts, and enticed. But God is faithful because when temptation comes, God also provides a way of escape. When we are tempted we must train ourselves to look for the escape. It is there, we just have to choose to take it.

…Let Him be God!

We know a lot. So much of the time the stuff we know is just like lyrics to a song. Whenever the song is on the radio or someone else starts a song we can sing along because we know the song too. But what is lacking is the experience that makes the lyrics real to us. The lyrics of a song about heartbreak has a greater impact or meaning to the person who has experienced heartbreak themselves and survived.

We know the words that are in the Bible but we don’t know the spirit of the words. Why? Because we have not been tried by those words. We must exercises our faith and let God be God to us and in us.

We are living in a time where our faith is our shield. Yes, we need the whole armor of God. But it is the shield of faith that can quench all the fiery darts or arrows that the devil will shoot our way. The shield of faith protects us and the word of God is the weapon we just to strike blows of our own. The shield and sword work together, arm and arm.

To be effective in this current battle, we must let God be the great God he is. If he said it, we must trust him to be it or do it. We can no longer afford to minimize him and keep him in a box. If we do so, it is to our own detriment. If he spoke it to you that is because he desires and intends to bring it to pass. We must step aside and let him be God by allowing him to do his Godly things.

…Let Him be God.

Exercise your faith and catch up to what God is doing!

Have a blessed day.
