Overcoming Unbelief (BY BELIEVING) 7-28-19 video BELIEVE
Belief-to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well-being to Christ): of the conviction and trust to which a man is impelled by a certain inner and higher prerogative and law of his soul; thus, it stands: absolutely to trust in Jesus or in God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something.
Most important work that we can do according to Jesus is to believe. We act out of what we believe not what we know. Believing comes from the heart. Believe means to be persuaded of the truth of something because of the declaration of another. It’s not mental assent. Unbelief is distrust or disobedience. It’s hard to believe words if you don’t believe in the messenger. Everything comes from believing. Every part of our lives is blessed by believing. Ministry, finances and relationships are blessed by believing. Fears are dismissed by believing. It is the most important thing we can do. The problem is not our heart we must go from unbelieving to believing.
Jer 15:19 Therefore thus says the Lord [to Jeremiah]: If you return [and give up this mistaken tone of distrust and despair], then I will give you again a settled place of quiet and safety, and you will be My minister; and if you separate the precious from the vile [cleansing your own heart from unworthy and unwarranted suspicions concerning God’s faithfulness], you shall be My mouthpiece. [But do not yield to them.] Let them return to you — not you to [the people].
20 And I will make you to this people a fortified, bronze wall; they will fight against you, but they will not prevail over you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, says the Lord.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hands of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the palms of the terrible and ruthless tyrants. AMP
John 6:28 They then said, What are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?]

22 Many times it pitches him into fire or the river to do away with him. If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!”
23 Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.”
24 No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, “Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!” MSG

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,
9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
11 The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. AMP
▼▼▼
Rom 10:8 So what exactly was Moses saying? The word that saves is right here, as near as the tongue in your mouth, as close as the heart in your chest. It’s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching.
9 Say the welcoming word to God — “Jesus is my Master” — embracing, body and soul, God’s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That’s it. You’re not “doing” anything; you’re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That’s salvation.
10 With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: “God has set everything right between him and me!”
11 Scripture reassures us, “No one who trusts God like this — heart and soul — will ever regret it.” MSG
▼▼▼
Romans 10:8 But the faith-righteousness we receive speaks to us in these words of Moses :“God’s living message is very close to you, as close as your own heart beating in your chest and as near as the tongue in your mouth.”
9 And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation.
10 The heart that believes in him receives the gift of the righteousness of God—and then the mouth gives thanks to salvation.
11 For the Scriptures encourage us with these words: “Everyone who believes in him will never be disappointed. TPT

For there is really no difference between us, TPT
