Believing God is Who He says He is!

There are a lot of people who say they believe "in" God or that they believe there "is" a God. But how many who say they believe in God actually believe God is who He says He is? Seriously..Think about it.



God says He is the ONLY God..Who has been from the very beginning. There is no other God or gods but Him. "I AM God and there is no other, I AM God and there is none like me" Isaiah 46.9


Apparently He wants us to get and understand this fact as it's repeated twice in the same verse. Even Pharaoh got this, of course it took a whole lot of plagues happening, but in the end he admitted the God of Moses is God.


God says He created all things, before Him there was nothing! No earth, no plants no animals, and no human beings. He created everything! Genesis 1 & 2


He holds everything in His power, even the winds and the waves obey his every command. Matthew 8:26-28 Luke 8:24-26 Job 38:10-12


I guess the real question is do you believe in God...I AM...YHVH-the Hebrew word that translates as "LORD". Found more often in the Old Testament than any other name for God (approximately 7,000 times), the title is also referred to as the "Tetragrammaton," meaning the "The Four Letters".


YHVH comes from the Hebrew verb "to be" and is the special name that God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. "And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM; and He said, thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you... this is My eternal name, and this is how I am to be recalled for all generations'" (Exodus 3:14-15). Therefore, YHVH declares God's absolute being - the source of everything, without beginning and without end.


Now if you believe God is who He says He is, why is there any reason to not trust Him and take Him at His word? Is it really that difficult to believe nothing is impossible for Him? When He says He loves us and wants a relationship with each one of us, is it really that hard to believe and accept? I mean He created each person for His purpose..and that purpose is to have an intimate and loving relationship with Him.


It is no different...OK well a little different but not in principle...how those of us who are parents feel about our children. We created them...sort of...and we love them! We would do anything for our children and want for them to love us and have a relationship with us. Imagine having a child that refuses to not only have any kind of relationship with you but refuses to even believe you exist!!


That is how most people treat YHVH (the LORD). Talk about ungrateful children!


I have always had faith and believed God is who He says He is because I have had a personal relationship with Him for very long time now. I have seen Him do and bring about some amazing, even miraculous things in my life and the lives of those around me. My grandson is just one of many examples.


I have learned over the years to pray about everything..and I mean everything! God cares about even the smallest details of our lives! Just recently my husband could not find his glasses, we literally looked everywhere we could think to look. My first response to him was "did you pray about it and ask the Lord to help you find them?" So I did just that. I was sitting at the computer and dropped something, I reached down to pick it up and there where his glasses, right at my feet. I was amazed that no one had stepped on them. He was amazed when I set them on the counter and asked him if he wanted his glasses back.


Later that evening I went to check my cell phone. Which was also an answer to prayer. I had been praying for a few months for a cell phone, knowing we could not afford to spend the money on one, but knowing if the good Lord wanted me to have one He would provide it. And He did just that. My daughter bought a new Droid because her old phone died and with their program they can purchase a new phone every two years at a discounted rate. Anyway, with the promotion going on if you buy one you get one free. The condition on the free one though is you have to get another completely different phone line. So her hubby got a new phone, added a new number for himself and gave me his old phone with his old number on their plan.


Anyway, that evening I picked it up to check it, I had shown a friend a video I had taken the night before in the morning. The phone was completely dead..it would not go on. I plugged it into the charger and nothing. It did not register it was charging. My husband checked it over and could not figure it out either. At first I thought maybe it had done what my daughters had one..simply "gone to sleep" as the sales person called it. Which would mean it was basically gone.


So that night when I went to bed I talked to the Lord about it. I have been doing this awesome nine week bible study with Beth Moore called Believing God. So I simply told the Lord, "OK Lord I know everything happens for a reason, and I also know you can do anything. So could you please make the phone work again because I don't believe you would give me this blessing and then allow it to be taken away". I chose to believe God.


The first thing I did when I got up was hit the button to turn it on..and guess what? I came on! When my husband got home from work I showed him the phone and said, "this is what prayer can do!" He just looked at me. Within a 24 hour period he saw first hand that God does care about everyday things..not just the "big" stuff.


We all have a choice. We can say we believe in God but never truly believe Him or we can take Him at His word and KNOW He is who He says He is, He can do what He says He can do, We are who He says we are (read the bible it will tell you who He says we are), We can do all things through Christ and His word is alive and active in us! (Providing of course we are walking with Him and have accepted His son Jesus as our Lord and Savior)


I am here to tell you God IS who He says He is!
