How you can REALLY believe God

What does it actually mean to believe God? Not believe in Him — believe Him. In this opening message of a new series on faith, Tina Howard takes us back to the foundations: what it looks like to follow God without seeing every step, why doubt is more dangerous than we realize, and how Abraham — a man who walked twenty-five years toward a promise he couldn't see — became the father of our faith. This is a refresher course the whole body of Christ needs right now. What you'll learn: • What it truly means to believe God — not just believe in Him — and why the difference changes everything • The story of how Tina argued with Holy Spirit for two years before launching this ministry, and what finally broke her through • What God said to Moses in Numbers 14:11 — and why His heartbreak over Israel's unbelief is a mirror for us today • Why Abraham is the father of our faith and what we can learn from a man who went "not knowing where he was going" • What James 1:5-8 reveals about doubt — why a double-minded man receives nothing, and how to guard your heart against it • The difference between doubt in your mind versus doubt that gets into your heart — and why one is far more costly than the other • Why God is not a slot machine — and what to do when you've prayed and still aren't seeing the answer • What 1 John 5:14-15 teaches about praying according to God's will and the confidence that comes with it • How Isaiah 43:10 settles the question of who God is once and for all — and why that alone is enough reason to believe Key Scriptures: • Hebrews 11:8 — By faith Abraham obeyed, not knowing where he was going • Numbers 14:11 — How long will they not believe Me, with all the signs I have performed? • Isaiah 43:10 — Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me • Matthew 21:22 — Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive • 1 John 5:14-15 — This is the confidence we have in Him • James 1:5-8 — Ask in faith with no doubting; a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways • Romans 8:38 — Paul: I am persuaded • 2 Timothy 1:12 — Paul: I know whom I have believed • Proverbs 3:5-6 — Lean not on your own understanding God cannot lie. He has never lied. And if He said it in His Word, that is enough. The question is not whether God will come through — the question is whether we will stay firmly persuaded until He does.
