the two most important things that you need to know coming up next
hey everyone welcome to Wednesday's with crystal I'm crystal Sparks and hey if
you have never been on my channel this is a great video to start on right here
I want to talk to you today about the two most important things that you need
to know in your Christian faith you know every week on Wednesday I put out a new
video and my channels one purpose is this is to help grow your faith and to
help equip you to accomplish your dreams and your goals you know there's lots of
things that we learn on this journey of faith there's lots of different things
that we have studied and once a different time that we've spent together
especially here on my channel so if you haven't done so already you might want
it the subscribe button because every week I'm telling you all kinds of
different things to help encourage you and help grow your faith but I'll tell
you this I think these two things will totally revolutionize your faith if you
could ever really get them down your spirit and honestly I'll tell you this
that in my own life whenever I'm having a problem and things aren't going the
way that I want them to go I can usually pinpoint it back that I have gotten a
wrong belief in one of these two areas so are you ready the first thing the
most important thing that we can ever get down is this what we believe about
God see what you believe about God has everything to do with what you receive
from him Hebrews 11:1 says that now faith is the substance of things hoped
for I love that the Bible says that before we can receive from God that we
must first believe that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him see
here's the thing is that if we don't believe that God is good then we begin
to think that God is bad and in turn we become a magnet for everything that we
don't want I told somebody recently that I've never had somebody walking in
divine health telling me that they believe that God sends sickness why
because they believed God is a healer and the fruit of that
the manifestation of that is that they walk in God's health and his wholeness
see whatever we believe that God is is what we begin to attract in our life you
know whenever you talk to somebody who's financially prosperous they'll begin to
tell you why they believe that God is a rewarder that he's a giver of good
things that he makes them prosperous but on the opposite I will have people who
are struggling financially and they will argue with me that God loves them to be
poor that God's will for them is to be in poverty isn't it interesting that we
begin to make our theology line up with what our current circumstances is
instead of what God's Word says I love this in Hebrews 13:5 so what does it say
about us it says that he said for God himself has
said I will not in any way fail you or give you up nor leave you without
support I will not I will not I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor
forsake you nor let you down oh come on that is so good right so in other words
he's saying if you want to get the right belief about me get this I'm always
going to be in your corner I'm always going to be on your side I'm always
going to be defending you I'm always wanting to do good things in your life
see if we could ever get that down in our spirit then oh my goodness we'd
begin to believe God for greater things why because our view of him is right you
know heard a pastor preach one time and I think that this couldn't be further
from the truth he said most Christians have the view of God as this is they
pull up to this big beautiful mansion that's God's house they walk in and they
see the abundant provisions that he has the beautiful things that he has in the
house the lovely furniture all these things and he said then we picture that
God didn't sent with motions to us to come out back we go way down this little
path and things start to get dark and dreary and down at the back there's a
run-down Shack no running water walls barely standing up dirt floors and you
walk in there and then God turns to us and say this is where my children live
see we have no problem believing that the streets are paved with go
old in heaven we just have a problem believing that we have a God that's a
good God who's a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him we see ourselves as
so much lower than God that he looks down on us and that he doesn't really
want to do good things for us see the opposite is true God is the kind of God
that yes you would pull up to that kind of house but Jesus said I have many
mansions in heaven and that I'm preparing one for you so in other words
God says I want to do good things in your life he doesn't call us to the
secondary life where we don't get to have any of the great things that he has
for us no it's the opposite his streets are paved with gold think of how much
more he wants to do in our lives he wants to do good things in and through
us in Jeremiah chapter 31 in the message translation I love what is declared
there it says that this is what we can expect from God love love and more love
in other words if you need to get something down in your spirit about God
I want you to get this at number one he's sitting on the edge of his seat
waiting anticipating just so eager to give good things in your life and the
next thing I want you to get down in your spirit is that God loves you
unconditionally he will never love you more than this moment right now you
might say crystal I've made a lot of mistakes I haven't been doing the right
things friend let me tell you that God does not love you because of your
goodness he loves you because of his goodness it's already been settled I
love that it says here that we can expect this love love and more love
think about as a parent how we're continuously moved to do good things for
our children how when they just whispered that they want to something
that we begin to plan in our mind how we can make that happen
we begin to think about how can I get to the store and surprise them with that
how would we begin to play out in our mind that their face their reaction as
they open up that gift the same is true for God in your life he is so eager to
do good things for you I love with Abraham in the Bible in
Genesis it says that God told him I am your exceedingly great
Lord oh my goodness in other words he is echoing what's about to be told to us in
Hebrews that he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him friend let me
tell you the one thing that will begin to change your life the one thing I want
you to settle in your spirit is what you believe about God will determine
everything from what you receive from him are you ready for the next thing the
next thing I'll think that will change your life is now not only what you
believe about God but what you believe about yourself what you believe about
yourself will determine what you're able to receive from him in 2nd Corinthians
6:18 it says that he God says I will be a father to you and you will be my sons
and daughters in all throughout the Bible in Galatians 3:26 it says that for
we are all now the sons and daughters of God see the wrong things that you
believe about yourself will stop the good things that God wants to do for you
when you begin to believe and see yourself wrong then all of a sudden you
begin to stop all the good things that happen in your life in Hebrews 9:15 it
tells us about this inheritance that God has for us and Colossians 324 it tells
us about it again that there is an inheritance in Christ I want you to
think about this that your best friend just had their father pass away their
mother and their father are now passed away and your best friend is letting you
know that she's going to hear the will be read now her mother and father were
exceedingly wealthy is there any question in your mind that your friend
is going to receive a great inheritance from their parents no it's there's no
question in your mind why because as their daughter they have the right to
everything that their parents had right it's just know that they had a great
relationship that they loved each other and that because of that love there's
gonna be an inheritance passed down see when we don't believe right about
ourselves we disqualify ourself from the inheritance that Christ left for us upon
Christ death burial and resurrection he gave us the inheritance for everything
we could ever ask think or even imagine Asians it tells us but here's the thing
is if I don't see myself as a child of God if I don't see myself as loved by
God the inheritance is still there but we're living our entire life never
tapping into it I read a story a long time ago about a millionaire who died of
starvation he died of starvation having millions of
dollars in his account but he never touched the millions of dollars why
because he didn't know he even had it he had lived his whole life just barely
scraping to get by not knowing that there was millions of dollars sitting in
a bank account now want you to think about this spiritually I think this is
the way many of us live our entire life we just barely get by we question if
we're loved by God we spend our entire lives feeling shame guilt disgraced and
we just wonder why things aren't turning out right when the whole time
God is paid for the rich inheritance for us to walk into everything that he has
the Bible says we now have access to we've been given all things through him
through his Christ Jesus but here's the thing is we have to believe that he is a
rewarder that he is a good father who loves us and number two we have to begin
to see ourselves as children of God who God passionately and deeply loves friend
when you get your identity right and you begin to see God right there will be
nothing that's impossible for you hey did you get something out of that I hope
