The Making Of Believers -It's Some Boys in the Hood Selling Anything for Profit But God Is A Present Help - Shout-out to Jodie

 

It's some boys in the hood, selling anything for profit
Five in the morning on the corner clockin' (clockin')
Yeah, we rollin', but them boys try ing to stop it (try)
And you can get anything, you can get it anywhere

for the dollar...

Them boys got work, them boys got fame

Them boys got hurt, them boys got pain
Them boys got Glocks, them boys got cash
Them boys got Glocks, them boys gettin' paid

We go through trials, but if we’re honest with ourselves, life as a believer is still a good life. When that truth settles in your spirit, the people around you no longer define your joy. You can move forward with peace because you are content, grounded, and pleased with where you are in God.

Many believers fall into a subtle trap when they speak about what God, saying what He will do or who God will be. But God does not exist in the future. God is. Faith is now...

When God revealed Himself to Moses, He did not say, “I will be.” He said, “I AM THAT I AM” (Exodus 3:14). God’s nature is present tense—unchanging, complete, and eternal.

God is never becoming. He is already everything He will ever be. And because we are created in His image, faith requires that we speak and believe from that same place of completion.

Faith Speaks What Is, Not What Is Coming

Words matter in the life of faith.

Don't say, “I shall be well,”
Don't say, “I’m going to have money someday,” 
Don't say, “I’m going to be all right,” declare that things are all right now.

Scripture instructs us differently: “Let the weak say, I am strong” (Joel 3:10).

Faith does not deny facts—it declares truth. And truth is spoken in the now.

Faith does not say, “One day I will be strong.” Faith says, “I am strong—because God says so.”

The Power of “I AM” in Faith

Jesus understood the authority of present-tense faith. He taught us to pray believing that the answer is already accomplished.

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).

Notice the order:

Believe you have received

Then you shall have

Faith lives from the finished work. Thanksgiving becomes your language:
“Thank You, Father. It is done.”

When you declare, “It will be all right,” you postpone faith.
But when you declare, “It is all right,” you align yourself with God’s completed work.

Living from God’s Finished Work

Your healing already exists in God.
Your provision already exists in God.
Your peace, clarity, elevation, and breakthrough already exist in God.

Faith does not beg God to move—faith agrees with what God has already spoken.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

Faith lives in the now because God lives in the now.

And when your faith agrees with the great I AM, you stop waiting for blessings and begin walking in them.
