Many, many years ago, Christians were called Believers. Big things happen because of Believers ... Believers create an environment that enables God to work.
Unbelief, on the other hand, forms an environment that suffocates the very power of God.
A good example of the power generated by a collection of true Believers was the creation of The Church.
That Believers prayer meeting must have been "something-else!" Believers reaching harmony with God through their prayers.
"We are yours, do with us whatever you please..."
The explosive formation of the Church was the result, in part, of these true Believers and their environment of faith ... a power filled, anointed group of Believers headed down the stairs, spilling out into the street with a multilingual Gospel all understood!
Like a holy virus, this Gospel quickly infected thousands of "non-seekers."
On fire Believers in dry brush ... the Church started as a hot unquenchable Holy fire ... Once upon a time the Church was hot!
The Church of Jesus Christ was born that evening. It was totally created by God. The Lord used this small group of Fire brand Believers to enflame the world.
Success? Thousands became Believers!
Believers in God. Believers in His Son, Jesus ... and Believers in His Word, and Belief in their new Gospel ... the key word here is BELIEF!
Once upon a time. Yes ... once upon a time ... there were serious Believers ... Today, who of us can call ourselves serious, focused Believers?
