Numbers 23:19

Pastor George Dix Jr. reminded us of God's sovereignty and steadfastness. When God's word enters our heart, it reveals things and gives LIGHT. It also goes forth and gives LIFE. God and His word are one.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1

If God says I'm your deliverer, your healer, that's what He means. We should look into the mirror of God's word and see the promises that God has prepared for us. As we study the Word, we position ourselves for God to manifest Himself in us daily.

"We walk by faith and not by sight" - 2 Corinthians 5:7

When your heart is receptive, your faith increases. We must remember that God is a covenant God. He had covenants with Noah, Abraham, David and of course... Us! As believers, we need to feel a resurrection in our heart if we want to hear God. Regardless of our past, He's knocking at our heart's door.

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair." - 2 Corinthians 4:8

God is faithful and is waiting to do a NEW thing in us, but He's waiting for us to R.U.N. (are you in... position), and we should expect new things from God.

"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth" - Isaiah 43:19

God will do what He says, no matter what it looks like. You've got to SAY something!

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." - Mark 11:23

Lastly, Pastor George encouraged our hearts that if the Bible says it (Numbers 23:19), then it's a solemn agreement!
