Note before sharing the devotional: Let's not forget the biggest "do you believe" moment in the Bible: Do you truly believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, laid down His life on the cross for your sins and mine? Do you believe that He lived a perfect life up until that point, and even through that point, even to ask His Heavenly Father to forgive His enemies because "they did not know what they were doing"? Do you believe that, after Jesus died on the cross, He conquered death and was raised again from the dead? This is what makes Christianity Christianity.Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. Psalm 107:13-14, ESV
By the same token, do you also believe that the same power that raised Him from the dead lives inside of all believers? That means you and me, if you truly believe. That means you and I have access to the greatest power of all, the power of the Holy Spirit. And that also means that, in Jesus' name and by the power of the Holy Spirit, all your bonds and chains are broken, all your diseases healed, all your sins forgiven, and you can have access to all breakthroughs... so long as you remain in Christ and He in you.
Do You Believe?
Brought out of slavery in Egypt. Saved from lions. Victorious in battle. The Word of God is full of stories of deliverance, full of accounts of God showing Himself strong as the Deliverer of His people. He hears His people's cry. He delivers them from their distress. We see it again and again.
But, do you believe it?
Do you truly believe God rescued an entire community from slavery and delivered them from a pursuing army by creating a pathway through the sea? Do you believe He’s the same God you can speak to right now?
Do you believe Jesus gave sight to a man who was born blind? Do you believe He is still able to perform miracles?
Do you believe a man who plotted murder against God’s people could suddenly, miraculously have a change of heart and become one of His greatest advocates? God did that with Saul who became Paul. When you think of the most wicked people in the world today, do you believe God could save and change them in the same way?
The God who is with you right now is the same God who delivered in every one of those circumstances. He can deliver you, too!

Prayer: God, You are a merciful Savior and mighty Deliverer. Thank You for rescuing me from my darkness and sin through Jesus' death on my behalf. You are victorious! I know You hear me when I cry out for help. Thank You! In Jesus' name, Amen.
