What I Believe - James Woodley and The Upper Room Church

A whole lot of stuff on YouTube and TikTok and

all the places. But anyway, I uh listened to a

lady who said that the Bible was a book of lies.

She says, Bible nothing, nothing but a book of lies.

Then another person said, Praise God, that the Bible was

just a book written to keep black folks in slavery.

And so and I thought to myself about all the

people who have been blessed by the word of God,

by this word that we believe in and praise God.

I believe as a god somewhere. Amen, Praise God, hallelujah.

And my subject this morning, if you going a title,

is I believe. Amen, Praise God. And we're gonna be

looking at Hebrews chapter eleven. Praise God, uh, verse three.

Amen. That's what we're gonna be centering on. Amen.

But w what we need today more than anything, praise God,

is faith and believe in God no matter what goes

on in this place, this land that we live in.

Praise God, no matter what their thoughts are, Praise God,

or how they feel about you and I, Amen, we

know that God made us hollow in His image.

Amen. Thank you Jesus. Praise God.

And I believe amen that if I hold on praise

God like the saws say, if you live right, heaven

belonged to you.

Amen. I believe that. Praise God. Amen. And Hebrews Chapter eleven.

Verse three, Well, I'm gonna start with the first verse,

Praise God versus we comfort. Last week it says, now

faith is the substance of things. Hope for the evidence

of things not see for about the elders attain a

good report. And later on in that book or in

that chapter, he's gonna talk about all the elders that

got a good report concerning faith.

Amen.

But what I want to center on today is through

faith verse three. Through faith we understand that the worlds

were framed by the word of God. So the things

which are seeing were not made of things which do

a pair.

Amen. Praise God, Praci his Father in the name of Jesus.

We thank you Lord for the service this morning.

We thank you Jesus for your grace and your mercy

that you have extended to us. We ask the Lord

that you will forgive us for any transgressions of omission

or commission that we've committed. We asked that you will forgive

us praise God in the name of Jesus. We asked

that you would anoint us. Praise God with your spirit,

the Holy Gods power. Praise God. We are believe in

praise God that is resident in us, that is that

is energized in us through the Spirit of God. And

we thank you Jesus. Praise God for what you have

done for us. We thank you for what you're gonna

do for us. Praise God in the future. And asking

the name of Jesus that you would touch everyone under

the Son of my Boss. Those are on the phone lines,

those that are listening in prays God, those that are

in the House of God right now, Lord, you know

exactly what we need. And Father God, we know that

we are serving a God that.

Can meet every need.

In the name of Jesus, we submitted into your hands and.

We're believe in you right now in Jesus' name.

Amen, Amen, Allelujah Again. I believe this is what I

believe it. Scripture says true thing. We understand that the

worlds were framed by the word of God.

Amen. And the writer is alluding.

To Genesis chapter one, when God spoke, he said, let.

That be.

And the ones you and I won that. Matter of fact,

we don't know nobody that was there.

Amen. But through faith we believe.

And we understand that the world afraid by the word

of God. God spoke a word. Praise God in the materialize.

Praise God.

Everything that you see came out of nothing. Amen, Praise God.

And I remember reading a story somewhere. Somebody had wrote

a story said somebody, somebody was gonna have a contest

against God, and uh, he was gonna have a contest

against garden. And so God challenge a man and the

man said, well, I tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna I'm gonna challenge you God, and I'm gonna

doplicate what you do. And God said, Okay, I'll take

the challenge. And the man said, well, let me get

some dirt. And God told us, said you your older.

And so we there's nothing outside of God, prays God

that we can look at. Praise God that was not

did not come through the material, Prays God. Expression of

God's word. Praise God. He said, through faith the understanding

that the world's were framed by the word of God.

Amen.

And so the things that are seen were not made

of things which do appear praise God. In this book

of Hebrews, the writer prays, God is admonishing the people

of God, prays, God is a hold on to your faith.

And that's what I'm encouraging the saints of God today.

Hold on to your faith. Amen, Praise God, hallelujah. Faith,

Praise God and believing in God's word.

Praise God. Do you believe God's word?

That's there's a there's a movement today prays God to

discredit God, to discredit the word of God.

Amen, hallelujah.

It's just because people mess it up, that don't mean

that we can't praise God and joy and Kate, praise

God and live by it.

Amen.

Just because folks mess up marriage and get divorced and

cheating Carol, that don't mean there's anything wrong with marriage.

Praise God.

Marriage well sactified and satisfied by God. So just because

man mess it up, Praise God, hallelujah, that does not

mean I cannot walk in and be blessed by Praise God.

And so the writer is telling us, prays God.

That we understand that the world of praise by the

Word of God. And I want to explain to you

you know, I'm anna science buff Praise God, and I

like to follow the science thing. But you know, Praise God.

God is so merciful. He blessed his planet and set

it in space, and we'll twenty twenty three million miles

against from the sun. Whatever the figure is, but it's

just right. If it was a few degrees closer, we

were burned up. It was a few degrees brother away,

we were freezing it. And he designed it. Praise God.

Said that the world is spending on an axis. Praise God.

That we have twenty four hours of day of time.

Praise God. And the way that the Earth is spinning.

Praise God today. Praise God.

The sun is on our side and on the other

side of the world it is nighttime, but it's ordained

by God. God designed it.

Praise God. And he he set it in motion. Amen,

by the word of God.

But not on see.

But that's not that's just a small thing.

Do you know there are thousands and millias and guidesses

out there in space.

Praise God that we probably have never seen before. Praise God.

That God is.

He's eternal, and he created the universe, He created the planet,

the Earth, He created Praise God. Set the moon in

the sky. Praise God to give light during the night time.

Amen.

God designed all of this by the spoken about He

spoken word.

Amen. But you know why I'm so great about it.

Even with all of that magnificence, God blessed you and

I to wake up.

This morning and to see a brand new day. Hallelujah.

Davids asked the US, says, what is man that thou

art mindful of him? Praise God? Because God had you

and I in mind. Amen.

So we understand by faith, Praise God, hallelujah. We begin

by trusting what God said. God said in the beginning.

God said that that be and there was, and we

believe that by faith.

Amen. Praise God.

We want that when God spoken, but we believe it

by faith because I believe that prays God, that you

and I amen, or not the result of some kind

of chemical suit that happened to be laying down there,

prays God on the ground and all of a sudden

we just showed up.

I believe, Praise God. That was a mind.

Praise God from hallelujah. From God who designed all that

we see. Praise God in our world today. I believe

that's a God at charge. Amen, Thank you Jesus, hallelujah.

I believe this oneing do you believe? Hallelujah. Every believer

must decide whether they will trust God's word over what

the world says, because mankind is destined prays.

God to walk away from God.

Amen, every sister fault all mankind has tried to walk

away from God. Even though we did not praise God.

At one time, we did not want to have nothing

to do with God. I remember as a young teenager

some people saw me and they do I didn't go

to church, and it says, won't you go to church

with us tonight? And they said, we're gonna come by

pick up and I made sure I want home, and

most of them does.

A lot of us have been like that. But look

at us now. Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus. Praise God. But

faith in God recognizes his power. Praise God.

I want you to recognize today, Praise God in reading

this that God did not struggle to.

Create the world or the universe. He just spoke it. Amen.

And his word for ornor out of chaos that was

darkness over the deep, but his word for light.

Praise God.

And the same God who created the universe has the power,

prays God to create our life, to transform our life.

Praise God from what it is right now.

Amen.

You may be dealing with some situations. You may be

dealing with some problems. You may be dealing with all

kinds of things going on in your life.

You may be dealing with some sickness.

But I'm here to tell you today that God hallelujah.

Faith in God's word hallelj believe He's already spoken the word.

He said in the word say I'm the Lord God

that hid anything. You also said in the Word said, bye,

my strikes, We'll heal you. I believe that word today.

Do you believe that word? Amen, hallelujah. One thing about faith,

it sees the invisible see you cannot seems. Grita said,

we walk by faith and not by sight.

If you.

Walking by sight, praise God, then you're trusting in what

you see.

But can you see through the eyes of faith your deliverance.

Can you see through the eyes of faith your blessedness? Hallelujah, hallelujah.

And I told you last week about how God changed.

Abram's name to Abraham.

Which means a father of many nations. And he didn't

even have a son at that time. I also reminded,

Praise God of Gideon. God spoke to Gideon, Praise God

and told him, said, Di mighty man of Valor. But

when he found Gideon, Giddy was hiding.

Giddy was afraid.

But God spoke to us, saying, dil mighty man of Valor.

Praise God. Hallelujah.

God spoke into existence what was not visible at that time.

Praise God.

And I want to let you to know today that

God is speaking to you today that you cannot see.

But God got a blessing for you today. God has

prays God, Glory of God. Hallelujah. God's got a blessing

for you today. He's already stalking. We just got to

believe it. Amen, hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. So don't lose

hope of your faith this morning. Hold on to your faith.

Praise God, hallelujah. Praise God. Yes we'll challenge, yes, yes, yes, yes,

we'll challenge all the time. Praise God. Hallelujah. And I'm

like you, Praise God. I come to a place where

I said.

Well, my God, what else could happen? But I got

to remember that I'm a child of God.

Amen prays, And the scripture said He won't put no

more on you than you can Mad. Praise God. Hallelujah,

Thank you Jesus. So this morning, praise God. This scriture says,

by faith, we understand that the world's were framed by

the word of God. Amen, hallelujah. Have you got faith

this morning? Do you believe God is gonna make ways?

Faith this morning? Hall, do you believe God Hollidah is

all right? Praise God is all right with God. Hallelujah, hallelujah,

Thank you Jesus. Now we're not talking about wishful thinking

kind of faith. You know, sometimes people praise God go

through this wishful thinking kind of mood. Amen, Praise God.

But if you decided this morning, see, that's not the

kind of faith that God is talking about. We're talking

about faith in the word of God, what God has said.

But if you decided this morning that you're gonna get

on top of this church and
