Now That's Change You Can Believe In!

The Voice New Testament
Matt 5:18--This, beloved, is the truth: until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter, not one pen stroke, will disappear from the sacred law--for everything, everything in the sacred law will be fulfilled and accomplished.

     One day, the Lord appeared to Abram and promised him a change, he promised him a son.  Abram was already 75, but he believed.  He and Sarai waited for 25 years.  It didn't look like it COULD happen.  It didn't look like it ever WOULD happen.  But, not one letter, not one pen stroke disappeared.  The Word, the Sacred Law of God, was fulfilled and accomplished.  God's change came.

     His children DID go down to Egypt like God told Abraham.  However, they became slaves to a powerful nation.  After 400 years, it looked like it couldn't and wouldn't happen.  The children of Israel were stubborn.  But, change came just like God said because Abraham believed it 500 years before it happened.  He didn't know how it would happen, so he left the change up to God, the One who spoke the change.

     Years later, God spoke to a teen-ager named Mary.  He told her of a change that was coming.  She was going to have a child.  He told her a change was coming to the world.  He said that he would change the way that this child was to be conceived.  He said that she would bear a God-child.  She didn't understand how such a change COULD come, yet she believed the it WOULD come.

     God spoke through the prophets that the coming Messiah would be beaten, hated, crucified and raised from the dead.  Most of those that read those scriptures could not grasp those kinds of changes.  They didn't know how it COULD happen.  Abraham didn't worry about how it COULD happen, he just believed that it WOULD.  He thought about it a lot.  Jesus said so in John 8:56.

     Not one letter, not one pen stroke of God's sacred law disappeared.  God stood behind every letter and every pen stroke.  Everything God spoke represented change in the believer's life.  God never asked anybody to do His work for Him.  All He asked was that you believe and rejoice in His letters and pen strokes.  Those that did received fantastic change.
