We live in a generation of people who have said a prayer but don’t know the Lord. They go to conferences, they attend revivals, they get baptized in water, they go to church, but they do not know the Lord. How can a whole generation of people, do all the right things and not know the One they are doing all the things for?

While in Charlotte, NC earlier this month, we went to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Headquarters. It was a powerful experience and I will never forget what I read, saw and heard while I was there. The thousands upon thousands of people who said a prayer with that man cannot be underestimated. Then I see on Facebook and Instagram, the crusades men and women are doing, baptisms that are happening on college campuses and mega churches with thousands of people sitting in the auditorium or stadium. Yet when finances get tight, when government acts funny or when a bad report is heard people act and talk like they don’t know God.

Friends, this is not how it is supposed to be, but I don’t blame anyone for this, other than to say, we have expected people to believe in a God they don’t know and we call it faith. We expect people to believe by faith but when they don’t see it come to pass, there is no establishing of the faith. Faith is wind, spirit, word, manifestation of what we have heard is how we know God is who He says He is and can do what He said He can do.

Ezekiel 37 says, “You shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.” God doesn’t expect us to only hear and never experience. Our God is not all talk no action. He knows words and manifestation are what establishes the knowing that He is God. We are about to see what God has said and people are going to know He is God and when they do, everything will change!!!!! Manifestation will establish what we have heard.
