Lately, the Lord has been bringing this song to my mind almost daily. We first learned this song in the mid 1990’s. We would be in a group of worshippers and sing this with every part of our being. Whose people will you believe? I WILL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD!!!!!
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
His report says I am healed
His report says I am filled
His report says I am free
His report says victory
Are you healed (Yes)
Are you filled (Yes)
Have you got the victory (Yes)
Are you healed (Yes)
Are you filled (Yes)
Have you got the victory (Yes)
There’s a lot more to those words than just a joyful song. I WILL BELIEVE HIS REPORT! The next question is what is His report? “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4 His Word is the report we believe. All of us know the thousands of words and promises that are in the Bible. We believe in His Word. We love to read His Word, especially the verses that are full of His promises. The part many miss is KNOWING His Word in our hearts to the point that we always know what is His report. Many places in the Word talk about to know, this is to know intimately. To know His report, His Word, His Truth without a shadow of a doubt, we must spend some intimate time in His presence and in His Word.
As a child we were taught to memorize many things; poems, Bible verses, pledges, creeds. We memorized what was important to have hidden in our hearts. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11 People say that they can not memorize but you can know, in an intimate way, His word so well that it is hidden in your heart. When the time arises and you need to know whose report is truth, God’s or the Doctors? God’s or man’s understanding? God’s or the world’s system? You will not know His report unless you spend time knowing Him.
“You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world. So who are the world conquerors, defeating its power? Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:4-5 TPT
This past week I have been focusing on the victory we have in Him. We are overcomers, more than conquerors in Him. There should be no doubt in our hearts, or minds concerning His Truth about any situation. Yet, it is easy, at times, to get caught up in doubt and unbelief because we have been focusing on our own understanding. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him (know Him intimately) and He will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
“You’re my place of quiet retreat, and your wraparound presence becomes my shield as I wrap myself in your Word!” Psalm 119:114
This week the Lord took me to Psalm 23. This is a comforting chapter in His word that most people know or have heard of. As I read it from the perspective of His report for me, I was so blessed to see all He promises. Sometimes we recite it so fast we are not knowing it in our hearts. When the enemy tries to lie about who I am and Who my Lord is in my life I just compare the report of the Lord with the lies of the enemy and I know I have victory in every situation.
“Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough.
He offers a resting place for me in His luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.
That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me in the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.
Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conqueror me, for you already have. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear, I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.
You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; you give me all I can drink of you until my cup overflows.
So why would I fear the future? Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life. Then afterward, when my life is through, I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you.” Psalm 23 TPT
Take time to start putting His report, His promises, His Truths in your heart. It will save you many times when you are a situation and need to know His report to stand on. I pray you enjoy these verses and promise as much as I have.
Whose report will you believe?
His report says I am healed!
His report says I am filled!
His report says I am free!
His report says victory!
AMEN!!!
