Believe!

JOHN 20:31 NKJ 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

“But how can I believe in an invisible God?”

The same way you believe in the wind. No one has ever seen the wind. But we all see the effects of the wind.

You may not see God, but open your eyes and look around and you will see God in action. In His marvelous creation, in people’s testimonies of God’s provision and deliverance, in miracles happening all over the earth, in answered prayer.

It is not necessary to see God, or feel God, to believe in Him!

JOHN 20:29 NKJ 29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

If it was always easy to believe, there would be no reward offered for believing. No one offers a reward or bonus for doing something easy.

HEBREWS 11:6 NKJ 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

The Bible speaks of the fight of faith. That means you will have a struggle with believing. Don’t be surprised. Expect it.

1 TIMOTHY 6:12 NKJ 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

JOHN 6:28-29 NKJ 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

SAY THIS: I choose to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and His Word is truth.

Life Can Be Tough

JOHN 16:33 ICB 33 “I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” Jesus never promised us that everything would be perfect here on earth. He recognized that we would encounter trouble. But His instructions were to be of good cheer – not to let it get us down. As we encounter difficulties in life, it will help us to remember the big picture. First, God is our Father and has a wonderful eternal plan for us. We are His children and He loves us. Second, this time is but a training period for our future life with God. We are supposed to be learning to trust God and to obey Him. So, every problem we ever face is an opportunity to walk in faith and please God. Every problem is an opportunity to overcome with God’s help. How can we expect to receive the blessings promised to the overcomer if we never have anything to overcome? What is the answer when we seem overwhelmed with trouble? Look to Jesus. He...

Repent Means Change Your Beliefs

MATTHEW 4:17 NKJ 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The word “repent” as used in the New Testament, means to have a change of thinking, which results in a change of action. Repent does not mean to ask forgiveness. You could ask for forgiveness all day and never repent. Repent does not mean to have regret, remorse, or sorrow. You could be remorseful, full of sorrow, and regret greatly what you have done, yet never repent. Repent does not mean to “shape up” and “live right.” Of course, the right kind of repentance should cause your actions to change so that you will be living right. But repent does not mean “to live right.” It is even possible to quit a sin without repenting. People can quit a sin (at least temporarily) for many reasons. For example, the danger of being caught. That does not mean they have changed their thinking regarding the sin. Repentance has to do with your beliefs, not primarily your actions. Do ...
