" DO YOU BELIEVE? "

Here we are again, another week has crept up upon us and that's a good thing. Have you truly asked yourself what you truly believe in? I am a Believer in Jesus Christ and I walk in Faith. Believing for every thing and that all things are possible in Jesus Christ. " BELIEVERS " Faithful ones in the New Testament, those who have placed their complete faith and trust in Christ for Salvation, realizing that they are unable to meet God's standards of righteousness by their own efforts. " And 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 seek Him. " Believing that God exists is only the beginning; even the demons believe that much (James 2:19-20). God will not settle for mere acknowledgement of his existence. He wants a personal, and dynamic relationship with you that will transform your life. Those who seek God will find that they are rewarded with his Intimate Presence. " And all things you ask in Prayer, BELIEVING, You Will Receive. " Now this verse is not a guarantee that we get anything we want simply by asking Jesus and believing. God does not grant requests that would hurt us or others or that would violate his own nature or Will. Jesus' statement is not a blank check. To be fulfilled, our requests must be in Harmony with the Principles of God's Kingdom. THE STRONGER OUR BELIEF, THE MORE LIKELY OUR PRAYERS WILL BE IN LINE WITH GOD'S WILL, AND THEN GOD WILL BE HAPPY TO GRANT THEM. Last Point: To " Believe " is more than intellectual agreement that Jesus is God. It means to put our trust and confidence in him that he alone can save us. It is to put Christ in charge of our present plans and eternal destiny. Believing is both trusting his word as reliable, and relying on him for the power to change. If you have never trusted Christ, let this promise of everlasting life be yours - and believe. Until Next Time... Jim,
