John 5:24
 
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." ESV
 
 
Jesus spoke the words that the Father gave Him to speak. If we believe the words Jesus spoke, then we believe the Father. If we truly believe, we will be obeying and we have eternal life with Him.
 
Heavenly Father, how we thank You for sending Your Son to speak Your words of life to us. Give us ears to hear and hearts to obey them. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

GOD'S PROMISES ARE SURE

 
Romans 4:21


"...being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised." NIV


"And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." KJV


Sometimes our trust in God is a reflection of the trust we have in the people of this world. They promise one thing and do another. Commitment is a value of bygone days. If we allow the Lord to lead us deeper and higher into His Word, the Truth, He will increase our faith in Him, so that we will be totally certain that what He says, He will do. God is faithful. We cannot put our lack of trust in people onto Him. There is nothing in this world that can be fully trusted. Only our Lord. If we trust fully in Him, we will never be disappointed.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for not fully trusting in You because our eyes have been on the untrustworthy things of this world. Help us to keep our eyes on You and on Your Word, so that our faith will mature to the point that we are 100% confident that You are eternally faithful and trustworthy. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

EVEN DEMONS BELIEVE

 
James 2:19


"You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder." NIV


"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." KJV


According to a recent survey by the Barna Group, 78% of Christians believe there is an almighty, sovereign, supreme God. That seems to be a really large number of people and it makes our hearts glad to know that all these people believe in our God. The sad part is, many of these do not believe that God cares about and desires a personal relationship with all His children. Even more tragic is that many of those who believe in God think this is all that is necessary to live eternally with Him. The Word of God tells us that Satan, himself, believes in God. He knows God exists and has defeated him already through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. That's why Satan and his demons shudder at knowing God exists. The Word of God says that we must believe that He exists and believe He will reward us if we earnestly seek Him. We must be born again by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.


Heavenly Father, we humbly pray that You will prepare our hearts to earnestly seek You and hunger for Your Word. Help us to not just believe You exist, but to know that You are a God who loves us, who provided a way for our sins to be forgiven by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, and who has prepared a place for us to be with Him for eternity. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

BELIEVE



Jesus spoke the words that the Father gave Him to speak.
If we believe the words, we believe the Father. If we truly
believe, we will obey and we will have eternal life with Him.

Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son to speak
the words of life to us. Help us to listen and obey. In Jesus'
name.

Read John 5:24

"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him
who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has
crossed over from death to life." (NIV)

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (KJV)

HELP MY UNBELIEF




It is quite an easy thing to fully trust the Lord for the small things and for
others who need a touch from Him. The problem comes when we see no
way a thing can be accomplished and it appears there is nothing that can
be done. That's when we begin to fret and doubt. Never forget that we can be completely reliant on Him to hear us and answer us according to His will and our best interest.

Read Mark 9:23,24

"'If you can?' said Jesus. 'Everything is possible for him who believes.'
Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome
my unbelief.'" (NIV)

"Jesus said unto him, 'If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him
that believeth.'
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, 'Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.'" (KJV)

MY REDEEMER




We know the our God is, was, and always will be. Time does not hold
Him captive, because He is eternal. But for us who are confined to time,
we can be at peace with the knowledge that He has defeated sin and
will stand victoriously on this earth.

Read Job 19:25

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will
stand upon the earth." (NIV)

"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth." (KJV)
