“When they ALL saw him-they WORSHIPED-but they DOUBTED” Matthew 28:17




We LIVE in a scientific age-we ALL want PROOF of everything-but WHERE GOD is concerned-it is a misnomer-because WE FIND GOD in faith-we find GOD by believing-WE BELIEVE despite the lack of evidence


YET the circumstantial EVIDENCE for God is all around us-the sun-the moon-the green grass-and trees-OUR VERY OWN LIVES


The WOMEN in the above example had already ANNOUNCED the incredible news to the disciples-Jesus is NO LONGER in the tomb-he is ALIVE in their midst-they BELIEVED-yet they doubted


Jesus told the disciples that he would live-that he would RISE from the dead-even with PROOF-with Jesus right in front of them-the human condition was shining through-THEY WANTED to believe-yet they questioned and they doubted


HOW about you and me? DO you believe the Scriptures-do you BELIEVE-the eyewitness testimony-WE PROFESS that Jesus is ALIVE-that God is ALIVE in this world-but do you really BELIEVE IT?


I can only ANSWER for MYSELF-I was never so sure of anything in my ENTIRE LIFE-GOD IS ALIVE-JESUS IS ALIVE-He is alive IN YOU AND IN ME


Dear Lord-we PRAY that we may be witnesses to you in this world-we may be WITNESSES to you-even when FAITH AND DOUBT coexist


WE BELIEVE!


It is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and a great day for having FAITH in God and for BELIEVING that Jesus Christ is ALIVE-and in our very midst


it is a GREAT DAY for BELIEVING

Over and over again

OUR GOD IS ALIVE


“Jesus said,
‘I tell you the truth
If you have faith and do not doubt
Not only
Can you do what was done
To the fig tree
But you can also say
To the mountain
‘Go throw yourself into the sea’
And it will be done
If you BELIEVE
You will receive
Whatever you ask for in prayer’” Matthew 21:22

GOD will not disappoint

“He (John the Baptist) came as a witness
To testify
Concerning that BELIEF
So that through him
ALL MEN WILL BELIEVE” John 1:7


“He himself
Was NOT the light (JESUS was)
He came only as a witness
To the light
The true light
That gives light to every man
Was coming into the world” John 1:8 & 9


And if you
Do not believe
In John’s testimony
Or believe
In my faith and testimony


BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLES
For no miracle
Was ever performed by Jesus
Without faith
By the one
Who received the miracle


“WHY then
Do you accuse me of blasphemy
Because I said
‘I am God’s Son’


Do not believe me
Unless I do what my Father does


But if I do it
Even though you do not believe me
BELIEVE THE MIRACLES
That you may know and understand
That the Father is in me
And I in the Father” John 10:37 & 38


Dear Lord-WE BELIEVE
