Hello believing ones!

John 14:12 says,

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who BELIEVES IN ME the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

BELIEVE IN HIM! What a word! God’s Word changes us as we enter into fellowship and communion with Him.

Jesus drew the hearts of the people to Himself ~ they came to Him with all their needs and He relieved them all. Luke 4:18-19 says,

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to:

Preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives,

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Jesus healed the sick, relieved the oppressed, and cast out demons. Then He turns right around and says in John 14:12, “He who BELIEVES IN ME, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

Did you hear that family? We have become supernatural by the power of God. If you BELIEVE IN HIM, the power of the enemy cannot stand because God’s Word is against Him!

According to Mark 11:22-24, if you have FAITH IN GOD, whatever you desire, if you can believe in your heart, receive it, and dare to speak it, you will have it, if you do not doubt.

So, what does BELIEVING IN HIM mean? It means, we walk by faith and NOT by sight. An example of this can be found in Romans 4:19-21,

And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

So, BELIEVING IN HIM means that we do not consider the circumstances. It means that we do not waver at the promises of God. It means we become strong in our faith in Him (BELIEVING IN HIM), give Him glory, and are fully convinced that what God has promised us through His Word, He is able to perform.

On the contrary, Thomas only considered what he could see and feel. He said in John 20:25,

“Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

Thomas could have chosen to believe. So, Jesus goes on to say in verse 27,

“Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

Hebrews 12:2 admonishes us to look unto JESUS and to consider Him, not our weaknesses. Consider all He did for you, all He is doing for you, and all He will continue to do for you!

Be encouraged because one of my Bible teachers taught me that you can believe in your heart, but have doubt in your head. If this is the case, I want to let you know that there is nothing wrong with your faith!

Remember this: Heart faith grows out of the Word! So, put the Word first place and make it your final authority to settle all your questions and concerns. He will not fail you! He is watching over His Word to perform it in your lives (Jeremiah 1:12).
