    The foundation of the Christian faith is built on belief. What you believe

    will affect how you believe. Our foundation is the Word of God.

 

    Matt 11:1-6 tells of John the Baptist in prison. His circumstances caused

    him to question his faith. John asks his disciples if “Are you the Coming

    one or do we look for another?” V3 Jesus reply was - “Tell John what you

    see! and hear! - The blind see – the lame walk – the lepers are cleansed –

    the deaf hear – the dead are raised – the poor have the Gospel preached

    unto them!” (v4-5) By saying this, Jesus wanted to change Johns focus from

    a ‘prison mentality’ to Himself.

 

    Question: What do you believe? The ‘prison’ of circumstances or Gods

    Promises?

 

    What you ‘see’ will determine what you believe and what you believe will

    determine what you speak. (V6) in The Passion Translation says it like

    this:- “Tell John that the blessing of Heaven comes upon those that never

    lose faith in Me – no matter what happens.” That's Believing!

 

    Mark 16:15-20 -records the mandate for the Church “These signs will follow

    those who believe…...the Lord working with them confirming the Word through

    signs following.”

 

    Nothing is impossible to those who believe.

 

    Have a blessed week.
