"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him". Hebrews 11:6 reveals how faith is so important that it is impossible to please God without it. What would you say is the greatest area, among believers, where faith is lacking?

Man should trust Jesus because man could not make this world. The bible, air, Jesus, where man came from all is supernatural. A lot of things cannot be explained but we believe in them like matter. Prayer works, and if prayer works this means someone had to answer the prayers. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not see. Faith is invisible but real and it helps you believe in an invisible God. You believe your paycheck will be in the bank every Friday that's fa...
A person can trust Jesus even when they are unsure whether the supernatural realm exists because Jesus first presents Himself through His life, character, and teachings, not just through supernatural claims. We see that in the life of Christ, He met people where they were in life. He addressed fear, injustice, suffering, and moral failure. We can ask the question, why did people follow Him before they fully understood His divine nature? Because His words brought hope, truth, and clarity to ...
This is almost the abstraction of faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Faith is this blind belief that we can trust in what God has said is real. In the video, the speaker says miracles happen and are possible, so we can believe the supernatural exists. He says there is a design, there must be a designer and therefore we can trust God. Jesus’ life had purpose and scripture points to this in John 20:30-31 Jesus performed m...
Trusting in Jesus can lead a person to bear witness to supernatural things. As Jesus says in John 20:29 (NLT), You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me. This verse reminds us that faith does not begin with seeing, it begins with trusting. Faith is a journey that we do not walk alone. Jesus leads us into understanding step by step, meeting us where we are. Proverbs 3:5â€6 (NLT): Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own under...
I know that Jesus is real, I have had some encounters in my life, that it was no one but God that brought me through. I'm reminded of the scripture In Luke 22:31-32 Jesus tells Simon Peter that Satan desired to sift him as wheat but that he prayed for him that his faith fails not. We are here because of Jesus, also in John 17:6-26 tells of a prayer Jesus prayed to the Father for his disciples and future believers which is us and those which are to come. This prayer is also called the High Priest...
Oftentimes when the supernatural is being manifest, many people will question whether its real or not based on the fact that the world we live in teaches that there is a natural reason for everything. This world cannot comprehend what it cannot explain. However, we Jesus was sent to Earth, He came to show the World that there is indeed a real God. In John 14:9-10 when Phillip asked to see the Father, Jesus answered, Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. In verse 10 he went on to say, Don...
As we grow in trust, He reveals more, often giving us a deeper glimpse of what He already sees within us. Trust is not a one time decision it is something we continue to learn, lean on, and rely upon daily. As our trust deepens, so does our ability to recognize God’s work both seen and unseen just as it was meant to be.
The existence of the earth and all we know about it is supernatural. In Genesis 1:1 it says that God created the heavens and the earth. I remember when I used to be an unbeliever and really knew nothing about Jesus, only what I had heard, that Christians were hypocrites. After my divorce at the age of 34 I was so broken and my felt like my literal soul had been shattered down to my core. None of the African rituals and praying to the creator helped me in my downward spiral. It felt like I was ...
