Just Believe


Numbers 14:11 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
What evidence has God already shown you that He is God and that He does exist? The very air you breathe, that you breathe at all is solid proof that God is!Look around you, how can you possibly believe that this beauty just happened. That a giant boom created all of this?
A giant boom did happen, when God said let there be light! BOOM – there was light.
When God separated the firmament:  Genesis 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. BOOM! The earth and the sky exists.

Matthew 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Faith believes that God IS, first, then signs and wonders will be evident. Jesus was there on the cross, everything He had done was denied by these crucifying Him. They were lying when they tempted Him to show His power. He could have came down. They didn’t believe Him before when He walked about doing good, healing and raising the dead. Why would they believe now?

 Deuteronomy 1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,


What have you lost by not believing God? He tells us in His Word, you have not because you ask not. James 4:2

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Believe! You can believe this, that all those things you did in your life, God himself was watching over you. Keeping you safe even if you don’t acknowledge it. He was there with you all the time. Ever watchful, waiting for you to “see” Him and know Him!
Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
John 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
 25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
 26 ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
YOU MUST BELIEVE TO HAVE SALVATION. You must believe that God is (exists), you must believe that Jesus Christ is the propitiation for our sins, you must believe that God is just and true.

1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
This is not just another fairy tale. Be not deceived, God is real, Jesus died for our sins, and the ONLY way to salvation and Heaven is through Jesus. The great I am, the door, just knock and it shall be opened unto you
Seek and you shall find Him. He is waiting on you.
Believe that God loves you. Believe that salvation is for you. Believe!

In Him is hope, in Him is whatever you need. He even hears and sends you the desires of your heart. He will make your enemies be at peace with you. They won’t even know why. Whatever is troubling, a problem in your life… give it to Him. Let Him have control of your life.
We often want to fix things ourself. We think no one else can do it but “me”. At the very least, no one will or can do “it” to our satisfaction of how we want it. Well, I have to ask, how is that working out for you? Unless you have Jesus on your side, working on your behalf – I can answer that for you. It Isn’t working! Without the hope of glory, without Christ, all we have is despair, heartache and pain with no way out.
Oh, but there is a way out. Believe on the Lord, He is your way out. Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Not even just for you, a way of escape for your loved ones too. They will see what He has done for you and want to follow.
1Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

I watched a video today of a womans testimony: 

 A muslim woman had followed Islams rituals all of her life. Nothing was going right for her. He Mom was dying with MS, she had prayed to Allah all of her life. She decided to just end it and kill herself. Her Mom said if you do this, you must kill me too.
They made the agreement they would do this on a specific day and time.
Then on the day, on the tv her Mom was watching a preacher who said if you are planning suicide and ending your life, call me. Call me right now.

The young woman got angry when she heard her Mom on the phone with the evangelist. She told her she would go to hell for praying to Jesus. She should pray to allah. Why was she committing blaspheme in the last few minutes of her life? The Mom pled with her daughter to just talk to this minister. The daughter refused. Mom dropped her head crying. Then the daughter came back and took the phone.
The minister spent more than an hour on the phone with her. She would not be swayed. Finally, he told her “you said yourself the Allah had never done anything for you. Give Jesus one week. You can still kill yourself in one week.”
She agreed. In one week she would tell Allah that even her death was for him.
The next morning she awoke to a sound. She got up and found her Mom walking. Walking perfectly. She took her Mom to the hospital immediately.They tested her and found she no longer had MS. They argued; with the daughter telling him it must be a mistake. The doctor said “no”it is a miracle. No MS. He asked her what Imam she had prayed to. She told him, no Imam. She had prayed to Jesus.
When she said those words, her heart was changed. She knew Jesus was real. He had shown her that He was the living God. He healed her Mom completely. “He cleansed and filled me. Today her and her Mom are apostates (muslims that convert to christianity, punishable by death in Iran). They risk their lives working in the underground church in Iran.


Believe! He is real, He is sovereign, He is the supreme God today, yesterday and forever the same.
