Have you found Jesus, and now you are attempting to reach out and bring others to Him? Well, are you certain you really know who He is? If you think you have sought and found Him, I wonder, because we don’t find Him through searching... God draws, or calls, us to Him. And, is there a great mystery in this?
We believe in God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but although we believe, is that enough? When the Lord tells us to step out beyond our belief, in faith alone, do we have it in full measure? Can we walk into the unknown by leaning on Him completely; abandoning the comfort we have grown accustomed to, and trusting enough to journey into unknown circumstances? To receive his inheritance Abraham had to go out as God commanded him to do, and to redeem the world Jesus had to take on our sin, and venture into death. To do these things it took more than hope… it took faith, and beyond that, a firm belief.
When we are in need of a miraculous healing, defense, or some other thing that is beyond our ability, we come to the Lord in prayer. We meet Jesus, and ask Him to step into our lives and provide what we need, but do we really believe He can do what we are asking? Jesus will ask us about our faith, and we will most likely say that we believe, but do we really? Are we ready to hand our problem to Him with absolute certainty that He is able to do this?
