Are We Facing Pontius Pilate? Where is Our Miracle?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Greater than Jesus?

What are the works and miracles we do in the name of Jesus? Are they greater than those He was able to do, or by lacking are we a disappointment to ourselves, and God? To get to the root of this particular scripture we must explore our belief, understanding, and ability to pray effectively. And we must also look deeper into the wording of this passage of scripture… does it imply we will be more able than Christ was, or simply that we will carry on those things He was doing in His life to a new height?

The Mystery of a Higher Calling

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Higher Calling

The calling, what is it? Why does the Lord ask some to deliver His word and the Gospel to the world in a greater, or higher, way than is usual among believers? Pastors, prophets, and missionaries have felt this urging since Jesus first called His apostles. The calling in them is unquenchable and the need to preach the gospel, prophesy, or reach out to those who have not heard the good news can't be resisted.

Worldly Faith, and our Greater Faith in God

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Greater Faith in God

Does our faith make us righteous? When we are doing the hard things in life are we able to lean on God with sufficient trust, knowing that He is not only more than capable of doing what He has promised, but will do it? When we believe with this much strength in the Lord then there is no room left for doubting Him, or for us to claim or reassign a shred of His glory as He is working.
