Belief in the Kingdom – Part 2
Dr RJ Sing
“But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].”
When we come to God, we must believe that He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. The three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were delivered from the fiery furnace because they trusted God (Daniel 3:26-28). Trust is an expression of our commitment to God and His Word and to trust Him means to rely on Him.
Jesus words carried so much power, that when He spoke, He saw immediate results. Jesus gave this empowerment to us and now, we also have the ability to speak and see instant results. Jesus taught that when we speak in faith, having no doubt in our hearts, we can move mountains. We can have what we say. Mark 11:20-23 “In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree You cursed has withered!” 22“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.”
When we pray, believing that we have received what we asked for, we will have it.
