SIGNS AND WONDERS

John 4:48 (NKJV) 48 ..., "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."
     The religion of most people is one of belief in God, however belief, does not produce salvation and escape from the judgment of God. Listen to James 2:19 (NKJV) 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! What then is the answer to religion and belief, I am glad you asked?
     The heart is the seat of emotions, from God's perspective, He sees the focus and intent of the heart of people. Science may insist, that is not where thought takes place, however, without the heart and the continuous beating no other function in the human will exist.
     My nature and the heart beat go hand in hand to expose what I believe. By nature we demand proof of senses or we will not respond. Meaning if I can touch, taste, see, smell, or feel it I can believe it, God requires that faith instead of sense be our guide. That causes a problem because we are trained from birth to obey the sense to live and remain safe in this life, the denial of the obvious is where we run head on into God's plan for man. God's gift to people is in Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, correct discernment, is necessary to supply the need for faith to act.
     Jesus says, "You must believe," many say I do, however their actions say differently, the refusal to trust God with every area of the life we live is the evidence, we do not believe, we only accept. That is not going to give us eternal life, we must have faith that sees God working Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, our faith in God is the key. Do you believe God will rescue you from judgment and sins consequences, He will, if you ask in faith, His Son to forgive you and come into your life!
Heavenly Father, may we set aside the sense of knowing my way will work and trust You in faith, to work through us. Let Your breath oh God fill our lungs and let us breath Your life to others. Amen
