This web site was created to glorify God through the words of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that as you read Jesus' words you would be spiritually enlightened, enriched, and encouraged. Additionally, we have included biblical and historical information about Jesus' early life and His ministry on earth.

Believing in God's Power

Jesus preached that believing is imperative for anything we request from God - Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them – Mark 11:24. His message is that unless we believe, God's power cannot be manifested in our lives for healing, protection or anything else. People, who do not believe that God hears and answers prayer, do not call on Him for help when facing life’s challenges. Yet, Jesus assures us that whenever we pray and believe, we open our lives for God to meet our physical and spiritual needs – “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22. Believing in God’s power is the catalyst for releasing our faith as well as keeping us from doubting even when situations and circumstances seem unchanged. Additionally, belief in God’s promises and prayer strengthens us spiritually while we wait for manifestation of His answer - “…. men ought always to pray and not to faint,..”- Luke 18:1. We must guard against letting fear, unbelief or doubt cause us to miss out on manifestation of God’s supernatural power in our lives.  

Jesus teaches that what we believe can impact our lives positively or negatively. Specifically, He is referring to how our beliefs can significantly affect our ability to overcome trials and survive life’s challenges - “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” - Mark 11:23. This verse reveals two critical truths about believing. First, Jesus is telling us that what we believe and say will influence our decisions which ultimately are manifested in our lives. The second is that our positive beliefs, specifically those based on faith in God’s power, along with seeking His guidance, will materialize with His best for us. Conversely, when we embrace pessimistic beliefs and compound them with similar declarations they too manifest in our lives. Realistically, life is filled with countless challenges and problems that are often intense as well as complex causing many to respond negatively. Yet we can diminish the effects of crippling emotions by feeding our spirits with prayer, reading God’s word, and focusing on positive rather than negative thinking. Believing in God's power is the catalyst for releasing our faith for Him to bring us through any physical or spiritual crisis. Plus, faith takes us beyond our limited human expectations to experience what is God’s best for us; sometimes with even what seemed impossible. But as we believe and watch His answers unfold, God’s peace fills our troubled minds. This is the reason Jesus says - “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me - John 14:1.

 A Prayer for Believing

Almighty God, I praise and thank You for all that I am, and everything that You have ordained for me to be. I accept the words of Jesus when He says that all things are possible if I believe. Please help me to stand firm on Your word and always believe what it says. Father, I believe that your power helps me to live my purpose and accomplish my goals.
