To Believe or Not Believe The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. Matthew 8:8 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58 As I read these 2 verses today I see one man who knew and believed in Christ our Lord and His power and authority; he knew the natural as well as the supernatural and in this he humbled himself in saying "I'm not worthy that You may come to my home" the word worthy in the Greek is hikano's which means sufficient enough. He basically said Jesus I am not sufficient enough that You may enter my home, what a beautiful picture of this centurion to know his position and yet humble himself before the Lord. "With humility comes honor. With honor comes access. With access comes authority." I read this in this devotionals, the truth is this is the way God works in our lives, when we humble ourselves before Him, He will work mighty works in us. But when there is pride, arrogance, and the hardening of the hearts there is no way that God can perform His purpose in your lives as we can see in the second verse, their unbelief didn't allow for Jesus to heal and deliver those in this place. We can see in the book of James 1:6-8 it says: But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. And as we continue to read the next two verses it states how the lowly which means humbled how God exalts them, while he who is rich God humbles. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ef8ecFcqP/?igshid=15ddjhmgizag5

Es una visión a largo plazo, pero vuela hacia su cumplimiento y no fallará; aunque se demore, tú espérala, porque ciertamente se cumplirá sin retraso. Habacuc 2:3 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0VsfOJlLge/?igshid=tsqfsxqxx1w7

📖 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 . . 📖 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. II Timothy 4:7 . . So what is the Christian calling?

📖 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; Job 19:25 . . What a wonderful promise, yes our Redeemer once was here and He came to deliver us from our sins also making it possible for us to draw near to God, Yeshua became our intercessor. Once I was dead in spirit, but He breath life in me again the day I believed that He gave His last breath on the cross for me. This promise was not only for me, but to all who believe, it is by faith and not sight. This might sound hard to comprehend, but the truth is when you put your trust on the one who gave you life you will actually live for the first time in your life. I don't know what this may look like for you, but for me I can say "finally now I know why I am!". ... 📖 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:16‭-‬19 . 📖 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:34. . 📖 For we walk by faith, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7 . . 📖 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬13 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXjR06l2Vy/?igshid=nvxvwcofe75u

Jesus knew frustration: “He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.… ‘Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!’” John 2:15-16. Jesus knew weariness: “Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well” John 4:6. (To tell the good news and truth that the samaritan women may be saved) Jesus knew disappointment: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem…how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks,…but you were not willing” Luke 13:34. Jesus knew rejection: “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him” John 6:66.

Falling on their knees, they paid [mocking] homage to him” Mark 15:19. Jesus knew loneliness: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46.. .... From time to time you may feel this way, but there is hope, if you have faith in the One who knew and knows and yet would never leave you He will be there. . . 📖 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, I Timothy 2:5‭-‬6 . . 📖 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

📖 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord ; Lord, hear my voice! Let Your ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. If You, Lord , should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

📖 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

Psalms 127:1-3. . 📖 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByILkVjFiKt/?igshid=12uq0t183dzwh

Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord , is everlasting strength. Isaiah 26:3‭-‬4 . . ~~~~~~~~ The things of this world can bring chaos, destruction and take away our joy and not the temporal and empty joy this world brings, but that, that is of God a calmness of the soul that though this world can bring afflictions Gods peace and joy stirs the tranquility and assurance that He is with us, and we can say with confidence "this too shall pass." It's that agape love He gives, undeserving love that was granted through our Lord Jesus Christ who became our sacrifice, who paid our penalty of death, who completed the works that we may live. Let your minds simmer in this the peace of God surpasses all knowledge and our understanding so stop trying to figure God out and let Him show you who He is in spirit and in truth.. ~~~~~~~~ https://www.instagram.com/p/BxuV9I7F0Ic/?igshid=b8tkuzfwkree

God’s Kingdom... . . God is not democratic. His Kingdom is not a democracy. He is never subject to our whim or rule. The only real authority we ultimately have with God is the right to completely rule Him out of our lives. You can do that. But who in their right minds wants to? That’s the decision of those who refuse Christ, who reject God’s redemption and rule through His appointed King. . But once I receive Jesus Christ as Savior, He enters to become Lord. Once my choice is to “rule Him in,” He comes in to rule! He takes over at Master-control and exercises God’s Kingdom rule to achieve our best blessing and highest destiny. . Taking Hold of Tomorrow. . . 📖 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
