Personal development coaches and motivational speakers often will say “Believe you can or believe it cannot, either way you are probably right.” It is an interesting phenomenon that your belief has an effect on the outcome.
The bible describes a similar situation in Matthew 13. Jesus arrives in his hometown, and people question how this son of the local carpenter could be so knowledgable and be able to perform miracles. Rather than opening their hearts and having faith, the people are skeptical and resistant. Verse 58 says, “He (Jesus) did not do many miracles there, because of their lack of faith.” Are we the skeptical and resistant, or do we have the faith and belief that God can and will do miracles in our lives?
Dear Lord, help us with our unbelief and give us faith in your unlimited power to do miracles. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Strong conviction in Christianity is difficult
True faith is paramount to the ability to hang in ,when questions arise, troubles don’t seem answered and lifes ups and downs seem overwhelming. Some Christians deal with these frustrations better than others. However, FAITH
Is always the answer. It’s the basis of our belief,therefore, we should ask the Holy Spirt to guide ,strengthen and ofer his help in allowing us too grow stronger in our understanding of faith daily.
Well said! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13
