Today's "Grace Inspirations" by Joseph Prince contains a vital TRUTH that will make all the difference in receiving all that God has provided for us in our new and better Covenant!
NOTHING TO DO, ONLY BELIEVE
John 6:28–29 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works
of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you
believe in Him whom He sent.”
When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what
we must do to “work the works of God.” I was told that we had to pray more,
fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused.
Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very
different!
In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same
question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do,
that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick,
and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish.
Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God,
that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is
believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all for you at the
cross!
If you are asking, “What must I do to receive my healing?”
the answer is this: Believe in Jesus, who “Himself took our infirmities and
bore our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17). We have seen members of our church
delivered from life-threatening conditions such as cancer and kidney failure.
They had simply believed that Jesus bore their diseases on His own body. There
was nothing for them to do, except to believe.
When the jailer asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs, what must I do
to be saved?” they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be
saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:30–31). The greatest miracle in your
life happens not by you working and trying to save yourself, but by you simply
believing in Jesus who died to save you from eternal damnation and to give you
eternal life. Why then, should the lesser miracles of healing or financial
breakthroughs be any different?
Beloved, what is the miracle you need today? There is
nothing left for you to do, but everything for you to believe,
because Jesus has done it all for you!
AMEN! The whole message of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST is that HE paid it ALL for us! The WORD on it is: "Only believe!" (Mark 5:36 & Luke 8:50). Practice being a DOER of THAT Word and you will find your faith growing and the manifestations coming faster! It is simply trusting completely that God said what He meant and MEANS what He said! NOW! For YOU! AMEN! Here is Sarah Hart Pearsons with "It Is Finished":Shalom in Him!
