Yesterday I was reading John 11 and John chapter 16. In chapter 11 it is the story of Lazarus being dead and raised......When I was reading this story which I have read and heard preached on 50,000 ways something new jumped out at me , in verse 15 it's the disciples responding to Jesus telling them about Lazarus being "asleep" There response is he will rest and wake up feeling fine, Jesus responds with he is dead , then comes our with Lazarus died, And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there, You're about to be given new grounds for believing, come let's go. WOW, now to go to chapter 16 verse 27 it says "Because you have gone out on a limb, committed yourselves to love and trust in me BELIEVING I came directly from the Father, the Father loves you directly.
Threes that word again believe. The definition of believe is: to accept something as true, genuine, or real <ideals we believe in>

Hmm so when you say God I believe I believe you are going to change this generation, I believe you are going to heal my heart, I believe you will use me, I believe you will speak to me and I will go into the nations, I believe I am your child and you will never leave me and never forsake me, I believe that all things you have promised me will come to pass and you will use me!!! I believe you will capture every young person’s heart and you will use them to impact their families and schools and they will change the world!
Have you ever had someone tell you they believe in you? What does that do to your heart? For me it brings encouragement and pushes me forward because I know that someone believes in me and they believe I can do anything!!! It brings a smile to my face.....
I believe when we begin to believe that God can and will supply ALL our needs, that He can and will CHANGE THIS GENERATION, that He is amazing and he LOVES us UNCONDITIONALLY, That He will USE US, That He is a HEALING GOD and a LOVING GOD ......
when we begin to believe really believe and trust and have faith in God it brings a smile to His face..... And it changes our perspective on things in life and life in general.
God is amazing and just like with the disciples and Lazarus when He died Jesus said" i am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there, you’re about to be given new grounds for believing, come let's go." Becuase he wanted them to believe and have faith at that moment so they could be stretched ,pushed, encouraged and in the moment they believed God gave them new ground...He opened new doors.....
It's time to really believe .........have faith & trust like never before you never know what "new ground, new door,new path" God will open and take you through.
It's time to believe
