Subject: do you have ot ''see'' to believe?

can you believe.......... without 'seeing' something happen.......for yourself,.,?
<><><><><><.
just knowing that Christ .......is still working through his children.... this day and age... makes it a time for rejoicing,,,....for the followers of God,.....

Seeing The Lord work ......in the hearts of other sisters and brothers.......brings renewed joy ....to every spiritual child.....reassuring them and helping their own faith to grow .....exceedingly... .This shows.... in His way...... to them ....that they should use the gifts of God...... for the helping of others........that is why they are bestowed upon you...not for profit for ......self or inflated egos....

if not used for the Lord's great cause..... the gifts will surely be removed from the believer....

we receive the Master Savior inside of our heart and life..... and he becomes number one...... if not he is 'none.'.....

:because ;The lord will never play as second...... to no-one or nothing..... when Christ is recieved into your heart...... the follower ....by faith,,.... comes also as another teacher ......giving to children of God ..... answers to revelations ......,to be studied out .....and pondered upon..

.The followers of Christ are not made as judges. ...they are made to love oneanother .....and help lift each other up .....never to down others.for their faith.... one who sits in condemnation ,;.....all of the time of his brothers .....is not worthy of being .....called a brother.....

Jesus speaks pure peace ot our soul ......not condemnation of each other....never..

.Peace is expected and received ......in the heart of the true believer.... at all times......around all people....... being in special prayer for those ....you would otherwise condemn...

.The Child of God is known and shown to all ......by the love they have for one another ...not the scorn....

We need to build one another up in faith ,,,by being the example that was shown to us ......by our elder brother ...Jesus ......

if we go about carrying hate ......for 'any cause' in our heart ..... it is time to have ourselfs checked out by the master....by the master creator to rid us of 'all flaws' .....so that we may serve him in perfection and love.....

How can we love God ......who we have never seen .....but we can hate his 'image'. who we deal with daily....?..
no.... this should never be.......

.Remember Thomas could not make himself.... believe that the master still lived .....he could not believe..... because he had seen him so cruely die ....thomas had faith..... but it was little ....

He had not enough to believe in his his brother's words...that he was still alive......
Thomas limited God .....by his unbelief.....and was embarrassed ....when Jesus said ''here put your fingers in the holes in my hands......and your fist in my side'........i am alive...... can you not believe .......with out seeing for yourself...?

may the breathe of the lord..... bring to you renewed life this day..... and keep you in line ......for the rest of your life...... in Jesus name. .. jennywren. Ezekiel 37:9
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live John 3:8
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 20:22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, ''Receive ye the Holy Ghost'''(the holy Ghost is invisible like air.)
James 3:4
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
