FAITH PRESCRIPTION: Eliminate doubt by celebrating Jesus’ resurrection every moment.

Mathew 11

It is written, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus came for man and paid it all on the cross for man to have life abundantly.
Knowing to be celebrating Jesus’ resurrection should be the evidence of faith. Faith will deny fear that is rooted in doubt. What is it that is causing you to have doubt instead of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? With doubt fear will eventually come to place. Where there is fear or when fear is rising, faith will sink. The Bible identifies the source of faith stating, “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) Engage hearing and hearing by the word of God, allow faith to rise while fear resting on doubt to sink.
John the Baptist doubted Jesus. It is written, “And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” (Matthew 11:2-3) Many are celebrating Jesus once in a while is like positioning self in the prison of doubt. John the Baptist, was in government’s prison, while spending time in prison he doubted Jesus. Evidently, John was in double prison. It was John that baptized Jesus but doubted about who Jesus was. It is written, “Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him” (Matthew 3:13) John the Baptist bears witness of Jesus, “…Behold The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’ (John 1:29-30) John also exalted Jesus when he stated that, “He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all.” (John 3:31)
Despite all which John the Baptist testified about Jesus, when he was in the prison of his life, he doubted Jesus. John wanting to know what he already knew testified to John only know about Jesus. Remember you have heard it all and you have seen it all; if you will hold on to all that you have known you will depart from doubt and not dwell in fear. Jesus’ response to John’s doubt speaks to all with doubts, “…Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” (Mathew 11:4-5) Where there is doubt faith has a tendency to drown. Give self to meaningful celebration of Jesus by celebrating Jesus’ resurrection every moment.

Prayer for today: Ask for grace of God to keep you that your faith will not allow doubt and fear over your life.
