FAITH PRESCRIPTION: Eliminate doubt, and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus every moment. 

Mathew 11 

The word of Jesus speaks to all:
“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.” (John 10:10) 
Jesus came for all on the cross to give abundant life.
Indeed, He has risen, and life abundantly is in place for all that will live life by the word of God.
Knowing to be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus should be the evidence of faith. 
One with faith will deny the fear which encases doubt. 
Where there is fear or when fear is rising, faith will sink. 
The Bible identifies the source of faith, “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) 
Just as faith comes by hearing and hearing, faith will depart by not hearing and hearing the word of God.
Engage hearing and hearing by the word of God to gain faith. 
John the Baptist was in prison when he demonstrated doubt about who Jesus was. 
Matthew 11:2-3 records, “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?”  
Celebrating Jesus demands having faith and not doubt.
John the Baptist baptized testifies the time when he baptized Jesus by saying, “…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 saying, “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 demonstrated doubt, the evidence that he does not know God but knows about God.
The majority have heard it all, seen it all about Jesus but could not hold on to Him in trust and hope the evidence they do not know God but know about Him. 
The response of Jesus to the doubt of John also speaks to all doubting believers. 
Jesus sent to John in doubt and the prison of life, “…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) 
When doubt is in place, faith is bound to drown. 
Give self to the meaningful celebration of the resurrection of Jesus every moment. 
He has risen!

Prayer for today: Ask that your faith will not allow doubt and fear over your life.
