Do you believe in Yeshua? Truly believe?
Define “Believe”

Spirit man: Let’s read Romans 10:11 “For the scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.'”
Carnal man: But I see Yahweh’s people put to shame all the time.
Spirit man: As the scripture says: “Anyone who trusts in Him (Yahshua) will never be put to shame.”
Carnal man: I don’t get it. Maybe I should pray and seek wisdom.
Spirit man: “Yes, wisdom is in here; it is carried in His vessels. Please define “trust” for me.”
Carnal man: I can’t.
Spirit man: May I take over then?
Carnal man: I guess.
Spirit man: Thank you. To trust Yahshua, and therefore prove belief, is to leave behind your own agenda and defer to His and your Heavenly Father’s will at all times. This pattern of thinking always takes into account Proverbs 14:12; “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death,” as well as Hebrews 11:1; “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” You see, you must learn to believe in what you do not understand and cannot see; all the while trusting you will not be put to shame. In order to reach the fullness of what the Father and Son have planned for your life, you must step into the unknown like a child who knows his Father will catch him if he falls. Give in and let the work of the torture stake have its way in you. Either way, at some point you will have to step into the promise of Daniel 9:24; “Finish transgression and make an end of sins.” Start trusting now and receive today’s reward. Don’t delay; today may be all you have.
Carnal man: Can I just watch?
Spirit man: I expected no less.
A Bridge You Can Cross
The evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)
There are times in our lives when
Something happens which does not make sense.
“Why Father, why?”… We cry.
“I will drag you where you refuse to go, My child,” He answers.
“Lay down your burdens at My feet.
Although there appears to be no bridge,
Leap with faith across the span
And you will find your foot touches solid ground.
For I Am the Rock upon which sits the lighthouse.
The beacon in your heart sounding through the darkness,
Calling to your soul at the very times you cannot see the way,
When you are blind to victory you have in Me.
Oh My child, My ways are not yet your ways
For they are as high as the stars.
All that happens in your life is to glorify Me
Should you choose the truth.
For I Am the truth!
And the truth will set you free.
Free to cross even the bridge you cannot see.”
