4 Days Of Seeing Is Believingનમૂનો
If the truth be told, sometimes we have trouble believing. We have trouble exercising the faith that we may want to exercise, but it just seems to escape us.
I want you to use the strategy of Mark 2:1-12. Here was a man who was in a situation he couldn’t fix, but he got a few of his friends to lift him up, cut a hole in the roof and drop him down before Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, He healed the man.
In fact, He healed him not only physically but spiritually. “Your sins are forgiven” (v. 5). Sometimes, we need some help and that’s why being in a community of people whose faith you can piggyback on is vital, especially when your faith is too weak to go on its own. It would be great if in every situation, we had this awesome confidence in God. But sometimes circumstances have made our spiritual immune system weak and we just can’t get there on our own. It even takes faith to entrust yourself to others who have the faith you need. This man had to allow them to pick him up, hoist him up, and trust them not to drop him as they lowered him through the roof of the house, believing that it would make a difference.
You need to have some spiritual people in your life whom you could lean on. I remember one time, a gentleman came in to my office who was desperate but he was weak in faith. And he just grabbed me and held on to me with tears running down his eyes. He wanted me to believe with him, because he couldn’t just get there on his own, so I loaned him what I had because he even had faith to look for faith.
So, make sure you don’t let your weak faith stop you from getting together with others who can hoist you up as long as they are taking you to Jesus.

About this Plan
We are all familiar with the phrase, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” It means that a person won’t accept something on blind faith, they need evidence before committing to believing it. But the spiritual life of a Christian reverses that and says, “Believing is seeing.” Tony Evans explains how Christians can see miracles if they commit to believing first.
