The Thomas kind of faith


“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” John 20:29


You remember Thomas? When Jesus first appeared to the disciples, he was not there. When he was told that Jesus had resurrected, he said he would not believe until he had seen Jesus and was able to touch his side. His kind of faith is “seeing is believing.” That kind of faith does not work and is alien to the family of God. Jesus said to him, “blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.” In the family of God, we believe first before seeing. That is the faith that works.
“When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.” Mark 5:27-29
 “For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.” 2 kings 3:15

The blessing of God, His supernatural manifestation and divine intervention are all accessed by believing and acting on the belief. The fact that you have not seen rain does not mean there would not be water. If you believe, there will be water, whether the season is dry or is wet. The woman with the issue of blood got over twelve years of problem by first believing. When she acted on her belief, she got her expected result.

May you believe God and see the fulfilment of His promises every day of your life.

Prayer for today: God give me the capability to believe you for the impossible in Jesus name.
Call to Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
