God has a sense of humour. I will give an example. On May 14, 1948 Israel was recognised as a nation. By May 15th, five countries attacked them to take the country from them. During that war a discovery of an inscribed circular stone was made by the East Gate. That stone was historical evidence of the existence of Judea as a separate state under Roman command outside of the Bible. The war was said to be about reclaiming the land that belonged to the Arabs because Judea did not exist. Do you get it?

As we see the amazing things that happen after our spoken word we tell others. We declare, affirm, and testify. Jesus gave the word and then the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 happened. The word was activated. But it also works the other way around too!
We have to be willing to see the word in action. It doesn't just happen though. It comes from knowing God's word and having revelation and relationship with God. Jesus said He came to fulfil the word. We have to give witness of the fulfilment of the word. We have to be like a child looking to see the wonders of the world and make discoveries. The Bible is filled with so many nuances and mysteries. It is so incredibly rich that there is much to understand and to prove.
It drives me nuts when Christians allow others to undermine the historical value of the content in the Bible. The word of God is not a book of stories. It is important to understand this. There are many lives and people who depend on the Bible as a historical document. It records accurately what others distort, destroy or loose.
Validation for Israel's right to exist as a nation is through the proof of the Bible. It is a demonic attack on both Christians and Jews to discredit the word of God. Remember by agreeing to this way of thinking you are saying Jesus did not exist and Jesus is not the truth nor is the Bible accurate and credible.
I don't just see God but I experience God through relationship. Many Christians are afraid to extend faith. They are afraid to stand on God's word. They are afraid it would not prove to be true. Sometimes when we talk about the Second Coming of Christ we are met with derision. That is ok. Noah endured this for many years.
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1: 16
Our commitment to Christ is to prove the fulfilment of the scripture in our lives. That is our testimony. Through living in Christ our hope we are able to do as the disciples did. Jesus this humble man would not be accepted as Messiah because they were expecting a man in splendour. Yet the disciples said they saw his majesty. Through revelation and relationship we will see His majesty.
I pray that you feel energised and able through Christ in Jesus name. With a willingness to have relationship with God, read the word and live it. I promise you life will look very different.
If you do not know Jesus as your Saviour, you can pray this prayer of conversion:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. In Jesus name I pray. Thank you.
