The Power of Belief

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 26Sep25

The Power of Belief

Scripture Reference: Jn 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.

Team Jesus gathered in the upper room, their hearts weighed down as they grappled with the difficult truth of Christ's upcoming departure. During this moment, Jesus shared teachings that still hold meaning for us today.

  • Not to fix our gaze on inward fears.
  • But lift our eyes in faith look outwards towards Him
  • To press forward, rely in on His strength
  • Not to be trapped backward by the past but to look upwards with Hope
  • And keep moving in step with Heaven's call.
It is far more than just a teaching or a source of comfort; it is a profound call to anchor our faith in Him as deeply as we trust in Father God. The phrase "Do not let your hearts be troubled" stands as a powerful reminder that challenges, fears, and anxieties are inevitable in life. Yet, He lovingly encourages us to surrender all our burdens to Him, for He cares for each of us with tender compassion. He graciously invites us to place unwavering trust in Him and in God, relying fully on His boundless love and flawless guidance.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble (Ps 46). Because we believe, trust in Him, HE will keep us in perfect Peace the steadfast of mind (Is 26:3-4).Let the Lord firmly plant this truth in our hearts, uprooting every lie that rises against it and replacing it with His Word, Logos, and Rhema. Faith is the substance of the things hope for, evidence of the things not seen; Let Jesus ignite our Faith, may we walk boldly, even when the path is unseen or uncertain. Trusting in the Lord with all our heart, understanding and leaning not in our own strength (Pr 3:5-6).

This call is as gentle as a mother's voice, reassuring with the words "Do not let your hearts be troubled." It carries a regal authority in the next breath: "You believe in God; believe also in Me." This is the horizon of expectation—hope, a joyful anticipation of good from God.

May the God of Hope fill us with joy, peace, and an everlasting connection. Let His Spirit lift our eyes and let hope rise like the dawn, full of light and promise by His Grace. In Jesus’ Name, we will not look inward with fear or backward with regret. Instead, we’ll look outward in faith, upward in hope, and move forward in trust. May our hearts remain anchored in Christ. Let our hearts not be troubled; we believe in God and in Jesus. In Your Name, we pray, Amen!

  • Belief says I think it's true; 
  • Faith says I am sure it's true;
  • Trust says I will rely on it;
  • Hope says I am excited for what's coming.
 

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
