Belief is the distinguishing characteristic of the sons and daughters of God. They will just flat out believe God and His word. Period. They will rip off the shroud of doubt that lays like a suffocating blanket of death over their own hearts, and they will shout, “No! He’s alive! In me! He is risen in me!” Because that’s what He says. That’s what He wants us to believe.
And then they will look around and see that that same shroud of doubt is smothering their brothers and sisters. And they will realize that through His truth, God is now using them to peel back the doubt and cast it away. They will simply believe God and His promises.
When Christ says, “The Father is in Me,” they will believe it. And in so doing, the promise of His infilling Spirit shall be kept. “He that believes upon Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (this He spake of the Spirit)” (John 7:38).
The princes and princesses of God will believe that their King divested Himself of all heavenly grandeur and actually walked around here in an earthly body just like theirs. He died, was buried, and rose again for our justification, sanctification, and glorification. And by faith–just believing having not yet seen–they will be beneficiaries of His promise.
And this promise is that the Holy Spirit, the invisible God, will come down and “abide” in them (John 14:15-17). “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (14:23).
And by believing His words, the works that He did we shall do also–and greater works shall we do as His sons and daughters! Why? Because He said so. How? By His indwelling Spirit. And that’s all we need. He that believeth on on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do…(John 14:12).
That’s our destiny. To just get out of the way and let Him do His work through us–just let Him channel His light and love down and through us to the rest of His creation. This is our destiny–if we believe. Kenneth Wayne Hancock [I invite you to visit my blog Immortality Road found here: https://immortalityroad.wordpress.com ]

Amen! And as we stand aside we will experience God as we could never see – with mountains removed, red- tape becoming hurdles rather than hindrances , with awesome hops, steps and jumps to be where He wants us to be. Lord we believe.
