Faith

“ “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.  “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

                                                                                          - Mark 11:22-24

This is one of the most important verses in the Bible, something that changed my life and helped me through the immense problems that I faced in life. Faith is an integral part of Christianity. It is only through belief anything is possible. Every word that Jesus has said is a promise to us and it will definitely happen. When you read through the Bible there will be many instances in which you’ll notice that people were never healed in particular pattern but different people were healed differently. The reason is because of their level of faith. A women was healed just by just touching Jesus’s cloak. The Centurion believed that it was enough for Jesus to just say the word and that his servant will be healed and it happened exactly that way, Jesus said, “Go! It will be done just as you believed it would.” (Matthew 8:13). When we face a problem, we must have faith in God, we must believe and pray and it will be done exactly accordingly.

When you’ve unshakable faith in God, you will not fear anything, you’ll have the courage to face anything, you’ll have the confidence to do anything because God is with you always. Pray to God to increase your faith.

Praise the Lord.

How I came to know Jesus & Why this Blog

I’m an Indian who grew up in Saudi Arabia, a purely Muslim country which does not allow the construction of churches or any other places of worship other than mosques. Even Bibles and Christian Books are not allowed into the country. I still remember when I was 4 years old and came to India for vacation, seeing the cross with Jesus, I asked my cousin, “ Who is this man and why is he hanging over there?”. In spite of all this, I got my first Bible from a Muslim man when I was 11 years old. I got the King James Version which I still have with me. At that time, the man told me that this Bible will change the way I look at this world. I never totally understood the impact of what he told me at that time. But now after 11 years, I understood what he meant. Though I got the Bible when I was 11, I started reading it sincerely only 2 years later. That was the start of the most amazing part of my life. God has blessed me immensely and has done wonders to my life. On 21st October 2007, I was anointed by the Holy Spirit in my College Chapel in Chennai, India. It has been three years not life is fantastic. Not only have I been transformed but through the Bible I’ve been transforming the lives of my friends, relatives and family.

In this blog I’ll be posting some of my revelations from the Bible, about how to get close to God, getting rid of temptations and following a righteous life . Feel free to ask questions and I’ll answer to the best of my ability.

God bless everyone.
