\u201cBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.\u201d<\/p>\n
John 4:48<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0So Jesus said to him, \u201cUnless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.\u201d<\/p>\n John 2:18<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0So the Jews said to him, \u201cWhat sign do you show us for doing these things?\u201d<\/p>\n John 12:37<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,<\/p>\n John 15:24<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.<\/p>\n Numbers 14:11<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And the LORD said to Moses, \u201cHow long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?<\/p>\n Matthew 16:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.<\/p>\n Luke 16:31<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0He said to him, \u2018If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n 1 Corintians 1:22<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, \u00a0but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, \u00a0but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. \u00a0For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.<\/p>\n Unbelieving souls are everywhere. \u00a0The field is ripe and ready for harvest. \u00a0Yet there are some plantings that just did not take and grow. \u00a0The seeds were planted and watered but did not grow. \u00a0This metaphor was given multiple times to try to explain the stumbling block of those looking for signs or finding Christ through wisdom\/philosophy. \u00a0Unbelieving unbelievers. \u00a0And then there are those who\u00a0\u201cBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.<\/em>\u201d However there is more to being a believer than believing. \u00a0Imagine you have been given $10 million. \u00a0You place it securely in the bank. \u00a0You are a millionaire. \u00a0If someone asked you if you were a millionaire you would say yes but other than that no one would know other than the one who gave you the millions and where you deposited it. \u00a0You spend none of it and for all of those around you none would know you’re a millionaire. \u00a0Some make come by your house and see a bank statement if it was left out but other than that no one would know. \u00a0What good is this money? What benefit does it have? \u00a0It has little to no value to you and certainly does not meet the expectations of one who gave it to you. \u00a0I fear the christian walk of many are similar. \u00a0Our purpose this side of eternity is more than believing. \u00a0Learn to humbly server, honor, follow and obey our Heavenly Father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.\u201d John 4:48\u00a0\u00a0So Jesus said to him, \u201cUnless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.\u201d John 2:18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0So the Jews said to him, \u201cWhat sign do you show us for doing these things?\u201d John 12:37\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Though he had done so many signs before them, they … Continue reading “Signs and Wonders”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4989,333,81,899,4940,4543,4988,243,231,3073,180,1840,4993,4987,3518,4985,4986,4992,244,4990,4995,245,4991,3862,4994,637,150],"class_list":["post-23973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-prayers","tag-believe-in-me","tag-believed","tag-blessed","tag-convinced","tag-crucified","tag-despise-me","tag-faterh","tag-foolishness","tag-gentiles","tag-hated","tag-hear","tag-power-of-god","tag-preach-christ","tag-quilty-of-sin","tag-rise-from-the-dead","tag-seen","tag-show-us","tag-sign-from-heaven","tag-signs","tag-spite","tag-stronger-than-man","tag-stumbling-block","tag-test-him","tag-wisdom-of-god","tag-wiser-than-man","tag-wonders","tag-works"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23973"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23976,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23973\/revisions\/23976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
