Have you ever noticed how many times the word ‘Be’ is used in scripture? Often. And I got to thinking about this and I’ve come to the following observations: ‘Be’ is always stated strongly. There can be no doubt when the word is used that this is something WE do… and not later, but Now. […]
Look at the (multiple) times Jesus responded to His own disciples about their faith…Luke 8:25 ” And He said to them, “Where is your faith [your confidence in Me]?” (That particular time was when they all were in the boat and a storm came up. Add to all this question: ” And will not [our
