Day4
Mark15:31-32
“Even the ruling priests and the religious scholars joined in the mockery and kept laughing among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but he can’t even save himself! Israel’s king, is he? Let the ‘Messiah,’ the ‘king of Israel,’ pull out the nails and come down from the cross right now. We’ll believe it when we see it!” Even the two criminals who were crucified with Jesus began to taunt him, hurling insults on him.”
Mark 15:31-32 TPT

Seeing is believing!
The Scribes and Pharisees, even the criminals on the cross beside Jesus wanted to see in order to believe.
It does not take faith to see. If you can see it you have the physical evidence in front of you.
Faith is the substance of things not seen. Faith is the evidence.
Hebrews 11:1-6.
The belief comes first and the physical manifestation follows. God spoke first and the light appeared after He spoke. All of creation operates that way. God used His faith and spoke. The physical evidence appeared second. We have been given the God kind of faith. Mark 11:22(margin of King James says the faith of God).
The more we exercise our faith by hearing the Word and speaking it, the stronger it becomes.
The Pharisees and the like did not believe even after the evidence was presented. When we wait on physical evidence to show up such as, how we feel for a healing or the money in the bank for a financial miracle, we are allowing doubt to control our outcome. You may never see anything that way. Mark 11:22…does not doubt in his heart..
Build up your faith through exercise. Remember that faith comes by hearing. What you are hearing may very well determine what you are seeing!
