“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the
prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he
appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is
the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he
upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for
sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as
much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than
theirs.”
Hebrews 1:1-4 ESV

“and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long
robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs on his head were white,
like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like
burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many
waters. In his right hand, he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-
edged sword and his face were like the sun shining in full strength.”

Having faith in Jesus is difficult. It’s because the concept of Jesus is mind-blowing. Imagine anything that literally inherits everything, and upholds the entire
Universe by His word alone and has radiance beyond measure. When John
witnessed a vision of our LORD, he saw a face filled with a light stronger than the
Sun and they didn’t have computer effects back then! Could this mean John
needs medications?
I thank the LORD for the Holy Spirit because, without that, I think I would have
trouble having Faith. It’s because what I’m to believe defies understanding to
the point of being fantasy. It’s like I’m reading a science fiction novel. How can a
Spirit has all that?
I suppose that’s why we have suffered. It forces many to try anything to
alleviate the pain and suffering. In a sense, they kneel before God because it’s all
that’s left. Desperate times require desperate actions. I know I needed to hit
rock bottom before I got down on my knees and took Christ seriously. What
really confirmed my faith was the way all my pain and suffering ceased.
Afterward, I knew something was now in me which I now know is the Holy
Spirit. It’s this that makes the unbelievable believable.
I like to share my experiences because I do understand how the facts about Jesus
can be mind-blowing. I tell others to give Jesus a chance to prove it is true
through prayer. You will feel cleansed, you have no guilt, you will think clearer,
you don’t worry about tomorrow, your worldview will change to a heavenly
view and you will feel the love that nothing can match. It’s through this that faith in
Christ will grow. As it grows, He slowly reveals more to you. You have nothing to
lose and everything to gain.
