The Power of Belief

In the book of Mark 9:23 it states that Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” The practice of belief has existed for ages. Since the beginning of time our Creator has encouraged us as his children to believe. If you study the bible you can find countless stories that speak upon the power of belief, and how it  people used it to overcome challenges, gain strength, and most importantly sustain their faith.

The process of believing, manifesting, and visualization have taken on different meanings in the new age. Today, there are tools like vision boards, affirmations, meditation, and countless other notions to bring forward the power of belief in our lives today. Yet, some detest these techniques as some sort of magical or mystical taboo.

The truth is that the practice of belief — and whatever tactic you choose to practice has everything to do with faith and the belief in a higher power other than yourself. Your own will or strength is not enough to bring forth the changes you want to see in your life. If we want to achieve or accomplish anything in this lifetime it starts with faith and the belief in our hearts that our Creator will provide for us.

It is impossible to have faith and not believe. Mark 11:24 states that “Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them!

Yet, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Our Creator isn’t a magician or a genie. You are required to take action and believe in your heart that you have these things even if you don’t see tangibly see them.

We’re living in an age today where we expect things to happen fast. We want all of our desires right here, right now. Living in this mindset can be a challenge when we don’t see the things we want manifesting in our lives. Yet, the question is are we not seeing things happen for us, or are we not doing our part to ask, receive, believe, and continue to show gratitude and appreciation with the things we are blessed with?

The power of belief exists inside of you. We were made in his image and his likeness. We’re co-creators of our world and our lives. We are creating our reality by what we believe about ourselves and our capabilities. Being blessed has more to do with knowing and demonstrating our faith to our creator than basking in the goodness of the tangible items we’ve received.
