No this post is not going to refer to R. Kelly or his trial….

yet i want to share an idea with you. We often look outside and if you live here in GA or any other area recently hit by straightline winds or tornadoes then you like all of us believe in the wind. But why?

You can see it? You cannot smell it, unless of course you live near a waste dump or refinery or a bbq restaurant, but it is invisible to the naked eye, yet we KNOW and are fully persuaded that it exists.

BECAUSE WE CAN SEE IT BLOWING THE TOPS OF TALL TREES, WE CAN FEEL IT ON OUR FACE OR THE BACK OF OUR NECKS, BECAUSE WE CAN FLY KITES IN IT OR EVEN SIMPLY BECAUSE WE WATCH THE LEAVES FALL FROM A TREE AND DESCEND TO THE GROUND LANDING IN UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY YARDS FEET AND MAYBE MILES FROM WHERE IT FIRST FELL. WE BELIEVE!

Would we believe in the wind if none of these things existed. If there was no physical evidence or no sensory evidence that wind whether light or ferocious existed, would we BELIEVE?

Jesus? He lives! He is the Beginning and the End. The Author of our Faith. Our Healer. Redeemer. Lord of Lord and King of Kings. The Way. The Truth. The Light. Life, and Life more abundantly. He IS!

But pastor lloyd, I cannot see him. I cannot pick up my iphone and call him. I cannot go to His house and visit Him. So how do I know He is real. Or that He lives and was not some historical philosopher figure head who died as all men do and thats that?

The same trees who tops blow in the same wind you cannot see, He created them both. The kids who miraculously begins to walk after suffering most of his childhood feeble, broken, and his legs in braces, Jesus did that. The man who was a drunk, an abuser and a low life who woke up one morning and left all those things behind him and has created a new life, Jesus is responsible for that. Life change happens everyday around us. There is peace is a mothers heart as her kids leave to go to school every morning because she KNOWS that her kids are safe, Jesus is responsible for that.

We have the Word of God filled with evidence, physical and sensory, that attest to His existence then. We have CHANGED LIVES , men who never wanted to step foot in a church, but now you cannot keep them out, families reconciled healed and growing together, husbands and wives who love each other more today then ever before and kids who have left drugs and drinking behind them leaving to go do missionary work; that my friend is your evidence that He lives TODAY!

The funny thing is that the saying… “seeing is believing” does not apply here at all.

I challenge you to change your perspective! Change your outlook. The next time you see tall trees dancing in a summer breeze or kids flying kites know that the wind would exist whether you could see these things or not!

JUST AS JESUS LIVES AND IS ON THE THRONE, whether you can see him or not!!!!

Change, renew your mind and understand that…

“BELIEVING IS SEEING!!!!”

CAN YOU FLY?
