Proving

 

When someone comes to you and tells you something that seems unbelievable most peoples reaction is PROVE IT!  Wanting to be successful in this life takes work. You must prove your dedication through your actions.  If you are in this walk, you have told The Father that you long to be a part of His kingdom and inherit eternal life.   He is not going to allow just anyone into His kingdom. He will allow various trials to come into your life to prove you to see just how serious you are.Many times these tests will come through people and situations that begin looking honest and simple but possess a moment where you will have to decide what will your response be. will you choose life or death??  Holiness or sin?   Eternal life or Damnation?  Good or evil?
