“Trust and Believe”

When speaking to a friend today they told me they had a premonition about me last night. I was in Heaven on a white horse and I had wings, I was holding a sign that read “Trust and Believe”.


My heart was cheerful as I listened, but saddened at the same time. I knew that this sign was for them, for I have watched them change over the past six months as they have went thru some hard times. I too sometimes have trouble trusting that God hears me, because I pester Him, always apologizing for my shortcomings and asking for healing. I do Believe and Trust Him for my healing, physically and mentally. Do you?


"They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white." (Rev. 3:4)


Biblically, faith is trust, confidence in, or assurance. Assurance in God: Understanding what Faith / Trust is. Heb. 11:6 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.


No one can force trust. It develops over time. Hebrews 11:1 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I have written this to let my friend and others know that without Trust in God, you will never be able to believe. We have to go out on a limb and look at what Jesus did for us. Jesus had all the trust that His Father would not leave Him behind; His suffering would not go unnoticed. Jesus believed and trusted His Father to bring Him home to set on the right side of the throne with His Heavenly Father.


Faith (Trust) is a gift from God, not because we deserve it, have earned it, or are worthy to have it. It is not from us; it is from God. It is not obtained by our power or our free will. It is simply given to us by God, along with His grace and mercy, according to His holy plan and purpose, and because of that, He gets all the glory. We need faith to please God. God tells us that it pleases Him that we believe in Him even though we cannot see Him. Faith can fail us at times, but because it is the gift of God, He provides times of trial and testing in order to prove that our faith is real and to sharpen and strengthen it. This is why James tells us to consider it “pure joy” because the testing of our faith produces perseverance and matures us, providing the evidence that our faith is real James 1:2-4. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.


My dear friends I ask that you go before the Lord and ask Him how you too can grow in your Trust and Belief in Him. As I said, it doesn’t happen overnight, however you will have insight to know the difference in things in your life. Jesus loves each and everyone of us, He wants the best. He doesn’t want us to suffer and be doubtful, but He will allow us to go thru many challenges in our life, but be assured He will never leave you alone, you have to “TRUST AND BELIEVE”.



“Trust and Believe”

The angel smiles as she carries her sign that reads “Trust and Believe”
You have nothing to fear
He is mightier than the enemy who hates you
He says our road ahead will be filled with many obstacles” but not to worry as we have the shield of Him about us.

Listen to my voice, as I cry out to you dear Lord
God can you hear me?
I am falling Lord
I do believe in you
I Trust that you are listening
You are my best friend
I trust that you shall take this pain
I feel like I cannot face another day
I believe you when you say you shall heal me
God can you hear me?

I stand in faith when I feel like giving up
I believe that you have made the way
I believe in you Lord
I trust in you Lord
You are my best friend
Are you listening to my voice, as I cry out to you dear Lord
God can you hear me?

The angel gets back on the white horse and rides off with her sign.
However; before she rides away, she says
“Continue on and know that Jesus is coming
He is with you until the end.”
Yes, my child I can hear you…
