John 14:1–14 (CSB)

THE WAY TO THE FATHER

14 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. ²In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? ³If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also. ⁴You know the way to where I am going.”^,

⁵“Lord,” Thomas said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?”

⁶Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷If you know me, you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

JESUS REVEALS THE FATHER

⁸“Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that’s enough for us.”

⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been among you all this time and you do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who lives in me does his works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.

PRAYING IN JESUS’S NAME

¹²“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.^,

To become a Proof Producer, you must learn to face the negative forces of unbelief. You must have something to carry you through when someone tries to pour cold water all over your experience!

You will never be able to meet these challenges with logic. You cannot meet them with intellect. The devil does not listen to logical arguments, nor does he respond to theological discourses.

Jesus Himself set the example for us in how to solve this problem effectively. How much better off every one of us would be if we always followed this example with diligence. When Jesus confronted unbelief in Jairus’ home He put all the scoffers completely out of the way:

…But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. (Mark 5:40)

When the negative forces of unbelief come — the professional mourners who say miracles are not for today, voices which speak contrary to what God has told us in His Word and in our spirits — never give way to them, not for one minute! Turn your back on them. Look at the bigness of God, not the doubts or scoffing of others.

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar… (Romans 3:3-4)

When the negative forces of unbelief come against you, you must remain true to your task, acting upon the authority of your heavenly instructions rather than the negativism of man. You must stay true to heaven’s task no matter who or what method the enemy uses against you. You must turn your back on the negative forces of unbelief and continue your work for God.

Look at your hands…in them lies the destiny of your family, your nation, even of this entire world. You have the power to produce the proof that will shatter the negative forces of unbelief and raise the dead spiritually, mentally, and physically through the delegated authority of God which rests upon you.

It’s time to put the professional mourners out of your life and get to work.

Make this declaration:

I have the power to produce the proof that will shatter the negative forces of unbelief and raise the dead spiritually, mentally, and physically through the delegated authority of God which rests upon me.
