We must be the living proof of the resurrection to those around us. To do this, we must set our minds on things above as the new raised man in us will give witness to the Lord.

Sometimes we come to Christ to be healed, but instead begin to rationalise how we must be healed. What processes are involved and how we should be treated. Instead we ought to come to Him with no agenda or preconceived notions in our mind. Only then shall we like the woman at the well, be saved and drink of the Living Water.

Faith and doubt go hand in hand. It is through doubt that if we are willing, God can reveal Himself more to us. The goal is to grow closer to Him through this unbelief, rather than to pull away from Him.

Tune in as Anthony confronts us with the question “Is this going to help me grow spiritually?” rather than viewing it as “Am I allowed to do this?”.
