The Pain of Believing | Bishop T.D. Jakes

In a time where man-made systems control nations, Bishop T.D. Jakes reminds us of how power can be dangerous and disruptive to a believer. In John 20:25-28, we see what some call “Doubting Thomas” interact with the resurrected Jesus. But was he doubting or was he disappointed?  

Thomas was known as a courageous follower who witnessed the death of Jesus, but rumors of His missing body shook Thomas’ faith. Grief. Misunderstandings. Loss of trust. These were all his pains of believing. 

In eight days, Thomas went from “I will not believe” to “My Lord and my God.” Like Thomas, Jesus can use your pains to resurrect your faith and renew your mind by simply taking away what’s not needed.  

God has not forgotten you. He knows exactly where you are and what condition you are in. So, whether you’re doubting or courageous, don’t let your faith die in oppression. Your belief in Christ will pay off.
