Be careful for nothing ...

"But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but Holy Ghost," Mk. 13:11.

but in every thing by prayer ...

Pray in Holy Ghost by laying your hands on word of God, comparing scripture with scripture; rightly dividing words of truth ... because they are spiritually discerned (I Co. 2:14).

and supplication ...

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find

knock, and it shall be opened unto you," Mt. 7:7.

with thanksgiving ...

Strait is gate ... "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving ..." Ps. 100:4.

let your requests be made known unto God.

"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," Mt. 6:10.

And peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;

if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:

and God of peace shall be with you."

Ph. 4:8-9

God keeps His Word in that He will never walk over heart of man to accomplish His purpose. No apostle, no prophet, no Savior, no calling has any power with man; except they first be received by faith (II Co. 1:24).

If you want to see works of Jesus, power of Jesus, and truth of Jesus in their lives one, first, has to believe they are a messenger of Lord (Mt. 23:39); and faith without works is dead.

For every action contained in scriptures, there is a reaction. First, 'trust' God (believe Him), 'try' Him (take step of faith), and then God will 'prove' He is who He says He is.

Might we also require proof of Jesus, causing Him great sorrow, and risk forfeiture of our blessings (Mk. 8:11)? Or, could we accept proof already provided in scriptures and reap its reward?

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."

John 13:20
