Our prayers and requests must be offered in faith—that is, the kind of faith the Father and Jesus are looking for and will respond to.

Who has the greatest faith? Of course, God our Creator has perfect faith and this is seen so clearly when He spoke the worlds into existence. The Book of Hebrews 11: 3 says,
“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
Referring to Jesus we also read, “…He made the worlds;…who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power…” (Hebrews 1:2,3).
“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3).
We do not understand the creative power of the Word of God as recorded when He created all things into existence. Theologians describe God as omnipotent to refer to His all-powerfulness. Truly as the Bible declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1).
So, when we think of the unlimited powerfulness of our God it should leave us practically speechless to think that we can approach Him individually and make request of Him for the desires of our heart. Yet, this is exactly what Jesus tells us to do through prayer offered in His name. But the key is, our prayers and requests must be offered in faith—that is, the kind of faith the Father and Jesus are looking for and will respond to.
There are many scriptures we could mention on how to approach God in faith, and here is an important one from the lips of Jesus,
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:24).
Here is a simple illustration assuming that the USPS operates normally: If I ask a friend to send me a book by mail and he or she promises to do so, I can know that I will receive it. While I am waiting for it I will know that it is on the way even though I cannot see it yet. This is like the kind of faith God is looking for.
At Creation Experience Museum we have asked God to supply the necessary financial support to enable us to proceed with the first museum building on the amazing 50 acres God is giving us in Branson, Missouri. We have a big God, and we believe this ministry is pleasing to Him because we do three things that are close to His heart.
Please join us in believing prayer for this ministry.

Something we see in our daily lives and don’t give much thought to is trees. These staples of our world have very interesting ways of pointing back to our Creator. Let’s examine how just two species of trees give evidence of design.

We love helping people put the truths of the authority and reliability of God‘s Word into their hearts. We also enjoy getting resources for these truths into their hands. And with the holiday season coming up, the bookstore can be a blessing both to the ministry and to your family and friends!
Everyone has a worldview, and every worldview has questions that it must answer. The truth will naturally produce the best and most sensible answers, and the Bible does just that.
