    About this ebook

    For a long time in the body of believers, the Church, there has dwelt a persistent misunderstanding of Jesus words, "Only believe"

    People know that Jesus said this, so when faced with trouble in their lives they tend to say something like "Keep your eyes on Jesus", "I Just believe God", "I believe Jesus will help me", or "God is in control no need to worry"

    Whilst these phrases are good, there is something more contained in what Jesus told us when He said "Only believe".

      Whilst these phrases are good, there is something more contained in what Jesus told us when He said  Only believe.

      WE can see that 'something more' If we look at the word believe In Jesus statement in the Greek concordance. There we find that a root meaning is
