“GIVE ME PROOFS”
This popular song — Let It Show, by Kaestrings, talks about proofs, evidence, and signs. It’s not for self-glory or bragging rights. It’s a prayer for impact. A prayer to cast doubts out of the hearts of the people you’ve been sent to.
Even Jesus in John 4:48 KJV, admitted this: “Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”
In this kingdom, believing is seeing. But if Jesus had been all talk and no miracles, after a while, those who believed would probably have left.
It took the miracle of having a great catch, which almost broke his net, for Peter to be convinced about Jesus.
Signs, wonders, and proofs always accompany believing. They go hand in hand.
Mark 16:17–19 KJV tells us all about this. “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
Because they believed, they saw. Because we believe, we see.
But when belief is in place, and there’s nothing to see, weariness sets in.
That’s why this is a prayer we should all pray. It’s Scriptural. In fact, if there’s no proof that you’ve been called by God, sent by Him, then something is wrong. Because the Word says, signs will accompany those who believe.
Maybe it’s spiritual warfare, maybe it’s God’s timing, but you must have proofs and evidence.

In the song, Kaestrings also used the word receipts.
This is what sets you apart from every other person. It’s the distinct finger of God in your life. And people are meant to see it. People should be able to tell.
You might be doing the same thing with fifty other persons, but the proof that you met with God, the evidence that you’re different from the crowd, is in the signs and wonders you command.
In Exodus 7:8–12, Aaron’s rod turned into a snake. But the magicians and sorcerers could do the exact same thing. The proof that Aaron was sent by God was that his rod (turned into a snake) swallowed the rods of the others. In other words, “I’m bigger than you guys. We’re not on the same level.”
Again, this is not bragging, because obviously, we can’t compare the Almighty God to mere gods and worthless things. He’s got to stand out. He will always outshine everything.
In the same vein, God is way too big for your life and works not to show forth His Glory, praise, and nature. You’ve gotta have evidence. It’s what sets you apart from the rest.
The good news is, the Holy Ghost living on the inside of you is the no.1 evidence that you’re called, saved, and sent.
But we’ve still gotta pray: “Let it show, Lord.”
When it shows, lives will be transformed, you will be encouraged, and most importantly, God will be glorified.
Like this trending meme says: “When I finally win the lottery, there will be signs.”
You’ve met with God; you’re called by God, so there must be signs.
You might wanna tune in and pray with that song.
Stay blessed. XOXO.
