Faith
Faith: 1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another’s ability. 2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact. 3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims. 4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty. 5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1. We can always have faith when things are going well in our lives. We can always thank God when we see something happen that we have be waiting for in our lives. Can we have faith when things go wrong or not the way we planned? God has a way of testing our faith just to see if we truly are walking and living by faith. I believe being tested is a way of strengthening us to do better and believe in ourselves. Tests are made to rebuild our temples better while we strive to be like God. Not to tear eachother down or point the finger. Remember you can be up today and down tomorrow! Have faith in God, yourself and your fellow man.
We all need a push every once and awhile. But don’t give up. God brought us too far to leave us now. One quote I like that Pastor Shirley Cesar said on a talk show was “God loves you too much to leave you in this situation”. That stuck with me and helped me as well. We have to speak great things through faith in our lives. Speak prophetically as Pastor J said. In doing so you will see great thing happen to you, your family and people around you. God wants all of us to do great things. God has us all here for a purpose! There is room for everyone to reap a great harvet. We have to have faith no matter how things look or feel. Healing starts in the mind! Sow good seeds and watch God move in your life.
Faith, Faith, Faith. If you believe it and God said it, It shall come to pass!!!!! Not on your time but his time!
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
