WHAT EXACTLY IS FAITH?

WE SET OUR HEART ON THE WORD OF GOD ABOUT FAITH.   SO WHAT IS FAITH?

HEBREWS 11 :1

NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.


WE HEAR PEOPLE SAY I HAVE FAITH FOR THIS OR THAT. SO WHAT IS FAITH?

THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS, FAITH IS SIMPLY TRUSTING GOD. 

NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE FAITH FOR, IT IS TRUSTING GOD TO FULFILL HIS WORD, YET IT WILL BE IN HIS TIMING AS HE BRINGS BETTER THINGS INTO YOUR LIFE.

BELOVED, IT IS NOT OUR FAITH, IT IS THE FAITH OF GOD THAT HE PLACED IN US.

PROVERBS 3:5-6

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT UNTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.


ROMANS 12:3

FOR I SAY, THROUGH THE GRACE GIVEN TO ME, TO EVERYONE WHO IS AMONG YOU, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY THAN HE OUGHT TO THINK, BUT TO THINK SOBERLY, AS GOD HAS DEALT TO EACH ONE A MEASURE OF FAITH.


IT DOESN'T SAY, HOW BIG THAT MEASURE IS, BUT WE KNOW THAT MEASURE CAN AND DOES GROW, AS WE GROW IN THE LORD.


PEOPLE TRY TO CREATE FAITH WITH POSITIVE THINKING, BUT BELOVED, IT IS NOT YOUR FAITH THAT COUNTS, IT IS THE FAITH OF GOD.

GOD HIMSELF GAVE US A MEASURE OF FAITH, AND THAT FAITH WILL GROW AS WE GROW IN THE LOVE OF JESUS, AND LEARN MORE AND MORE OF HIS WORD.

HEBREWS 11:6

BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER TO THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK.


WE SEE THAT IN ORDER TO HAVE FAITH, WE MUST BELIEVE GOD IS REAL, AND THAT IF WE SEEK HIM, WE WILL BE REWARDED BY HIM, 

BECAUSE IF WE SEEK HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART, HE KNOWS THAT WE DO HAVE FAITH IN HIM, AND HE WILL REWARD US FOR TRUSTING IN HIM.

OUR FAITH GROWS AS WE APPLY OURSELVES TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S WORD.

ROMANS 10:17

SO FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.

NOTICE THAT FAITH IS ACTIVE.  FAITH COMES.


THE SIMPLEST WAY TO EXPLAIN FAITH,  IS SIMPLY TO TRUST GOD.

TO TRUST IS TO HAVE A FIRM BELIEF IN THE HONESTY AND RELIABILITY  OF GOD.

BELOVED, TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS, AND LOVE HIM, AS HE DOES LOVES YOU.

HE IS RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY, HE WILL NEVER FAIL YOU.

SO COMMIT YOURSELF TO PUT FULL TRUST IN GOD AND YOU WILL HAVE GREAT JOY. 

AS YOU LEARN TO LET GO OF WHAT YOU CALL YOUR FAITH, (SOMETIMES IT IS TOSSED TO AND FRO WITH A LITTLE FAITH MIXED WITH DOUBT.)

GOD'S FAITH IN YOU IS SOLID AND CAN BE TRUSTED.

BELOVED, GOD KNOWS WE ARE BUT HUMAN, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS THAT HE HAS PLACED A SUPER NATURAL SPIRIT IN US.

SO THE SOONER YOU DIE TO YOURSELF, THE SOONER YOU WILL WALK IN THE FAITH OF GOD.


GOD BLESS YOUR DAY

JESUS LOVES YOU


LOVE IN JESUS

JOY

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
