This word Faith, such an important word, something I must have in my life, because the Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith it is impossible to please God. What is faith? According to Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Faith is believing and trusting in God, His promises, His Word-we must live it! We cannot be saved except by faith! How do I get more faith? Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing the word of God.
In the book of Matthew 9:27-30 there were 2 blind men following Jesus around, crying out for mercy and healing, Jesus asked them if they believed He was able to do this-and they said "Yes", He touched there eyes and said "be it done to you according to your faith," And their eyes were opened. Wow! I love those stories. All throughout the gospels you can read about miracles Jesus did! People have always had needs. But Jesus didn't go door to door taking care of every ones needs. People came seeking Jesus, desperate, bringing their need with faith believing He could take care of it. And He always did!!!In some of the verses it says that He saw their faith-I want that kind of faith!! Some people think that those stories only belong in the Bible of old. But Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever!! So I'm sorry- but I just don't believe that! I believe He wants us using our faith today-for what?-for life! What mountains are you facing!! Go to God's word and start building faith in that area-if you need a miracle with your children, health, marriage, finances, whatever-He cares about our every detail!!(He has our hair numbered!) Luke 18:8 says when the Son of Man comes will He find faith on the earth! Yes! Lord! The plan of God for each of us, is so marvelous!!-that if we only believe-all things are possible!!(Mark 9;23) By faith, do what you were meant to do-be all that God has called you to be-dont let anything hold you back!
I love this verse:
Hebrews 12:1-2 Let us lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of faith
Hebrews 12:1-2 Let us lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of faith
Today I'm fixing my eyes on my Jesus! He is the perfecter of my faith!!
