Faith



Faith comes to us by believing what we can not see; almost like “HOPE,” having hope for something we are not sure of. You see, we are having faith when we're hoping for whatever it may be; (maybe a wish) and believing its going to come true? Is that not Faith? Knowing comes without fear, also. (2 Corinthians 5:7) NIV “We live by faith, not by sight”And it is not something that just comes into ones life by the snapping of his or her fingers, neither. Faith comes by the hearing/reading of God’s word, and trusting in Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:17) NIV “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” Therefore, He is not tangible at this time. Which makes it hard to believe in Him (Jesus Christ), I mean we do live among a physical world. Faith is taught to us through our churches and in everyday life events. Faith is a choice, rather we wish to believe or not. Again, that is where Faith comes into practice. (Believing).

You see, Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of our Father, (GOD). (Mark 16:19) NIV “After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.” Therefore, nothing goes before God, unless our request goes through Jesus Christ first. Trusting Jesus Christ to take our request(Prayers) before God, is faith. Did you know that? Knowing God will answer us! That is faith. The answer always be, yes, no, or wait. Remember God's timing is different from our timing. Our ten years, is like one day to God. Thank God for the New Testament and Jesus Christ dying on that cross, not only for my life, but for the life of others too. Faith is a blessing; and having the peace of knowing, that God is true and awesome. It’s nice not always being consumed with, wondering and so many, what if? We are not to be consumed with the (what if's). That is not what God wants from us, He wants us to worship him; love him/others, and walk by faith. Our personal relationship.

Again, when we believe, doors will open (Matthew 7:7) “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be open to you". Faith is beautiful when we allow ourselves to believe। I know it is hard to believe in something we can not see; because we do live in a nation of disbelief. If it’s not tangible, why believe? I had rather believe in God our Father, Then die and rot in hell! Because, there is a hell!

From my heart to yours
