FAITH!

In the Bible, Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Faith is having belief in those things you haven't seen already!

We struggle in our faith because we can't see what lies ahead!

This contradicts the point of faith! Are you getting this? If faith is the substance of things hoped for and we haven't seen those things yet, because if we have then we more than likely won't have hope for it because we already have it; then when we worry we contradict the point of faith. The Bible also says for us to not worry. So then why do we worry, why doesn't faith come easy? Why is it so hard to believe the best will come to us and that even if the worst comes God will still provide what we need to no longer hurt from that bad!?

I love my testimony. God has brought me out of the hurts of divorce, physical, emotional abuse, seen me through days of nothing (no money, no food, no life), He has brought me through a weary land of going through the motions to filled with purpose and life. Through all the struggles, the hurts and pain, the fear and worry, the times I didn't think I was going to make it and the times I thought I was going to die, He saw me through! And like my grandma used to say, "This too shall pass," indeed it did. When I did come through and it did pass, I look stronger, feel better, am more alive than I ever was then! I have so much vigor and love just waiting for the timing of the Lord to do what he purposed me to do! Talk about a testimony!

Now, I have faith that seems extraordinary...above ordinary because it is radical it seems wreckless and careless to some, but I am not afraid to stand on the word. With a bold word, demands bold faith. God said, "TRY ME IN THIS!" TRY Him then in your finances, in your thoughts and deeds, in your coming and going! Try him to be the God that is the only God! The King of kings, The beginning and the end!

I don't know where your faith is, but your faith won't infect my faith with negativity. It won't pollute my vision to see, my ability to hear or my passion that drives me forward!

Stand on faith in the days that seem endless and the bills stack up. Stand on faith when you loose your marriage or your job. Stand on faith when the unexpected events come, because guess who they aren't unexpected to? So, when we stand in faith, we say, "Yes! I believe and trust in you God! You know my coming and going, my very being down to the hairs on my head! I trust you with my life because if doesn't belong to me anyway! I TRUST YOU!"

May your faith be increased.
