Then I started to wonder, why do we wait for things? I'm not talking about material things like buying stuff we can't afford and going places we cant afford, no no why do we wait to exercise our faith and trust in God?
Shortly after another one of my followers tweeted that they've given up on things because they always turn out bad or something..
by no means am I talking about these people because I LOVE THEM... but these tweets got me thinking and inspired me,because Christians tend to do this
Matthew 14:31
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Why do we doubt? because of what people say? because of what it looks like to us? lack of confidence in our God?
I think sometimes we have to remind ourselves of who our God truly is.
Romans 10:17
So faith come from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
He created the heavens and the earth.. He took clay and made a man... took a rib from that man and made a women.. His son died and ROSE ... He rose people from the dead, he's healed people,fed people turned water into wine.. he's done ALL these amazing things.. how can you believe he's done these things... but have doubt in your situation? have lack of faith when it comes to your situation?
We have to understand we can not please God without having faith in him
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
well it's easier said than done Des.. my situation is so rough you don't understand.
Your right I may not understand, but my heavenly father does and I suggest you pour your heart out to him about EVERY situation your facing..
You have to get to the point where you don't care what it looks like, if God ALLOWED it to happen, you must know he's going to get you through. Things just don't happen to us without God's approval.. so yes God allowed that you to go through, you may have gotten hurt because you didn't listen to him but the key word is through meaning your not stuck. You go in and you go out.. you go THROUGH a door.. you go OUT a door... you went THROUGH a tough time meaning it ended.. God was with you through it.. We have to trust that wherever God has us to go he has us covered.. we may not see what or understand it but he has ALL power, he has EVERYTHING under control.. we must never forget that.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Faith is ALL we have in this walk with Christ. We believe he is who he says he is and we have to believe he can move the mountains in our lives....
Matthew 17:20
He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
You have to get to a point where you don't even desire anything, you just want everything God has for you, because you have the faith in knowing that he will NEVER forsake you...God can do no wrong.. we have to start trusting him and living by faith now...
Your belief is seen through your actions.. you can call yourself a Christian all day but if your not living by HIS WORD, how can you say that your a Christian. You can say you believe in Christ but not enough to trust believe and live for him... sounds harsh but that's the reality.. No lukewarmness ...ever!! You have to dedicate your WHOLE life, your whole being to Christ. If faith is an issue you have to TELL GOD!!! just simply say "God, I love you. I believe you are who you say you are, but I'm having trouble believing I can get through this situation, I don't see a way out I need your help, give me the peace of mind and the ability to trust and believe you God. Please forgive me for not trusting, help me trust you." something simply as that.. Prayer doesn't have to have big fancy words.. you just need to let God see your heart tell him everything he's going to comfort you and he will make it better for you if you stop pray and listen to what he says.
Mark 11:22
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
If you love someone tell them
I love you
