Sunday, July 7, 2013 "Faith"

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Phil 4:8


Let go and let God.  Sounds so easy doesn't it? Many find it to be the most difficult thing because they need immediate results, instant gratification, they cannot wait.  But seasons of waiting are a big part of our walk with Christ.  For in those seasons, He is strengthening us and deepening our faith. Our faith in God is what pleases Him and it is what moves Him. How can we ever truly know the power of our living God without being tested?  If we do not see His work in our lives than how will we ever believe He can do all things?  We have to go through the fire in order to die to thy self and become a new creation in Him. "Sanctification" matures us spiritually. As we grow, we realize that faith is an action word. We must live by faith and move by faith. Habakkuk 2:4 “See, the enemy is puffed up;  his desires are not upright but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness." We cannot be passive in our faith. Matthew 17:20 tells us so....He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
