Week 29 (16/07/2007)     Having Faith

What is faith? faith is not only a noun but also a verb and therefore requires action. Belief & faith is action because if we're not working with and for the Lord, our faith is in trouble.
Faith is also doing something we're not comfortable with, taking gigantic steps that are out of our comfort zone, such as sharing our testimony with non-believers. Should we just sit there and ask for the Spirit to fill us? Remember: the Holy Spirit is a helper, enabler, and encourager. It is by taking gigantic steps by faith that we are then filled with the Spirit.

Faith is something we can't see but when we have faith, we have an eternal perspective instead of only a temporary one. When we have faith, we rely on God's provision and we give our lives to God instead of relying on our own ability...instead, we look to God to give us strength and we trust in Him with everything in our lives.

We can have faith in even the little events in our lives and not only the "major" events. Faith and believing is also a relationship with God because as we walk with Him, our faith grows and we begin to trust Him more and more and not have that doubt and uncertainity from lack of faith.

My friends have faith today, find fresh faith today to put into action.
