Driven By Faith To Move

Image
Make A Move!   We must be driven in our faith to move even when we cannot see what God is doing. For the bible says in  Hebrew 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It takes driven faith to make a move toward something that we have not yet seen.   The bible says that Noah and Abraham both moved when God asked them to do something that was outside of their comfort zone. It might have even seem little crazy to everyone around them. Yet, they still heard the voice of God and obeyed. These men of faith were driven by their faith to follow God's instructions.  It was not just enough for them to have faith but they did something (works) along with their faith.    By their faith and their actions work together, it showed God that they faithful, committed, and trusted him. In order word, their obedience to move proved their faith in God was genuine. "So y...

According To Your Faith

Image
    Matthew 9:27 -31 "And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country." The blind men followed Jesus, cried out to Jesus, and asked him to have mercy on them. They had enough faith to believe if they could just get to Jesus. They would be healed from their blindness. We too must follow Jesus and believe that he is healer. Often time, we seek healing from other sources and not Jesus. It is only through Jesus Christ can one be truly healed. As the blind men followed Jesus into the house, ...

God First Loved Us

Image
God loves the whole world and that includes YOU!  1 John 4: 9-10 NKJV In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.   In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. These scriptures are so powerful to the soul. Just to know that God loved us so much that He gave up His son for our sins. We often look for love in all the wrong places. We look for love in material things, in so - called friends, and even in money. But none of these things have eternal value nor can we find everlasting love in the things of the world.  It is only in Jesus Christ can one find real love. The love of God was manifested unto us by Him sending Jesus Christ.  And life (eternal) was manifested unto us through Jesus Christ. The  bible declares that God first loved us and not us who...

Call On The Name of Jesus

Image
   Acts 2:21 " It shall come to pass, that whosoever call on the name of Lord shall be saved.  Jesus Christ came for the whole world that all might have eternal life in Him. But you first must call on His name to be saved.What shall you do to be saved?  Repent, be baptized, and change your life and live for Jesus.  The bible says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God loved us so much that He sent Jesus so that we would not die in our sins but have eternal life in His son Jesus. Are you saved? Do you really know Jesus? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? If you are not saved and if you do not know Jesus, the time is now, to call upon the name of Jesus because He...

Praise the Lord

Image
PraiseThe Name of Jesus!   Today, my spirit is praising my God for His deliverance POWER! He has done so much for me. He has set me free. He has delivered me out of the hands of my enemies for there were many. He has saved my soul. He has been my source and my provider.   When I needed a friend, He was there for me. When I needed a shoulder to cry on He was there for me. When I was lonely, He was my company keeper. When I need a protector, He was my man of war. He has never left me nor forsaken me.   When it seems like I wasn't going to make it, I heard His voice say unto me that I am your God and I am with you. I will fight for you.    For all of these reasons, I got a reason to Praise the Lord.  We all have a reason to the Praise the name of Jesus for all that He has already done for us. He laid down His life for us that we mi...

Open Your Eyes To See God

Image
 As I walked the nature trail, last Saturday, my eyes where open by God to see Him all around me. God had opened my eyes that I might see Him in little things. God is the creator of all things, yet we do not see Him. How many times have we said where is God or I can’t see Him. He is really there but we are just too blind to see Him in just the little things. It is little things that we seem to overlook because we are so caught up with our busy life styles that we forget to open our eyes to see God in little things. If we would only open our eyes we can see Him in the cool of the breeze of the wind. If we open our eyes we can see Him in the many colors of butterflies that fly all around us. If we open our eyes we can see Him in everyday things in our life. If we open our eyes we can see Him in the morning dew and in the clear blue sky. It is a beautiful thing to see God in His entire splendor. He is so AMAZING!
