From the Pastor
Faith will get you to and through the crossroads.
Many believers are seemingly stuck in many areas of life, prayer, relationships, finances, sickness and more. Faith in the Word of God and speaking what the Word says about the situation will cause breakthrough in the situations faced.
Believers need to press into the Kingdom and all it offers
EFFECTIVE CHRISTIANITY PRESSES IN
Luke 16:16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached and those that rush in with energy seize it for themselves.
- Rushing in with energy and seizing for oneself is the drive that’s made up of faith, courage and inward strength.
Faith will get you through those crossroads.
Heb. 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. AMP
Faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
Our senses will rob us of the promises of God, just like they will rob us of our diet when we walk into that donut shop. Been there?
Don’t Quit
Matt 17:19-20 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
Just a simple thought about faith here
The disciples asked a great question here, “Why did we fail?”
Failing to acknowledge failure breeds other failures
Jesus told them that they had faith but less than the size of a mustard faith – just a trace!
That statement would be enough to offend many and cause them to leave their church and go where they are appreciated. A heart divided is a heart defeated!
Good news, the disciples stuck with it in faith and became world changers. You too can change your world as you rise up in faith and trust God and His Word.
