FAITH

Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." What is this telling me? The faith that I have right now, at this very moment, is where my victory lies.

Most people read this scripture with a very distant understanding. I think this happens in part because of the "cloud of witnesses" that follow. But in order to be an overcomer, we must see the WORD as being "quick" and "powerful." The word "quick," can be equated to instantaneously, speedy, fast.

God says His word will not go out void; but that it will accomplish that purpose for which it is sent.

I received a very thought provoking email today that gives me vision, understanding and acceptance that I want to share with you.

"Happiness keeps you Sweet;"
"Trials keep you Strong;"
"Sorrows keep you Human;"
"Failures keep you Humble;"
"Success keeps you Glowing;"
"But only GOD keeps you Going!"

We must come to realize that we are not our own. We have been bought with a price. Jesus died on the cross at Calvary to purchase us back from the permanent death placed upon us all through sin. Happiness comes from "Happenings," but "Joy" comes from JESUS!

"This JOY that I have; the world didn't give it and the world can't take it away!!"

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22
If we pray according to the will of God for our lives and His glory through our lives, He will bring it to pass.

Hold on; don't let go of His hand nor your "Faith."
