Faith Abounds - Episode 1

"Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for.

It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

This testimony of faith is what previous generations where commended for.

Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God's words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen."

Worry Versus Faith

Philippians 4:4-9 (TPT)

Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.

 

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. 

 

So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all...

Overcoming doubt & unbelief 

Faith, Trust, Belief

John 8:45"I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me."

 

Jesus was speaking to the religious folk of the day who where challenging Him for the umpteenth time. He was calling them out on their unbelief.

 

There is a journey one takes towards unbelief - it is preceded by doubt which is preceded by expectation.

 

Expectation is seeing from our perspective.

a. "I expect the hotel room to look as nice as the picture."

b. "I expect to receive the promotion due to my recent performance,"

c. "I expect to be looked after because I am a victim of circumstance."

 

Expectation is preached from pulpits, in motivational books and seminars and has been paraded as the key to positive thinking. As I researched the various dictionary meanings for expectation I realized this imposter is trying to disguise itself as FAITH.

 

Expectation actually opens the door to doubt.

a. "Because the hotel room...

1 Corinthians 14: 15   Pray in the understanding as well as the spirit

Faith Abounds - Episode 12 

David's life is filled with stories of conquests. His heart after God is often one of the first things that come to mind.

There are many commendable attributes about David. however, like with all of us, he had faults and sins.

One of the most notorious incidents involved a beautiful woman Bathsheba.

Instead of being out with his men fighting and defending their land, David stayed home. One sleepless night he walked around on the roof of the palace. Somehow I don't think this happened perchance. II Samuel 11 and 12

It seems David knew what he would see if he walked around on his rooftop.

Bathsheba was the wife of one of his most loyal soldiers, Uriah the Hittite.

James 1:13-16

"When you are tempted don't ever say, 'God is tempting me,' for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and He is never the source of temptation.

Instead it is each person's own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness.

Faith & Opportunities Abound

2020 is rapidly approaching it's mid-year mark. The first four months + have been quite a roller-coaster ride. Ups and downs, then those flips upside down and that slow ascent to the tippy-top for the downhill warp speed that will whip around a corner and leave you breathless as the car comes to a screeching halt. 

Remember those fun rides? You got off and wanted to ride it again didn't you? 

However, when life feels topsy-turvy we long for days of familiarity. 

Now is the perfect time to decide not to fall back to old patterns, dare to dream, dare to do something new, dare to create a new season of growth and productivity. 

Here's where we, as believers, have the opportunity

to allow our faith to abound. 

Faith is not just a believing, and a wishing and a hoping...faith is belief acted upon. 

"Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long...

Faith & Maybe

Faith & Maybe?

Does that even count? Let's take a look at this powerful posture of strong faith. When we give up our need for certainty we gain true confidence independent of circumstances.

When we sense God speaking to us about something there's an area of, "Oh, Lord, I don't know." We feel the responsibility before we have the supply.

This is where "works" jumps in, in response to the initial faith spark. Anyone can have an idea but until you put works into motion you'll never know the supply.

Once the initial faith sparks we add dry grass and small sticks to ignite the faith into a flame. We begin blowing softly on the flame til it bursts into fire. We then continue adding fuel until it becomes a bonfire, a force to be reckoned with.

Reading Hebrews 11 and 12 and other passages of faith in action we discover that they didn't have all the answers before forging ahead. As James says, "Show me your faith by your works as faith without corresponding...
