Hi friends! So I have noticed, this particular word sets me into a "frenzy", so to speak. I'll be full of faith, but then I'll think "But what if" (insert negative thought here). Have any of you dealt with this? What has worked for you?

There are many opportunities presented to us throughout our lives. Jesus said “have faith in God”. I think that it’s good to check in with God about the opportunties we see in front of us. Even if, by our own understanding, all the opportunities look equally good. Here is an analogy. When we go grocery shopping we take a certain level of care selecting our produce. We’ll pick up an apple or bell pepper and flip it around to look for obvious faults. We do this because we want the best produce we can get for our money. In other words, we want the good fruit (and vegetables). If God were shopping with us, and actually he is if you think about it, we would never get a bad apple. But choosing produce is not as important as choosing a job, career, business opportunity or even a church for that matter. This is not to say that some of the possibilities are going to lead to ruin if we get them wrong. We know that God is all knowing, full of love and a giver of good gifts. So if we include God in our decisions won’t he point us to the one that is best? There is of course more to this because hearing from God requires a level of faith. I won’t address that problem here beyond admitting that I sometimes struggle with this.

F A I T H ........ A key in Christian life Many times i have failed to maintain the right faith before God We need faith before God, faith before people.. Some times faith may not work.. in this world But before God it works So i am writing little stuff here on ''FAITH'' topic Thank you Jesus.... to learn on faith .................................................................................................. F A I T H (part 1) A key matter before people and God.. Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. FAITH is a great property in some saints lives in old testament They lived with faith... They never failed in faith matters FAITH is very key in our lives before Lord 1. It is substance of things hoped for 2. Evidence of things not seen. STEP 1 1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. Here John saying.. because we keep His commandments, and do thonse things are pleasing in His sight.. STEP 2 Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Here Jesus saying, you need to believe me.. this is like commandment... STEP 3 Keep faith because God is good in all .... all time.. He is love ... TO KEEP FAITH... MAIN OBJECTS ARE..... 1. GOD ............ Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. He is author to make faith in our hearts.. 2. CHRIST.............. John 6: 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. He died to keep us holy,, this can tell us to keep our faith holy.. He is died for us, buried for us and rose for us 3. GOSPEL............. Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. If gospel is not given to us.. we may perish Jesus ... died 2000 years back.. These generations not seen the fact and what God did for them So if Gospel is not reached to us.. we may perish.. 4. PROMISES OF GOD............... Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. OH wonderful blessing to read this verse.. God is not liar. Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ........ yes they are great mentors to us.. they kept strong faith in God.. Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Mat 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Wonderful call is this.. He is promising us to feed and give better life Thank you Jesus... Dear brethren ... we need to keep our faith in all times ,...Many times we are failing to keep our faith clean and strong.. . God bless you all (second part to this topic will write soon)

Lay down your burdens, hurt, and all. Jesus makes it so easy. This song by Crowder called Come As You Are will uplift your spirits! Remember that Jesus accepts sinners and he welcomes the broken with open arms. Come as you are and don’t be ashamed. Our father is forgiving and compassionate.

This testimony is so inspiring and hopeful. No matter how far we fall into spiritual destitution – God can pick us up, breathe new life into us.
