God Thinking LVII - The In-between times 15

"ABUNDANT LIFE

F - Faith is the key.  Jesus looks over the waters and simply says, “Peace be still” (Mark 4:39), and the seas is calmed.  He can speak to your situation too.  Jesus continued talking to the disciples as they were crossing the Sea of Galilee, now in perfect calm; “Why are ye so fearful?  How is it that ye have no faith?” Mark 4:40

This isn’t the first miracle that they have seen.  Over and over again, they witnessed God’s supernatural intervention in their lives and the lives of others, but their faith had not grown.

According to your faith.  “According to your faith be it unto you.”  Matthew 9:29

Please don’t forget the words of Jesus that can take you from anywhere you are and transform you:

From sick to well

From lost to found

From mean to kind

From spiteful to generous

From empty to full

From faithless to faithful

From powerless to powerful

From disheartened to encouraged

From stressed out to calm

From worried to assured

From doubt to conviction

According to your faith. 

All things are possible for you if you will build your faith.

There’s just no way I can tell you how important it is that you practice your faith. You do realize that to practice faith you have to believe for the impossible.  For if you do not believe for the impossible, you have not believed for anything that any man could do.         

Isn’t it the same with us?  Haven’t you seen enough proof that you can start putting your trust and your faith in God.  Faith is to be exercised.  The Bible says that, “...without faith it is impossible to please God...”  Hebrews 11:6

Why go through life mixed up and powerless, when faith can move mountains, convert men, subdue kingdoms.  Your problems are subject to your faith.  Why would you want to try and handle them any other way."
