God Thinking LXV - Alive Faith 3

"Even when you are outside of the will of God, God is working on your behalf, turning what you messed up into a testimony that will declare beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God was carrying you when you were out of His will and walking along beside you when you are in His will.

God has taken all of your talents and skills, your characteristics and personalities, your temperament, to season you for service to God and man.

Every job you have had, every place you’ve been, every experience, every battle (won or lost), even when your back was turned, God was there, not condemning you or laughing at you, but there to take what was meant for your loss and turning it into your gain - All so that once you decide to live by faith your past will become your testimony of how God...........

All the while, when your back was turned on God, He was carrying you through.  When you were disobedient and foolish, God did not turn His back on you - no, instead of passing sentence on you and giving up on you - God showered you with His love - His patience and His mercy.

All to the glory of God.

All that God has done for you was to bring you to a place of submission to Him - a place where you would learn to trust God by faith.  The kind of faith that, even without a drop of proof - you believe as if it were already done. 

There are two kinds of faith that the scriptures talk about.  One is dead faith and the other is alive faith.  By learning about dead faith and alive faith, you will have a better knowledge of God, and a better understanding of what God has prepared you for - prepared for you.
