The Evidence of Faith

In Hebrews 11, the Bible says now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The definition of evidence is "The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid". The definition states that it is the available body of facts meaning, you may not know everything or see the whole picture only part. We must grasp the realization that faith needs to happen before you can see the whole picture. For we lean not on our own understanding but in all our ways acknowledge Him for He will direct our paths Proverbs 3:5-6 . Sometimes you may not know why and in those times you must step back and say God you take control. I heard someone say today to stop focusing on what you see and begin to focus on what is eternal and you cannot see. Today I choose to focus and follow the Will of God with Faith even though I cannot see the whole picture I am thankful to know someone who can.

"Faith"

Ministered By Kirk Franklin

Are You Allowing The Sediments Of Life To Become Blockages To Where God Wants You To Be?

Are the sediments of your life now becoming blockages in your life?    A sediment is defined as a solid fragment of a rock or material that goes through weathering and is carried by wind, water or ice.   Doesn't that sound like life?    How it gets altered by the process of weathering or should I say exposure to the atmosphere.     But what we try to do is ... instead of letting those things wash away from our lives ... we try to pick everything back up and reattach it to our lives not realizing that it no longer fits.   It is no longer appropriate and we have to begin to understand that God has washed it away for a reason.

Life is a process of weathering.   We are exposed daily to people, places, and things.   There are things that God is adding to our lives and there are things that He is taking away.    Every level of life has different needs.    As you grow ... there are things you outgrow ... inclusive of  attitudes and actions.    Understand the process of life.    I said earlier that in weathering things are carried by wind, water, and ice.    Understand that the breadth of God (wind) will blow upon your life and the anointing of God (water) will flow through your life and cause things to be moved out of your life.    When this happens ... you have to realize that God is shaping you and forming you into the vessel HE wants you to be.

Are You Walking Randomly?

Are your steps in order with God's plan or are you walking randomly?   The word random means something that occurs without a purpose or a plan.    Are you walking without purpose?   If so that should not be.   God has given us each a common purpose to fulfill in the earth.   That purpose is to fulfill His plan in the earth.    However, we must stop walking randomly.   Stop trying this and that with hopes of getting to where He wants us to be.    His steps are clear.   Our steps are ordered in Him.   Psalm 37:23 talks about the steps of the righteous being ordered by God.   In other words ... they are ordained and established by Him.   

Understand the key words ....     The Bible does not say that everyone's steps are ordered by God.   It says the steps of the righteous.   To be righteous means you are in right standing with God.    It means your actions are right and justifiable.    You are not willfully walking in sin.  God does not order our steps to walk into sin.    So if you are willfully walking in sin ... your steps are random steps you are taking and not the steps that God has ordained.    When something is ordained ... it is ordered and decreed.    Anything that God orders and decrees ... ALWAYS leads to Him

"Order My Steps In Your Word"

Ministered By GMWA Women Of Worship

Do You Really Believe God?

Do you really believe God?  Do you believe His word?  Do you believe He has a plan for you?  You say you do....but are you truly trusting Him?  His word....His will....His wisdom.....  If you really believe Him, you will move from the place of worry to a place of rest.  From a place of fear to a place of hope.  If you really trust Him.  

Trusting goes beyond just words.  It means you understand that no matter how the situation looks or feels ...God is still in control.  It means you know that your help and your hope are in Him.  It means you stop trying to figure it out and truly walk in the knowledge of knowing God has already worked it out.

Will you trust Him today?

Letting Go of The Hurt

Hurt is defined as causing physical pain or to injure, or to cause mental or emotional suffering or distress. The enemy seeks to hurt us. He wants to injure us because he knows if he cuts deep enough he may get a reaction. More than that if we walk around with open wounds from being hurt we risk that wound being infected. It is time to learn to forgive and let go of hurt. I know this is easier said than done but if we truly seek to be like our Father we must follow his example of forgiveness. He forgave those who betrayed him, even when those closest to him hurt him. He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities and by his stripes we are healed. We are healed from hurt, from infected wounds that have held us back. Experience freedom today as you finally let go of your hurt turn it over to the Lord.  ^"Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully." 1 Peter 5:7 I am ready to forgive and let go, I am ready to show the love of Christ and I encourage you to do the same. Experience freedom and let it go today.

"A Heart That Forgives"

Ministered By Kevin Levar

Are You Allowing God To Be Your Covering .... Or Are You Busy Trying To Cover Up Yourself?

What is it that you are looking for God to do?    Have you told Him.   Yes He knows .... because He knows all things.   But that doesn't stop Him from wanting you to commune with Him.   Think about it ... even in the Bible He called for Adam.   Yes, He knew where Adam was .... but He wanted Adam to acknowledge Him and His presence.    

Are you acknowledging His presence in your life?   Are you communing with Him?   Or are you being like Adam and trying to hide "certain" things from Him?   Whether it be attitudes or actions .... remember God sees it all.   You can't run from Him or hide from Him.   God wants to be your covering.    Where you can come before Him without shame.   Where you are not trying to cover yourself .... your attitudes or your actions up.    But you have to let Him.   You have to stay under the covering of the blood.    

So back to my original question .... what is it that you are looking for God to do?   The word looking means something is lost.    Understand that if you dwell in the presence of God  ... you won't be looking.   You will just know that God will do it.   You won't be moved based on timeframe.   You will know from being in constant communion with Him .... that He is FAITHFUL.

"Faithful Is Our God"

Ministered By Hezekiah Walker

In The Will of God

When we make up our mind to follow the will of God, we guarantee safety. It is when we step out of the will of God that struggle comes. I encourage you to observe where you are... are you in the will of God or your own will. Faith is stepping in His will and out of your own. We cannot try to hold ourselves back from the will of God in fear of hurt. We have to be open to change, even when it may not be what we want.

The safest place in the whole world is in the will of God. We have to trust Him and believe His word. Psalms 9:10 says "And they who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek (inquire of and for) You [on the authority of God’s Word and the right of their necessity]."

Remember you are a King's kid so that means He has royal plans for you. You are an heir, and heir means one who inherits or is entitled to inherit.   Step in the will of God so that your steps can be ordered by Him, when you do this you will become worry free.
