CAN YOU PASS THE "FAITH" TEST? 2007-03-22 17:06:00 Can you pass the faith test?Well, I guess so you're thinking; I never really thought about it! Exactly what do you mean? Is this a trick question?Yes and No.Smile.Most people can pass the "Hope" test. That is we all know how to hope for something.However, most of us have trouble with waiting for what we can't see.Think about these common expressions that are cute but anti-faith statements if you are speaking about something you are believing God for.TWO GREAT ONES COME TO MIND:1. I'm from Missouri; you have to show me.2. I have no delayed gratification (Or in other words: I can't wait!)#1 is like saying; I don't believe in what I can't see. What do you think about that?#2 is like saying, it is impossible for me to trust anyone other than myself; so I'll make it happen now.So the test for us all is WILL WE BELIEVE GOD that because He says we have what we ask for if we believe, can we act like we have it! The world says we don't have it until we see it.God says we have it
Don't take YOUR faith for granted! 2007-03-22 16:22:00 Hi! Most of us don't realize that we have to work on our faith every single day; but we do. Before I knew this; when an emergency came up I just said a quick 20 second prayer to God and walked around quiet and worried all day. The fact that I was walking around worrying; wasn't faith. I thought it was. However, the bible says "If you believe that you receive WHEN you ask for it, then you shall have it." Most people either don't know it or believe it, because I meet people all day long every single day who are worried, obsessing about something or another. In fact, some of them are praying people who for whatever reason forget this. Old habits are hard to break for some; but I choose NOT to worry about anything that I ask God for that is in His Word; because He said: The desire of the righteous (right standing) shall be granted! So when you see me, you'll see a happy camper; never a sad sack! Not Ever! So I encourage you to not take your faith for granted but to read the
JUST IMAGINE... 2007-03-20 22:11:00 Believing What You Can't See.... (a story)Some people say that believing what you can't see is hard.That's part of what faith is. The other part is trusting God. But for some, they just can't get past the not seeing it part. Smile.So my goal is to try to make it easier for you to understand this in a practical sense.Imagine that there is a huge tree that falls across the road and you need to get past it. This tree has your street blocked off and you need to drive your car to work, to get food and water and you have important appointments. At this point, all you know to do is to pray and ask God to send help, send some angels and you just have to trust Him to do this. Right after your prayer you begin to know that things are going to be alright and you give thanks before anything happens! Now that's faith! You have an ax but you don't have any other equipment except for a small wheelbarrow. You call for help and they say they can come in a week. So at that point you

TODAY ! 2007-03-20 02:04:00 Today...Today is the day that you need God to do some things for you.How He is really going to do it; you haven't got a clue.It might be a money thing, the devil's squeezing you real tight,When it comes down to your faith, you can't give up the fight,I don't know what you know and if I did it would shape what I would say,But it is my prayer that I say to you as I send the angels out your way,It doesn't matter where you are as I intercede on your behalf,God can read your heart and hear your prayers, and He is certain to move for youas the dew is on the grass.With faith you have to believe that your little troubles will go away,Just like the sky is blue on a bright cheery summer day,Perhaps in your own mind the problem is very large and strong,Perhaps in your own mind you can't seem to understand how it all went so very wrong,God will make your problems go away and He'll do it one by one,Recall the words of Jesus when he said the world he had overcome,So today if you get this
FAITH SCRIPTURES 2007-03-20 01:09:00 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.—Matthew 21:21And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”—Mark 11:22-26For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.—1 John 5:4

It may be in your communications, your thoughts, your actions; but in some covert or overt way you will be tested in your faith. Plan to pass the test.

WHAT KIND OF FAITH DO YOU HAVE? 2007-03-16 20:51:00 Please do not take this question the wrong way. No one can look at you or me and know what kind of faith that we have. Only we know ourselves, smile. However, I have noticed that faith speaks, it may not be boisterous or loud, but faith speaks. It's important that we assess ourselves and our faith and it's important that we fill ourselves up with faith. I love Tropicana drink and when that bottle is empty, there's nothing else I can do but go to the store and buy another one. Every now and then someone in my house will have one hidden. Now with faith, I like to stay on full. Someone around me or that I encounter or even me is going to use it...it never fails.I always say in the morning: I'VE GOT MY FAITH SHIELD ON LORD, AND I WILL USE IT WHENEVER< FOR WHATEVER AND FOR WHOSOEVER NEEDS IT! B ut my question is: What kind of faith do you have...and what do you do with it?

SCRIPTURES ON FAITH 2007-03-16 03:56:00 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10: 17But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11: 6According to your faith, be it unto you...Matthew 9: 29..the just shall live by faith. Rom. 1:17God hath dealt to every man, the measure of faith. Rom 12: 3WAIVERING FAITHSee that you refuse not Him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spake on earth, much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven. Heb. 12: 25And Jesus said unto HIm, No man having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9: 62Let us hold fast to our profession of faith without waivering: for He is faithful that promised. Heb. 10: 23
ESTHER: WOMAN OF FAITH ! 2007-03-16 01:37:00 ESTHER I can imagine a land where the King has a feast, but I cannot imagine that He’d marry the least. Yet this is what happened to the beautiful Esther, raised by Mordeci, Because she honored the God Most High. You see, the story starts out with the beautiful Vasti who GAVE AWAY her throne, When the king sent for her to show her off; she replied: LEAVE ME ALONE! So the king was so mad, that he saw red in a blur and before he knew he’d said: I’ll fix her! So they wrote a new law and called it a decree…the next thing we all knew: THEY HAD BANNED VASTI! So here’s the king scouting out all of the virgins in town, they were pouring in from miles around… In the meantime, Mordeci, was spiritually led to get Esther into the mold, he had a Few friends but he wasn’t to bold, Mordeci told Esther to keep a secret of who she was in her faith, None was to know she was Jewish; that part could wait, One day on the job, it came to Mordeci’s own attention th
FAITH FOR HEALING FAMILY MATTERS, RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNICATIONS 2007-03-16 00:54:00 Healing: Family matters, relationships & communications…My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. (Message Bible)Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. KJVBlessings to you! It is my prayer that this letter finds you well. Just know that is what God wants for you; for you to be well. I am certain of it. I really am. I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that I’m thinking of you and praying for you I think one of the most important things to each of us is our family relationships. God’s family is important to Him and your family is important to Him as well. He says so in His Word. For many of us, it is our ground where we will be tested. Tested in terms of our love for others which is one of the two commandments that Jesus left in the New Testament. Love your nei

We stand on your word for you said: According to your faith be it unto you. Verily I say unto you that if you have faith and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree but also if you say unto this mountain be thou removed …it shall be done.

WISDOM 2007-03-15 23:05:00 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.KJV Proverbs 4: 7Blessings to you today my friend! You are special and it shows! God is Faithful and He loves you so much! Oh what a glorious year it has been. I’ve seen trials, tribulations and tests…but they were just temporary; because behind them all there was great victory. The world can’t celebrate a victory beforehand, but we can…so don’t forget! Sometimes the main thing that we need in our situations is wisdom! All you have to do is ask for it! The bible says so. Such a simple thing; yet some forget...If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. JAMES 1: 5This week I decided to ask for some wisdom in two matters that were putting unnecessary pressures on myself and my family. In each case; I was led to make some telephone calls at a very precise and unusual time. My words that I spoke determi
DO YOU BELIEVE GOD? 2007-03-15 22:44:00 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. Hebrews 11: 1Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Hebrews 11: 6By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. Hebrews 11: 8Dearest Friend, Blessings to you and yours. It is with great joy that I write to you today because I have been on quite a journey and I am relieved to have my feet settled and be in my right place, even though my journey continues. I am writing to you today to encourage you and to tell you to hold your chin up and to stand tall and be proud. Whatever you may be facing; you are not in it alone. I am praying for you. Prayer warriors are praying for you; but that’s not all. You see, behind the scenes, angels are moving and God the Father is arranging things so that you ma

ARE THERE REALLY 2 PARTS TO FAITH? 2007-03-24 16:26:00 ARE THERE REALLY
2 PARTS TO FAITH? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen! Hebrews 11: 1 (KJV)BEFORE YOU READ ON; I WANT YOU TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE QUESTION. THEN, AFTER YOU DO...ANSWER IT! NOW PLEASE, IF YOU WILL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:ON THE SURFACE, FAITH "LOOKS" LIKE IT HAS TWO PARTS TO IT; IN FACT MOST PEOPLE ESPECIALLY BELIEVERS GET "STUCK" ON THE FIRST PART. THE FIRST PART LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL BASED ON HOPE.THE SECOND PART OF FAITH LOOKS LIKE IT IS BASED UPON: THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN! IT'S NOT EVIDENCE. IT'S EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. NOW IF IT WAS EVIDENCE WE CAN CALL IN THE CSI TEAM AND HE BEST PRIVATE DETECTIVE. SOMEONE OF THE CALIBER OF THE LAW AND ORDER TEAM. BUT THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS. WE DON"T NEED THAT. GOD SAYS IF WE HAVE HOPE IN THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN; THEREBY MAKING IT ..ONLY ONE PART!THERE'S ONLY ONE PART TO FAITH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TWO BUT IT'S NOT.SO IF YOU WANT TO BE IN FAITH:
MY PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY! 2007-03-26 17:41:00 MY PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY!Dear Heavenly Father,we thank you! You are so good to us. Today is a new day. We thank You for things seen and unseen. For things heard and not heard. For things spoken and unspoken. For things understood and not understood. Father we thank You for things known and unknown. Our confidence is in You. It doesn't matter what it looks like; our trust is in You. It doesn't matter what it looks like. It doesn't matter who said what, who saw what, who understood what, who heard what or who says they know what. WE won't get caught up in that because we walk by faith and not by sight! In Jesus name...we pray, AMEN.
