Your Faith Says You Are Pleasing God!!
Hebrews 11:6 "But 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."
Plain and simple, if you believe that God can deliver you, without any evidence, this is faith, and you are pleasing God. Therefore, expectation is the key to receiving from God when you pray. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, "Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them."
No matter what you are going through today, believe that you serve a God that is able. There is nothing that is too difficult or impossible for him to accomplish. Whatever you are going through right now, He is above it all.
Many of us tend to think that with pure faith there is no room for doubts. What I can say to you is that where faith is doubt will always be there too. It is just that faith is able to see beyond doubt and focus on God. That is the kind of faith you should have, the one that can see past all your circumstances and see God.
By our very nature we want to cling to things that we can see, touch, and feel. We want to hold the solidness and substance of things in our hands, feel the firm ground under our feet. We want things to be concrete; even our idioms reflect our desire for solidity in our lives.
John 20:29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Surely, God will do His part when we pray, but we must also do our part. Our part is simply to believe. So many people are busy asking God, but never really believing what they are praying for will come to pass. You can tell by the way they talk, or act.
To please God, we have to believe without seeing. If all you are seeing is negative, keep believing that God can deliver you. Don't be moved by your circumstance. If you are experiencing trouble in your marriage, it is easy to get discouraged especially if you are walking by sight, (what you are seeing or what you are hearing).
Today I want to encourage you to look to the Lord, walk by faith and not by sight. No matter the negative, we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
Romans 4:17 "God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did."
Try your best to walk by faith in your situation. Our God is faithful and even if things are going contrary, or opposite the way you want, God is able to heal and restore. Remember, God's ways are not our ways. God is able to use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
We all lack faith sometimes. I know that many continue to face difficult times in their homes. Be encouraged and take whatever faith remains within you and hold it up to your Father in prayer. Then, turn your worries over to Him and know that God is in control, that He loves you, and that whatever the circumstance you are facing, God is with you.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Today, I want you all to know that I pray and intercede on your behalf daily. I want to do more for each of you and if there is anything else I can do, please contact me.
Thanks in advance for your support and partnership.
Be encouraged
