"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."~Hebrew11:6
I absolutely love the above scripture! When we understand that to please God, we must first have faith we begin to understand the power of faith! When we understand that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him, we unlock the door so God has continual access to our lives. Faith is a beautiful thing. One of the definitions that I found that I loved for faith was: A belief that is NOT based on proof or evidence! Wow, that is an amazing definition. That lets us know that in order to say that we have faith in God we must not just go off of proof or evidence. We have to go off of what we know to be true! Faith is a personal thing! We have to have a faith that can be tested. The tests, trials,and storms will come. So make sure you have been studying(the word that is) and make sure you are prayed up.
Many times we have heard the phrase, just step out on faith. Well my friend, have you ever had to be the one to take that leap? I am here to tell you that it is much easier said than done. I am also here to tell you that it can be done! We have to guard what we entertain. We have to be very careful at who and what we allow to define our truth. If God tells you to go 10 steps to the right take a left and then jump as high as you can, you can not allow an outside person to tell you that 5 steps to the left will get you to the same place! Faith is a personal thing. Faith does not depend on your neighbor, your friend, your husband, or your wife! Faith depends on your relationship with God. It is hard to take that leap of faith when you are not sure of your safety net! Oh, but when you know the one who holds you up and keeps you from falling you can confidently take that leap!
When you know the truth, you will NOT believe a lie! It will not matter who tells you the lie you will not believe it. You will not be capable of believing the lie because you will know the truth. When you know that God is real, that Jesus died for our sins, and rose again on the third day, and when you know that the Holy Spirit is a keeper and a comforter no one will be able to tell you that there is not a God. It will not matter who told you the lie you will not believe it! The truth removes ALL doubt! You know what Faith is to me...Complete belief in God! Faith to me is the truth! It enables me to walk by faith and not by site. It allows me to speak those things that be not as though they are! It allows me to run the race set before me and not get weary,because I know who is leading and guiding me. Without faith it is impossible to please God!
The next time doubt tries to creep its ugly head up cast it down immediately! Don't allow any seeds of doubt to planted in your spirit today! As soon as they come cast them down and meditate on the truth! Think on those things that are lovely and think on those things that are pure. In those quite moments when it is just you and God rejoice for your faith is your weapon! Your faith can not be taken from you! Your faith can not be watered down. Your faith will be elevated in the mighty name of Jesus! You will speak to mountains and they shall be removed! Remember today my friend, WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD!
