THE STRENGTH OF FAITH IN OUR LORD!

” ‘ LORD’ HE SAID, ‘ I WANT TO SEE!’ AND JESUS SAID, ‘ ALL RIGHT RECEIVE YOUR SIGHT! YOUR FAITH HAS HEALED YOU.’ ” LUKE 18:42

How many of us today truly believe in the miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ? Some believe that the miracles of our Lord were only for those who walked this earth when Jesus did. They believe that there are no miracles performed in today’s world. Others believe that the miracles of God are only for special people and not for them. Throughout the Word of our God, he tells us that our faith determines our answered prayers. It is so clear that if we don’t have a solid foundation of faith then we will not be able to receive what God has for us in this life. We must have faith and we must have the courage to act upon that faith. We must have faith to believe that Jesus died on that cross for us. That confession of faith gets us to heaven. However, our Lord has so much more for us. He doesn’t want us living lives where we are constantly sad or in fear of the outcomes in our lives. He doesn’t want us to be poor and needy, living our life with nothing to show for it. How can we serve him in those instances? He wants us to be happy and live with joy. He wants us to be able to give to others both financially and spiritually. Jesus did not walk around telling people to be sad and to believe that someday they would have riches in heaven. Yes, we will have the riches of heaven someday. But he walked around healing those who believed in him. He wanted them to live a life that helped them to win others to Christ. Our Lord has not changed. The times have changed. However, the Lord’s goals are the same. Our faith must be strong. We must surround ourselves with other believers and be encouraged as we encourage others. In Christ Jesus we can do all things. However, we must do our part! We must plug into our Lord daily, build our faith, believe we receive and act upon that belief! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
