If you want to please God,
You need faith. If you want God to answer your prayers, receive a miracle,
healing, protection from enemies or even a blessing, God does reward
those who seek him! - - Have Faith!
Hebrews 11:6
-
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who
seek Him.
What is Faith?
Hebrews 11:1 -
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
All things are possible,
healing, being healed, miracles, protection from your enemies, saving your
marriage. "All things". Possible for who? - "YOU" Yes you. But first, you
have to believe, and unless God has appeared to you in the flesh, your going
to need something called "faith".
There is an old story
about the guy with the long pole, getting ready to walk on a barrel across a
tight rope, Fifty stories high from one building to another. He turns to one
of the spectators and asks, do you believe I can do this? The spectator
replied: "Yes, I do!" The man then said "Good! Get in the barrel!" That's
Faith!
Here, I hope to point you
in the right direction and show you, How to get a miracle, How to be healed,
How to save your marriage, overcome your enemies, increase your faith and
finally, show you where the barrel is and how to get in.
So lets get serious, put
on your old sweat suit with the holes in it, crack about 5 or 6 raw eggs in
a glass and chug them down, then put on the "Rocky" theme music. It's time
to re-train your mind!
How do I get Faith? How do I have
faith in someone I can't even see or touch?
Romans 10:17 -
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Read about him! Have you
ever had a pen Pal in Russia or China or some other great distance away?
After corresponding for a period of time, you really get to know that person
just by reading their letters. You know what they like, what they don't
like, what you have in common etc..
Even though you cannot see
or touch this person, you may really like them if not love them! It's
possible you could even feel heartbroken when you receive the news that one
of their children or parents passed away.
Marriages have happened
through this kind of correspondence, not to mention the internet! It is very
much the same way with with getting to know Jesus Christ. Read his spoken
word!
If you want to read what
Jesus said directly, in his own words, Look in the first 4 books of the new
Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. In allot of Bibles you will find the
words spoken by Jesus in
"Red
Letters", just like on this website. In the rest of the New Testament
you will find Jesus quoted often.
Think about this. How much
better would you know this pen pal, if you could walk into any Christian
church every Sunday and have a person on the podium tell about them and
explain them. Seeing and touching isn't everything.
If you really want to know
how to get a miracle, Faith is one of the key ingredients.
Don't feel like you have enough
Faith?
God has already given you
faith! Start using it!
Romans 12:3
-
For through the grace given to me I say
to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to
think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as
God has
allotted to each a measure of
faith.
Basically, when "you"
were born, you were given the same amount of muscles as Arnold
Schwarzenegger when "he" was born. (yes, even you ladies) Depending
upon how often you exercised those muscles and your diet, would depend on
how muscular you would become.
Faith is exactly like that!
Once again,
Romans 10:17 -
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Read the word of Christ. If
you have a KJV (King James Version) Bible and can't understand it through
all the "thou arts" and thee's and thou's, Don't feel like the Lone Ranger!
Scholars feel at home reading the KJV, Not us ordinary simple folks!
Get a bible you can
read. Pick up a NIV (New International version) or a "Good News Bible".
(recommended) The quotes on this page are from the NASB (New American
Standard Bible) Ask most Churches for a Bible in plain English and they will
probably give you one for free. THEN READ IT!
If you don't already attend
a faith based, spirit filled church, find one and attend once or twice a
week. Hearing the word of God is called "being fed", and I'm sure
even Arnold Schwarzenegger would tell you, your diet is important!
God Bless You
