FAITH IN GOD is a Divine risk. Faith is a bold, courageous, godly act of choosing the LORD's way, even when all circumstances turn against you. That's what true, Christ-like faith is. FAITH means to TRUST GOD wholeheartedly, even when there is every sensible reason not to. Sadly, we live in a society today where nobody wants to take a risk for anything. Everybody wants to know what is at the end of the tunnel before they get there. Most people want to get all the facts before they make a decision. But if a certain decision has enough logical reasons to make it appear in our best interest, then it ceases from requiring faith. By definition, FAITH only has ONE decision: TO DO IT BECAUSE GOD SAYS SO. FAITH is the tendency to obey GOD with complete trust in Him simply because He said so, even if we don't understand why. My friends, if you spend time trying to figure out why you should make every decision, calculating the risk/benefit ratios and consequences, then you will never learn to walk by FAITH. FAITH IN GOD is SENSELESS; meaning, your SPIRIT must transcend your senses. THE HOLY SPIRIT must be in control of your soul in order for you to have the FAITH to move mountains. Anytime your senses control your decisions, faith has disappeared, because GOD IS A SPIRIT, INVISIBLE AND SUPREME. GOD is not physical.
GOD told Abraham to rise up and get away from his family to a place GOD would show him. Do you know how senseless than can be? Can you imagine what Abraham had to tell his family? -- Abram: Uuh, honey, we must pack up and move now. -- Sarah: Where to? -- Abram: I don't know, but we must leave now, I heard a voice tell me that. I n today's society, Abraham would be hospitalized in a psychiatric institution. But that's how Faith works. When you FOLLOW JESUS, you walk by FAITH. And those around you will often marvel at what you do. Many of your friends will be confused, some surprised, others intrigued, and the rest scared away. If those around you are not marveled by your Fellowship with CHRIST, then you know you're still ascending to Faith. Because unbelievers without the Spirit cannot accept nor understand the things of GOD. The most faithful believers in the Bible were the most amazing, crazy-looking, distinguished people on earth. And that's why Faith leads to Sanctification; set apart fm the world for DIVINE Purpose. Brethren, if you want to grow in Faith, you must learn to focus on THE LORD at all cost. This is done via constant prayer, Bible meditation and strong intimacy with CHRIST. Faith comes from the HOLY WORDS OF GOD, so make a habit of feeding your soul with it everyday (1Corinthians 2:14; Romans 10:17) GOD BLESS Ulysse |
