Walk by Faith

For we walk by Faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

FAITH= Full Assurance In The Heart...

Full Assurance that it is by grace that we are saved,

Full Assurance that our Lord and savior lives..

Full Assurance that there is one God, the GOD

Holy eternal Father one with the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ.

Full Assurance that all things are possible through HIM,

that we are filled with the Holy spirit!

We live by Faith, not by things that are seen..

we live with a child like faith! to realize we don't

have to know every little detail, things we may not understand

or can't explain we seek for an explanation from God.

Even when an explanation can not be given we

don't let the question and things we don't understand

weigh us down, for we know there is a reason for everything,

nothing happens that God doesn't know about.

We live by faith, and we trust and continue forward in

our walk with Christ in any and every situation.

Our love for Christ is not proven when everything is going

just right, but our Love for Christ is proven when everything

is going all wrong. You can scream and shout "I'm a Christian"

but what do you look to, what do you scream when everything

around you crumbles? because being a Christian isn't about

being perfect, it isn't about never going through pain or struggles,

It's just the realization of that when we are going through pain

and struggles there is a bigger picture, that when things come

our way to bring us down, we should look at it as an opportunity

to RISE UP! to PROVE OUR FAITH! to put our trust in GOD, and in

God alone!

What about when we don't hear his voice? what about when

we are struggling and we pray and pray for direction but yet

no direction ever seems to come. WE CONTINUE TO

WALK BY FAITH! Do you have to hear from God before you move?

read his word, and you will know how you are suppose to live,

don't wait on him to tell you how to. Don't get it twisted,

God inspires us and at times we hear that still small voice

(God through the holy spirit) giving us direction, but when he is

silent do we give up? do we become so consumed with trying to

hear from God that we all together stop living? we stop seeking

to be that strong example we are suppose to be? the point I'm

trying to get at is this...

Do we have to be inspired by God to move?

do we have to see or hear something from God

to reach out? Or do we just live and continue

to walk BY FAITH

Again don't get it twisted, I'm not saying forget about

hearing from God. I'm not even saying don't seek

to hear from him, what I'm saying is live according

to the word....live for him always and have faith

larger then a mustard seed. Continue moving

forward and being that strong witness when

everything is going wrong and when you are not

hearing from God.

}-{ For a time we are conscious of God's attentions,

then, when God begins to use us in His enterprises,

we take on a pathetic look and talk of the trials and

the difficulties, and all the time God is trying to make us

do our duty as obscure people. None of us would be

obscure spiritually if we could help it. Can we do

our duty when God has shut up heaven? Some of us

always want to be illuminated saints with golden haloes

and the flush of inspiration, and to have the saints of God

dealing with us all the time. A gilt-edged saint is no good,

he is abnormal, unfit for daily life, and altogether unlike God.

We are here as men and women, not as half-fledged angels,

to do the work of the world, and to do it with and infinitely

greater power to stand the turmoil because we have been

born from above.

If we try to reintroduce the rare moments of inspiration,

it is a sign that it is not God we want. We are making a

fetish of the moments when God did come and speak,

and insisting that He must do it again; whereas what God

wants us to do is to "Walk by Faith." How many of us have

laid ourselves by, as it were, and said-"I cannot do any more

until God appears to me." He never will, and without any

inspiration, without any sudden touch of God, we will

have to get up. Then comes the surprise- " Why, he was

there all the time, and I never knew it!"

Never live for the rare moments, they are surprises. God

will give us touches of inspiration when He sees

we are not in danger of being led away by them.

We must never make our moments of inspiration

our standard; our standard is our duty. }-{
