About Faith

In my quest continuously to bring about encouragement and insight I have invited other believers to contribute to this Blog. Here's a revelation from my dear friend Carmy. It's about faith!

"Early in the week I was speaking to God or rather he was speaking to me. He gave me these words... UNSHAKEABLE FAITH, and then LET YOUR ROOTS GROW DEEP. which Craig confirmed when he mentioned that he had a message on it. I searched earnestly for a word on faith, how we gain it,how we become consumed by it, what it means to have faith and the effect it has on our lives. We all know that faith without work is dead. Many times we repeat this scripture but do not acknowledge the strength which lies therein or the effect it has. Paul wrote in Hebrews chapter 11, describing what I believe to be an unshakable Faith, one that reflects a heart and spirit willing to sacrifice and live solely to believe in God. When Chantelle mentioned that unshakable faith is what we all strive for, it reminded me of Matthew that states even faith as tiny as a mustard seed can move mountains. Its extremely easy to lose faith; but imagine the reward you receive for holding onto your faith. I believe that the strength of your faith ties you to what you believe in God for which in turn ties you to God. Dont lose heart in any given situation. Deuteronomy 4:29 states that if we seek the Lord we will find him, if we seek him with all our hearts and souls. Remember that without faith it is impossible to please God. Our faith assures Us that the God we serve is omnipresent and constantly eager to hear us. Smith Wigglesworth said that we are not nearly as eager to ask God than He is to answer us. Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. ASK IN FAITH, WAVER NOT AND WATCH HOW MIGHTILY GOD MOVES" - Carmy Matthews
