Have Faith In Your FATHER

Sometimes  all of your resources and attempts at fixing things are useless. When this happens in my life I tend to believe that God is saying to me "You need to have faith in your FATHER.  You are not going to make a dent in this problem area with out strong, unshakeable Faith in ME."  Well, those are truth filled words if I ever heard any. Some things that occur can only be solved by Faith.  So what is Faith?  Well the Holy Word says that Faith is the substance of things hoped for without seeing any evidence(Hebrews 11:1). So as I amass this Blessed Hope in God,my Faith will come and grow. How do I get Faith? The Living Word says that Faith comes by Hearing, and hearing God's Word. Without hearing God's Word it sounds like Faith won't and can't come. I shall see to it that I always hear God's Word. Otherwise. As I research Faith in the Love Book, I found a bunch of Good News about Faith and I discovered why we will need to have Faith in our FATHER. Permit me to share some of this Good News I have learned. It has already begun to work for me in the difficult areas in my life. I have stated what Faith is and how we get it. Let me share some of what it has done for us. Because of our Faith, we have: 1. Peace with God, 2.Access into His Grace, enabling us to rejoice in The Glorious Hope (Romans5:1-2), 3.Been made right with God(Galatians 3:24-26). All this by Faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible says that through ONE man's Faith (Abraham), God counted him righteous and he became known as the father of Faith and through him all nations shall be blessed.(Romans4:3),(Galatians3:6-9).Abraham's Faith in God was Awesome (for lack...) because he gave us a view of what unshakeable Faith looks like as he obeyed God concerning Isaac, just as one example. He was ONE of many who used their unshakeable Faith to receive what God had for them. The Bible says it is impossible to please God without Faith(Hebrews11:6),so these Faith - filled believers knew something. Those healed in their bodies because of their Faith: the woman with the issue of blood risked being stoned to death to get to Jesus to receive her healing(Mark5:25-34). She pressed through the crowd to get to Him. If the crowd was a Faith -filled crowd, every sin, sickness, and disease would have been eradicated in one shot with the Healer and the Deliverer walking right amongst them. The Roman Centurian is my favorite Faith- filled person in the Scriptures. Here is someone who has such Faith that he simply ask Jesus to speak the Word and his servant will be healed. Glory to God!!! Just put the Word in the air Jesus and it will heal him.(that is my interpretation). I want that Kind of Faith. I am going to use my Faith right here and say: In the Name that is above everything with a name Be HEALED  and made Whole in Jesus Name!! Glory to God!!! If you reader need a healing, that Word is for you so receive what The Father says is yours in His Name. Moving along,I could continue with the paralyzed man and his 4 friends (Mark2:1-5),Jairus the leader of the synagog (Mark5:21-43),Blind Bartimaeous(Mark10:46-52), Naaman's servant girl who had Faith for Naaman's healing(he didn't,she interceded for him) (2Kings 5:1-14),the demon posessed boy (Mark9:17-24).All these people were Faith -filled people although in those times they may not have known what to call it.They believed Jesus was the Son of God and that He had the Power to Heal them,deliver them and set them free. The Bible says that every man has been dealt a measure of Faith and if we have Faith the size of a mustard seed we can speak to the mountain and it would have to move. That statement alone takes Faith, but I have it, do you? Since we have been made right with God and are justified the Bible says the just shall live by his Faith(Romans1:17). I could go on and on  but I will only say that we can have Faith for success in life(Philippians4:13), Faith to have our needs met(Philippians4:19),Faith in the Scriptures(Proverbs2:6),(Psalm119:105). My strength alone is not enough and it will take mountain - moving, unshakeable Faith. Faith comes from hearing God's Word so that is how I will continually get Faith(Romans10:17).I will live to please God by using my Faith in everything I am believing Him to do in my life. My supply is coming through Faith that God will meet the need . I am healed because of Faith in the Name that has such Power that everything else with a name has to bow it's knee to it. Glory to God!!!(Philippians 2:9-11).So I will close as I have titled this posting, Have FAITH in your FATHER.  Blessed is the Name of our God in all the earth!!   Psalm 134. I love you!!
