Sometimes our faith fails. Maybe through a trial in our lives, or we think God does not hear our prayers. Jesus told His disciples several times, “O ye of little faith”.
The wonderful thing that He also said in the verse above is that all we need is faith as small as a mustard seed.
How can we increase our faith? “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
On SOS home page is a great Bible Study on Faith. It is lesson 10. That is a good lesson to help increase our faith.
How can we have faith in God when our world seems to be falling apart? Disappointment, illness, accidents and many things happen in our lives to make our faith waver.
Faith is knowing that God is in control. Trusting Him even when we cannot understand why things are going so wrong. God does not promise Christians a trouble free life, what He does promise is that He is with us every step of the way. He will and He does work things out for our good.
You may ask me how I know. Today, I can Praise the Lord for taking me through the death of 2 sons, a grandchild and 2 Godly husbands and other trials and heartaches. God has never left me or forsaken me but always brings what I need when I need it. He uses those things in my life to bring encouragement to others. That is what faith in God does for me and He will do the same for you if you have faith in Him. The evidence of things unseen. Carolyn Curtis
The Heroes of the faith did extraordinary things in faith and obedience to God and His leading.
We sometimes forget that they were ordinary people who loved, trusted and had faith in God.
The verse for today tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God, but can you imagine what we can do through faith.
If you are lacking in faith, ask God to show you what He can do. He loves you and will help you in your uncertainty.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Abel is the first hero listed in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11.
Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve and the first martyr in the Bible. He was a righteous person who offered a more acceptable sacrifice to God than his brother Cain and was killed by him out of jealousy.
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4
Another wonderful day at the Santuck Flea Market under the SOS Events Ministry tent.
God always humbles me at the way He moves in the lives of those that come back to hear scripture shared and the Holy Spirit draws them to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Saturday 12 people walked out of darkness into Glorious light and their lives are eternally changed.
One couple were 70 and 74 years old so we know God is always waiting on His children to come home. We are so greatful for the opportunity to Serve Our Savior with this life saving ministry.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8
If we need more faith to trust in the Lord, the way we can strengthen our faith is to read God’s Word everyday.
Not only read it, but meditate on it. Make God’s Word part of our life. We will find all the answers in the Bible.
The secret to having your prayers answered is found in this verse from God’s Word.
To abide in Jesus daily requires dependence upon the Holy Spirit in which we do three things: Walk by faith. Spend focused time. Engage in intentional actions.
To have your prayers answered, you must abide in Jesus.
While traveling, Carolyn Curtis and her daughter were not on a main highway but going through a small town when the phone rang.
A white work truck was following behind her. On the back of Carolyn’s car is this written: DO YOU KNOW 3 THINGS GOD CAN NOT DO? and Carolyn’s cell phone number.
Carolyn usually does not answer unknown callers but felt that she should answer this one.
A man said, “What are the 3 Things GOD Cannot do?”
Carolyn explained, GOD Can Not Lie, GOD Can Not Change and GOD Can Not Let Anyone into Heaven unless he is born again.
After a little more conversation, both Aiden and Howie, the 2 men in the truck, prayed and ask Jesus to be their Savior.
Both men will receive a Bible Study and will continue to learn more about their new faith.
It is a good thing to obey the still small voice that had Carolyn answer that phone call.
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Luke 14:23
Lucas 14:23 – Y dijo el señor al siervo: Vé por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.
We live in a world full of trouble. Wars, disease, pestilence and natural disasters.
That brings fear into the hearts of many people, even Christians. God tells us to fear not. Have faith in Him.
Do you have little or no faith? A verse from the Bible for you.
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20
