Where Is Your Faith?

Mark 4:35-41

Every Christian claims to have faith and every believer believes they have faith, and rightly so.
 Romans 12:3
Faith is the most commonly taught topic in the body of Christ but it's also the most misunderstood.
When you observe many Christians especially during a time of difficulty, you will wonder where their faith is.
Faith is inspiring, contagious and encouraging when you see a person or people using their faith.
Faith is best seen when a man or woman is confronted with a challenge. Mark 4:35-41

Challenges are meant to be overcome by faith. 1 John 5:4
Our Jesus Christ is the best example of faith.
We see His faith shinning through each time He was confronted with difficult situations.
His faith in His heavenly Father was always steadfast.
Abraham's faith also shore and passed the test of life. Romans 4:19,20
Just like the disciples of Jesus were asked by Jesus about their faith, the Lord is asking you today, where is your faith?

Your praise reveals your faith.
Your sacrifice reveals your faith.
Your persistence reveals your faith
Your prayer reveals your faith.
Your confessions/declarations reveal your faith.
Your actions reveal your faith.
Your patience can also reveal your faith.

True faith is rare.
True Biblical faith is becoming more rare. Luke 18:8
True faith has to be contended for. Jude 3
To contend means to fight.
You have to 'fight' to have true faith.
You have to fight for it because the devil doesn't want you to have true faith.
This is why he raises false teachers, false doctrines, fake ministries and releases heresies.

What you hear determines your faith.
The enemy wants you to hear a gospel that's not God's gospel. There is a lot of it out there.
You have to fight for true faith because there are distractions and the pull of this world that will try and get you away from God's Word.
Fellowship often with God's Spirit and ask God to build true faith in you.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
