Commendable Faith

Matthew 8:5-10

Faith is necessary to please God.
Hebrews 11:6
Faith is necessary for spiritual achievement and godly impact.

We see different types of faith manifested in scripture.
Faith when used or released will always bring results.
Luke 17:6
Faith can work through contact, contact with an anointed vessel or object. The vessel can be an anointed person of God and the object can be a point of contact like a prayer cloth or mantle.
Matthew 9:20-22
Some also use the anointing oil or water as a point of contact to release faith. This is not wrong if God has instructed it or directed a ministry or man/woman of God that way.

Faith can work or be released through the mouth too.
Job 22:28
We see in the account of creation from the book of Genesis 1, God released faith through His spoken Word.
The world was created by faith, God's faith.
Hebrews 11:3
God expresses faith through His words - He calls forth the things that be not as though they were.
Hebrews 11:3
The woman with the issue of blood received her miracle through a point of contact - the hem of Jesus's garment.
Matthew 9:20

A dead man came back to life through a point of contact - the bones of the prophet Elisha.
2 Kings 13:21
Jesus was a point of contact when He walked the earth- He was and is man's point of contact to heaven/the kingdom of God, the Father, miracles, and salvation
John 14:6
The apostle Paul used handkerchiefs and aprons as points of contact.
Acts 19:11,12
The pool of Bethesda was a point of contact for healing for whoever  got into it first
John 5: 1-4
Points of contacts are God's wisdom and a divine way of releasing faith. We see this from the Bible.

As wonderful as the release of faith is through a point of contact, it is not the faith God praised or commended.

The faith God commends in the scripture is the faith of believing the Word without anything tangible to hold or make contact with.
This is the kind of faith God created the world with.
Genesis 1.
Raw faith in the spoken word pleases God and brings God's commendation.
It is the kind of faith that believes the Word although there is no physical result to hold unto or see.
John 20:29

The faith that God commends is the faith that believes God's word delivers without needing any help.
This type of faith believes God's word is enough.
It is the type of faith that makes a person believe God said it, I believe it, that settles it.

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...
