“Did you loose your hearing or your faith?” Rom: 10:17

“Did you lose your hearing or your faith? “ Rom.10:17”

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have so much faith, others have weak faith, and some have no faith at all? Is God unfair? No, God is no respecter of persons (see  2 Chron. 19:7). He is given to every man a measure of faith see (Romans 12:3)
And so, what is faith? Let me first say what it is not. Faith is not positive thinking or optimism. It is not a feeling that you can do something. It is not a hunch or looking on the sunny side of the street. Faith is getting a word from God and acting upon it. You see, you can get a word from God and believe that word. That this belief. But when you act upon it, that is faith. Faith is belief with legs on it. Today is the day that you put your foot of faith upon the promises of God and say, “ That promise is mine ! “Get back to the Bible. Your hearing and your faith will be restored. Let Jesus speak to this heart of mine and doubts will take the wings of the morning and fly away. Faith is not coming through the channels of human concept. Not along the paths of human understandings. Not by the abilities of minds to comprehend, or the power of the intellect to affirm. But Jesus speak, and the soul is lifted.
One little word from Jesus is worth all the words in a dictionary of human language. Faith according to the Bible is a gift of God and a fruit of the Spirit. There is no other source of faith; for it is the faith of God. You cannot have faith in God, unless you have the faith of God. That is why the Scripture says,” By grace are you saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.Grace and faith are so closely related that you cannot separate them. Faith without works is dead. Faith works, moves, operates and accomplishes things according to its measure and its power. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. How much do you know Him ? How often do you read His Word in order to get faith for your circumstances ?
 Do you still hear His voice? Do you live  by faith or by sight? Without faith you cannot please God.

Shall I pray to chance

“Shall I pray to chance?” Ephesians 6:18” And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. “ A certain woman was crossing the Atlantic and asked a sailor one morning how long it should take them to arrive. “If it is God’s will, we will arrive in Liverpool in 14 days,” said the sailor. “If it is God’s will !” said the woman;” what a senseless expression ! Don’t you know that all comes by chance? “ In a few days a terrible storm arose and the woman stood clinging to her cabin door in agony.” How long do you think it will last?” she asked the sailor.” It seems likely to last some time, madam.”” Oh ! “ she cried, “Pray that we may not be lost !” His reply was, “Madam, shall I pray to chance? “ Oftentimes, it takes pain or trouble to get us to really pray. This is the very reason God allows us to experience difficult times; to bring us to the place where we are reminded of our great need for Him. So when God allows pain in our lives, let us not delay i

How do you start your morning

How do you start your mornings? Psalm 5:3 "My voice shalt Thou  hear in the morning, or Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up. " Christianity is a love relationship. You cannot love someone that you do not know, and you cannot know someone that you don't spend quality time with. To know Jesus is to love Him. To love Him is to trust Him. To trust Him is to obey Him. To obey Him is to be blessed. It begins with a daily, quality communication with the Lord. Why is it best to spend time with the Lord in  the morning? Because you are getting ready to go on a road trip through life. You don't take the trip and then read the map, do you? How are you starting your mornings? With a cup of coffee, the paper, the news on TV ? Or with a pure milk of the Word and the light of His presence? Do you look up every morning or you look down to the things of this world ? You must start the day right. Start with God every morning for 30 days

What character do you have?

What kind of character do you have? Job 27:6 “ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.” I read a story of a pastor who boarded a bus one morning, paid his  fare, and took his seat. A few minutes later, he realized that the driver had given him too much change. Some people might have put it in their pocket and said, “Lord, thank you for your provision.” But this pastor knew that would be wrong. At the next stop, he walked to the front of the bus with the extra change and said  to the driver, “Excuse me, sir, you gave me too much change, and I wanted to return it to you because obviously you made a mistake.”The driver said, “Pastor, I didn’t make a mistake. I was at your church last night and heard you preach on honesty. I wanted to see if you practice what you preached “ Fortunately, he did. People are watching you as a Christian, virtually scrutinizing your every move. You should know they aren’t hoping you will be a
