Faith is the only way to follow God. Faith is it. Faith is believing...knowing....assured of what is to come. Faith is NOT hoping. You must have faith in God...the faith that brings rest within your soul. Knowing it will happen...but not knowing when. The when will be in Gods perfect timing. BY FAITH marriages are restored. God will give you faith as you open up your heart to him....and open his word. Faith will take you through to the end of the journey in standing. God will strengthen your faith as your in the season of waiting for your marriage to be restored. He will show up and just strengthen and assure you again and again as time goes on....that HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS SAID. But Faith is Gods will. So if you do not have faith in God.....the faith that believes what you read in his word. .....know that it is his will that you have and live by faith. SO the Holy Spirit will give you faith. Believing God is not doubting him. Its not going back and forth...to and fro...because of what you see today. No body can convince you enough......to cause you to have faith. Faith comes from God.......through his word. SO if you do not have the faith that truly believes and rests in God.....then do not turn to me......do not turn to anyone else......TURN TO GOD...and ask him for faith. Faith that believes his promises. NOW faith is: being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. Heb 11:1 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly SEEK HIM. Heb. 11:6 Do not assume nothing...because of where everything is at today. Do not make your decisions by feelings n assume nothing will change because of what your eyes n ears see and hear today. STAND STILL. WE LIVE BY FAITH, *NOT* SIGHT. 2 Corth 5:7 DO NOT BE WISE IN YOUR `own` EYES. Prov. 3:7a Gods ways are not our ways, his thoughts are not our thoughts. His timing is not our timing.....his perspective is not ours. SO lets take on JESUS. Lets exchange our thoughts for his thoughts and our hearts for his heart.....his mind....his wisdom......... Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.....Heb 12:2a IF we get stuck in ourselves in our own thinking, thoughts......we must turn to his word...and have a little talk with Jesus....and ask for him to speak his thoughts to us. Listen to my instruction and be wise; to not ignore it. Prov. 8:33 See Martha was looking at what her eyes and her understanding saw. Lazarus was dead! It was over in her eyes. She basically was telling Jesus its too late.....Lazarus has been dead 4 days now....its over.....hes gone......but what did Jesus tell Martha? Did I not tell you that IF you BELIEVED, you would see the glory of God? John 11:40 Martha was looking at her circumstances...in her own natural thinking/eyes. Again it is faith...believing God is what is needed. Gods word says to us..... So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Rom. 10:17 Saturate your mind with God.....in his word......with a open /willing heart. You will obtain faith. God will give it to you. God is able!!!! But he responds to faith. Karen~
