Let Faith Arise!

As I read the Bible I can't help but be reminded of the importance of our belief. Time and again I see scriptures saying things like "according to your faith" and "as you believe". It is a good reminder that our whole understanding of who God is, is based upon our belief. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that this is the very thing the enemy will be after; our ability to believe. The enemy will try everything under the sun to try to shake our faith. Try to cause us to question if what we believe is true. This is why it is so vitally important that we have a firm foundation. A foundation that is built upon the Rock. How can we be certain that our faith is built upon a strong foundation? It simple, it's by by living out this faith. Seeing our faith in motion will cause a confidence to arise within us that recognizes the truth through all the lies. Actively living for God creates opportunities for us too see God move on our behalf. And when you see God move in your life and in the lives of people around you there's no denying Him. Here's a passage from Matthew: “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:  and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-27, 27 NKJV). It's so very important that we are doing what God says, because than when the storms of life come our faith will not be shaken. Let faith arise!!!
Be Blessed
