Does Faith Work?

Many people think faith is like making a wish just off the top of your head. People make idle wishes all the time and most of the time the wish does not happen. Faith grows from the gift that is given to every person. From that point on faith goes from faith to faith and on and on. Study the Word and your faith will build.

Sometimes when we pray, it seems as though nothing happens. I want to assure you my friend that God still answers prayer! He may not answer according to your desires, but the answer will be the right one, because God sees beyond today.

We often see only today and our prayer is trying to solve today's problem without any regard for the long haul.

The Bible tells us where "Faith" comes from: Romans 10:17 "So then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God".

Maybe we should check and see what are we hearing? Our minds are flooded with "bad news", people killing people, civil unrest, homeless people, families in trouble, children being tossed to and fro. People in high places that we are told to look-up to for an example fall into all kinds of sins.

A simple act of picking up the Bible and reading most anywhere in there will cause you to start faith growing. Shut out those other things that hinder faith in God and you will be surprised at what happens in your life.

You will read that faith in God can help you to get rid of that heavy load of guilt. By faith we are able to have power to please God (John 1:12). By faith we have forgiveness of all sin. (1 John 1:9) We believe in the Crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By faith we stand in victory over the enemy and look for the return of Jesus. By faith while we are waiting for the return of Christ we can receive healing in our bodies because the Bible tells us Jesus received stripes upon His back for our healing. We read it in the Old and New Testaments.
