By Faith we shall stand!

By faith we will conquer and overcome many obstacles in our way.  By faith we will not lose hope for in us is something greater than us, greater than anything.  By faith we have received God's free gift of salvation, we have become God's children and we will see his glory.  By faith we can stand strong and we will not dare give up but by faith we will carry on and be part of his story.  However, none of this can be done without faith.  So therefore have faith! because it is through your faith you will be able to do amazing things even through your most difficult times.  Yes! especially in your most difficult times, for in your darkest hour your light will shine brighter than ever before.  Your faith in Christ will carry you through anything.  But if you have no faith, what will become of you? Jesus said "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.  But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."  (Matt. 7:24-27)
If you are weak, pray for strength!  If you are foolish, pray for wisdom!  If sin is creeping back into your life, repent and put on Jesus!  If you are confused, pray for clarity!  If you have been hurt, pray for healing and it will come.  Who other than God can heal a broken heart?  If envy and bitterness has found it's way in you, get rid of it and put on Jesus! Yes clothe yourselves in Christ and may his word serve as a shield against the enemy.  Remember, by faith you can do all things.  "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matt. 19:26)  If you feel you lack anything in your spiritual walk with God, then "....he/she should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him/her."  (James 1:5)  Have Faith!!  Love and Peace to you all!
