I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

A FRIEND AND I WERE TALKING THE OTHER DAY AND HE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM. I SAID USE YOUR FAITH AND BELIEVE GOD'S PROMISES. HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FAITH. I ASKED HIM IF HE BELIEVED THE BIBLE? I KNEW HE WAS A CHRISTIAN, AND HE SAID CERTAINLY. THEN HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU HAVE NO FAITH? I SAID YOU HAVE THE SAME FAITH AS EVERYONE ELSE. HE SAID HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT. I ASK HIM AGAIN, DO YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE? IT SAYS IN ROMANS 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

I EXPLAINED IT TO HIM THIS WAY. SAY YOU WERE IN A SOUP LINE AND THEY WERE GIVING OUT A MEASURE OF SOUP TO EVERY ONE. THAT COULD BE ANY AMOUNT AS THEY COULD USE ANY TYPE OF MEASURE. IF THEY ARE GIVING OUT "THE" MEASURE OF SOUP, THEN EVERYONE GETS THE SAME MEASURE. ROMANS 12:3 SAYS EVERY MAN WAS GIVEN "THE" MEASURE OF FAITH. I TOLD HIM HE DOES HAS FAITH BUT NEEDS TO EXERCISE IT. IF YOU DON'T USE IT, IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING FROM GOD. IF YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR FAITH, JUST BE AWARE OF WHAT HEBREWS 11:6 SAYS "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN FAITH BUT IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT IT AND USE IT, FIRST, YOU ARE NOT PLEASING GOD, AND SECOND, YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON SO MANY BLESSINGS.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU BUT I AM GOING TO USE MY FAITH BECAUSE I WANT TO PLEASE GOD. I WILL LEAVE ONE MORE THING WITH YOU. I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE SICK AND YOU ARE BELIEVING EVERYTHING THE DOCTOR SAYS. SOMETIMES THEY ARE WRONG BUT 1 PETER 2:24 SAYS Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. NOW I BELIEVE THIS MORE THAN I DO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE JESUS IS NEVER WRONG. KEEP GOING TO THE DOCTOR BUT START ALSO BELIEVING AND USING YOUR FAITH THAT YOU ARE HEALED. JESUS SUFFERED ALL SICKNESS ON THE CROSS SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THAT. THEY HAVE FAITH THAT HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS BUT DON'T BELIEVE THAT BY HIS STRIPES THEY WERE HEALED. WE MUST USE OUR FAITH IN BOTH AREAS. IF YOU BELIEVE HE DID ONE, HOW COULD YOU NOT BELIEVE HE DID NOT DO THE OTHER. ANYWAY, THINK ABOUT IT AND SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES. IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO GET WELL.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
