About
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.

"FAITH WINS OUT OVER FEAR" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
FAITH WINS OUT OVER FEAR
I THINK THERE ARE TWO MAJOR THINGS THAT CHRISTIANS ARE CONCERNED WITH THESE DAYS AND THEY ARE HEALTH AND FINANCES, ALL DUE TO THIS VIRUS. I KNOW NON-CHRISTIANS ARE ALSO CONCERNED BUT CHRISTIANS CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. CHRISTIANS NEED TO KNOW THAT THESE TWO THINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF FOR THEM. 3 JOHN 1:2 SAYS "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." WE JUST CAN'T LET FEAR CREEP IN TO TAKE AWAY OUR FAITH IN GOD'S WORD.
THE WORD "HEALED" WAS USED 34 TIMES IN THE FOUR GOSPELS ALONE. THERE IS NOT A PLACE WHERE JESUS DID NOT HEAL PEOPLE WHEREVER HE WAS. THE ONLY PROBLEM HE HAD WAS WHEN HE WENT TO HIS OWN HOME TOWN AND THE BIBLE SAYS "And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." AGAIN, WE CAN'T LET FEAR TAKE OUR MINDS AND FOCUS OFF JESUS AND GET INTO UNBELIEF.
THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS CHRISTIANS HAVE TODAY...UNBELIEF. THIS VIRUS HAS GOT PEOPLE INTO FEAR AND THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT "GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS". WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE JUST HAVE THE FAITH TO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED IN HIS WORD? HOSEA 4:6 SAYS "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." THIS IS WHY I AM SO ADAMANT ABOUT STUDYING THE BIBLE. ROMANS 10:17 SAYS "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
NOW AS FOR THEIR PROSPERITY, "PHILIPPIANS 4:19 SAYS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." AGAIN, HOW WILL THEY KNOW THIS UNLESS THEY READ GOD'S WORD AND USE THEIR FAITH TO BELIEVE? IT IS ALL IN THERE AND IT IS FOR ALL CHRISTIANS.
I PRAY THAT YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THESE CHRISTIANS WHO HAS LET THE FEAR OF CATCHING THIS VIRUS CLOUD YOUR MIND. YOU CAN'T LET FEAR DECREASE OUR FAITH. GOD GAVE US "THE" MEASURE OF FAITH AND IT IS UP TO US TO USE IT. WE HAVE AS MUCH FAITH AS ANYONE HAS BUT WE HAVE TO EXERCISE IT AND BELIEVE THAT WHAT GOD SAYS IS TRUE. WE BELIEVE HE WILL DO IT FOR SOME OF THE BIG PREACHERS BUT FOR SOME REASON SOME OF US DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE WILL DO IT FOR US. HE LOVES US AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE AND WANTS US TO HAVE THE FAITH IN HIM THAT HE WILL DO IT FOR US. THE BIBLE SAYS "WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM". DON'T YOU WANT TO PLEASE GOD? I KNOW YOU DO SO START USING YOUR FAITH TO BELIEVE. LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE, GOD IS A SPIRIT AND HE HAS DONE ALL THESE THINGS IN THE SPIRIT AND FAITH IS THE BRIDGE WE HAVE TO USE TO GO GET WHAT HE HAS PROMISED AND BRING IT INTO OUR LIVES.
WHEN YOU PRAY FOR SOMETHING, BELIEVE YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED IT. MATTHEW 17:20 SAYS "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove ; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO WRAP OUR LITTLE MINDS AROUND BUT JESUS WOULD NOT HAVE SAID IT IF WASN'T TRUE. WHAT IS YOUR "MOUNTAIN"?
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS VERSE IN MARK 11:24 WHERE IT SAYS "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire , when ye pray , believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. SO, WHEN YOU PRAY, HAVE FAITH THAT GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES. I GUARANTEE YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
