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.

"INCREASING YOUR FAITH" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
INCREASING YOUR FAITH
WE ALL HAVE FAITH. WE USE IT ALL THE TIME IN OUR DAILY LIVES. WE ALSO NEED TO USE IT IN OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES. WE HAVE "THE" MEASURE OF FAITH AND THAT FAITH COMES FROM JESUS (HEBREWS 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.)
NOW I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT USING OUR FAITH IN DIFFERENT WAYS. FIRST IS MATTHEW 9:18-19 WHERE IT SAYS "While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him." WE CAN SEE FROM THAT PASSAGE THAT JESUS WILL MEET US RIGHT WHERE WE ARE. THE RULER HAD FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT IF JESUS WOULD GO TO HIS DAUGHTER AND LAY HANDS ON HER SHE WOULD COME BACK TO LIFE SO JESUS WENT WITH HIM. WE KNOW THAT JESUS COULD HAVE JUST SPOKE THE WORDS AS HE DID FOR THE CENTURION IN MATTHEW 8:8 "The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." BUT THE RULER'S FAITH WAS NOT THAT STRONG.
THIS NEXT PASSAGE IS ABOUT THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD. THIS WAS ON THE ROAD WHILE JESUS WAS GOING TO THE RULER'S HOUSE TO BRING HIS DAUGHTER BACK TO LIFE. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 9:20-21 "And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole." HER FAITH WAS SO STRONG THAT SHE KNEW THAT IF SHE COULD JUST TOUCH HIS GARMENT, SHE WOULD BE HEALED. JESUS FELT POWER GO OUT OF HIMSELF WHEN THE WOMAN TOUCH HIM AND SAID "THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE".
SO USE YOUR FAITH. READ YOUR BIBLE AND LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ARE READING. WHAT YOU NEED IS ALL THERE TO BUILD YOUR FAITH AND HOW WILL YOU BUILD IT IF YOU DON'T READ YOUR BIBLE. ROMANS 10:17 SAYS "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
