INCREASE OUR FAITH!

INCREASE OUR FAITH!


The MOST important thing
We have in our life
Is OUR FAITH=
It is the ONE THING
That claims and transforms us
INTO a person of God=
A FOLLOWER of Jesus


There is a DIFFERENCE
Between those who put their FAITH-
Trust-and hope in GOD


And those who put
Their faith in those things
That are NOT God=
The material things
Of this world


INCREASE OUR FAITH!
Dear Lord


“The apostles said
To the Lord=
'INCREASE OUR FAITH'=


“The Lord replied=
'If you have FAITH
The size
Of a mustard seed


You would say
To this mulberry tree


'Be uprooted and planted
In the sea'
And it would obey you” Luke 17:5-6


FAITH is one of
MY strongest traits


When I was 22=and
NEXT to dead=I had faith
That God would SAVE ME
And he did


But that was JUST the beginning=
I had to PRAY to God
To sustain me in my chronic
Pain and illness


I had to pray to God
To INCREASE MY FAITH


“Do not trust
In extortion
Or put vain hope
In stolen goods


Through your riches INCREASE
Do not set your heart
On them” Psalm 62:10


A person who has
Set themselves up
To ACCUMULATE wealth or power
Or who sought fame
And notoriety


Has exercised a CERTAIN
KIND OF FAITH
But it is faith in
Self-wealth=or nation
It is NOT the FAITH
IN GOD


The only kid of FAITH
THAT LASTS=
Dear Lord=dear God
INCREASE OUR FAITH!=in you


“Immediately=Jesus reached out
His hand=and caught him


'You of LITTLE FAITH'
He said
'Why did you doubt?'” Matthew 14:31


“When Jesus saw their FAITH
He said
To the paralyzed man
'Son your sins
ARE FORGIVEN'” Mark 2:5


The opposite of FAITH
Is not doubt
But indifference
Without faith=we are IMMOVABLE


So dear Lord=like the apostles
And all SEARCHING PEOPLE
We say=
“INCREASE OUR FAITH”


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS ANSWERING GOD
