WHERE FAITH IS BORN

 







WHERE FAITH IS BORN!


What is FAITH?   Why does

It involve such

INCREDIBLE RISK?


“Brothers and sisters=FAITH

Is the realization

Of what is HOPED FOR


And evidence of things

NOT SEEN”                                                                                                 Hebrews 11:1


I think it is GREAT

When our lives are

Going our WAY


When we are having SUCCESS

With all the things 

We are doing


When this is happening=we think

Our faith

IS PAYING OFF


God is GOOD

God is great

We are being REWARDED

For our good behavior


But I DON'T THINK

That that is

What faith is


I think FAITH is

More about

What keeps us going

In the DARK DAYS


It is HOW we

KEEP on going

When our HEARTS ARE BROKEN

That is what

TRUE FAITH IS


And I hope you have Jesus

I hope you have God

In this tough tough world

You are going to NEED HIM


“As they set out

Jehoshaphat stood and said=


'Listen to me Judah

And people of Jerusalem!


Have FAITH

In the Lord your God

And you

Will be upheld


Have FAITH

In his prophets

And you will be successful'”                                                                                   2 Chronicles 20:20


“I long to see you

So that I may

Impart to you

Some spiritual gift

To make you strong--------


That is

That you and I

May be mutually encouraged


BY EACH OTHER'S FAITH”                                                                       Romans 1:11-12


God brings good things

Out of our lives

When the circumstances

Are overwhelmingly

AGAINST US


He does NOT give up

On us=if we do not

Give up on ourselves


I think our FAITH IS BORN

When we have the ability

Not only to ACCEPT-

But to persevere-and EMBRACE

The adversity in our lives


I have embraced the OVERWHELMING 

Circumstances against me in my life=

I HOPE=

That you have too


“For in the gospel

The righteousness of God

Is revealed


A righteousness that is

BY FAITH=from first to last

Just as it is written

'The RIGHTEOUS will LIVE BY FAITH'”                                                           Romans 1:17


So step out IN FAITH

When the world is AGAINST YOU


That is WHERE

YOUR FAITH IS BORN


You just might be SURPRISED

With WHAT GOD can do

With your gift


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of OUR EVER FAITHFUL FATHER
