Faith

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, but I also believe that it comes from experiencing the mercy and grace of the Lord in those days when we lack faith.

Jesus the greatest teacher of all said the following: "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

Now you know that a mulberry tree is the most difficult tree to uproot. It's roots are knotted and spread out everywhere and once rooted it takes ownership of it's land.

But here Jesus tells us that our faith - a little faith - can uproot this mulberry tree.

I'm pretty sure we have to be confident in that little seed of faith to do some difference.

Can you imagine if we had giant seed faith what can we do for Christ here on earth?

Day 13 - I'm Still Waiting

Well I woke up today yes with pain, but this time the pain was less. Could it be that I am getting use to the pain or am I believing without a doubt that I am healed.

Today I was reading Mark Chapter 2 and focused in on one of the miracles the Lord performed that day and it was the one where the Paralytic was healed. What struck me the most was that the Lord healed him, because of the 4 men. The 4 men were determined to get this paralytic healed even if it meant tearing the roof off.

When Jesus saw this he forgave the paralytic and healed him. There it is. Our level of faith determines the outcome. God sees our level of faith and gives us accordingly. Wow. I needed to see that and remind myself that I am healed. My level of faith produces the outcome.

Day 12 and Still in Pain

Went to the doctors and had several tests taken, but still waiting on results. I am still in pain, and disappointed that it has not gone away. I am frustrasted and angry. The question that I pose once again is how come life is so difficult? Sure I know what the bible says and yes I have faith and I believe, but when is enough ~ enough.

I am lying here believing that my body will be completely healed. Why? I was studying Mark Chapter 1 and showed how Jesus healed the people and when He did He healed them completely. That is the God I serve. I serve a God that heals completely and so while I wait for results and complete recovery I ask the Lord for peace.

Sickness Is it Really A State of Mind?

Lately my health has not been cooperating with me. I have to take several days of work off and also ended up in the ER. At the ER I wondered what if they found something really horrible how would I react. I must admit that I prayed and was trusting that Jesus would see me through it, but then I would waver back and forth.

Kept telling myself that Sickness can be overcome with your mind and the Word of God. I know this to be truth, but lately even my thoughts are cloudy.

I really don't know my diagnosis as of yet, but sure glad that I was able to go to the ER and that they discharged me and I was able to make an appointment quickly. For those people who have an illness and no health benefits it is so difficult. I pray that this country would one day realize all the damage we cause when we make this impossible to achieve.

While You Were Sleeping

Was viewing a video clip on youtube with Casting Crowns " While You Were Sleeping" and it really moved me. Jesus the greatest gift of all and the reason why we must keep Christmas alive. Sure we forget and get caught up in the hustle and flow of the commercialize version of Christmas. I'm guilty. But this year it's so different.

I am taking the time to examine my heart. I am taking the time to wake up, before it's too late and I miss out on many blessings.

While You Were Sleeping made me realize that God is waiting for me to wake up so that I do not miss out!

What an awesome Father. He just loves to give and give.
