Faith Is Simply taking God at His Word

Faith Is Simply taking God at His Word

Never diminish your faith in God by praying a prayer of defeat, and not one of total fearlessness and determination, that God will answer your prayers. John 4:46-53

“So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way……… and himself believed, and his whole house.” Faith is not sight ,smell, taste or touch it is simply taking God at His word which if he does not speak to you directly like he did Moses it is through his holy word the bible for in Acts 27:25 it says Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. The bible tells us, that the nobleman believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. Here we observed, our Lord and Savior did what this man requested him to do, but not in the way the nobleman wished or had requested of Him. So this tells us that God will save all to the uttermost who call upon him, but not always in the way in which we may desire. But we must always believe and have faith that Eternal life is the free gift of God, and he has a right to give it as he pleases; and he always gives his gifts in a way in which his glory is best promoted, and our eternal interest secured.

For Peter states in  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. And what’s so wonderful about this story  is in verse 53 it says and himself believed meaning he had faith, and his whole house believed. The sickness of the child became the pathway of  salvation for the entire household. so my friends remember it is never just about us. Jesus commanded His disciples to GO into all the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL. The key word is Go. meaning Go to our families Go to our friends Go to our neighbors GO to our co-workers and go to all the world and tell them about the good news of Christ love and His soon return.  So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget  to STUDY&PRAY
