the Struggle for Faith??

<< < (2/2)

arion:
It will come in time.  But it will come on God's timetable and not ours.  Someday you will look back and feel like hitting yourself in the head when you see how simple it is and yet our struggling in/with the flesh just makes it more difficult.  Faith is nothing more than believing what God says is true and then acting on it when you have the opportunity.  A lot of facets go into that like believe that God's written word is true, that the word never contradicts itself [that throws  off most of the church world right there], and basically believing that God will get us where we need to be when we need to be there whether we are one of the very elect of God or not.  Religion complicates things but true faith at it's core is simplicity itself.  Like a child.........

Try not to be so pessimistic when you read 'difficult' scriptures. Our Father already knows everything that is necessary to make us righteous and will deliver us as He has promised.

John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Hi Eugene,

Marques is spot on..

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

God Bless,
Jase

Ian 155:
I once heard a TBN preacher say he wanted faith and asked a around "how he could find this faith" IE can you give me faith ,where can I get some ...

In my personal experience faith, Commeth - progressive or progresses as, 'I believe The Father sees your need" you will face many situations or circumstances and this invisible force will rise in you,you will tremble and shake but somehow this force that arises carries you thru unscathed spiritually, but most of the time your flesh takes a pounding [ultimatly for your good and The Fathers Glory] - "I Believe" faith is the only aspect that God tests -

God Hath Given unto every man the measure of faith,so do not step outside what he has given you,Gods spirit in you will discern what you are able to do and what would be reckless.

He Jesus is the author and finisher of our Faith this does not mean we are on our own, this brings his word speedily to our memory based on his word only can we use faith - in times of lack " the Lord is my Shepperd" in times of blessing rejoice and bless others,in times of distress... - there is a [passage] way thru, for every situation,in the word - believe it.

David started taking down jackals,then wolves,then bears and lions - then he took out Goliath...
