Food Thought #13| Where is your Faith?!

source

Faith is the substance of things hope for and evidence of things not seen.

Just clearly understand that hope is not faith. Faith is now, hope is tomorrow; they are not related at all, so if you have hope, you don't have faith.

Do you even believe that something good will happen to your life one day? Do you see the future at all, or all you do is have a negative mindset about life? Faith does not work with negativity; it only works perfectly where there is positive energy, so if you must have faith, have a positive mind first.

Faith is calling those things that are not as though they were. You confess things you wish to see happen to you; that is faith. Don't judge yourself with your present situation; all you need to do is keep saying what you want to see.

I have a true life story to share...

Amanda had this wild faith in God that one day everything would be fine. She could see how bright her future was but didn't understand what was keeping it from shining. She kept praying and believing.

One day, her friends asked her to stop dreaming and join them in living life, but she wasn't called out for such, and so she refused. She kept pressing and believing that her faith in God wouldn't die. She looks herself in the mirror every day to say things to herself.

Amanda one day went to a wedding gown store to check out which one would fit her and how much, but she doesn't have any money with her, and there was no man in her life.

Hmm, this is crazy, right? I tell you, that is faith. It makes you do crazy and unimaginable things. She also went to shoe stores to check out prices and sizes. Amanda believed so much that she would get married someday to a very wealthy man, but she doesn't know when, and she never allowed her faith to go down.

Some years past since she went to check on the wedding gowns. She kept her faith alive, and one day, a gentleman came her way, and boom, that was the beginning of her change of story...

See, faith can only move you to do something crazy. Yes, people call it crashing, but that is the only way to move God. That is the only seriousness we show to God that we need a particular thing.

Where is your faith? Have you sown it out or dashed it? Even if you've prayed for twenty years or fifty years, it's not enough to lose faith, and remember, hope is different from faith. Faith is that which you do now.

Amanda had the substance of things she hoped for and the evidence of things she was yet to see. Why not try these measures and see the results?

A faithless prayer is a rootless prayer. So pray with faith today. Don't lose faith no matter what happens.
