The message to the beloved Children of God - Now Faith !

Faith is believing in Him (Jesus Christ), even though you do not see him. Faith is necessary to please God. Read Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. If we want to please God we need to know about the faith that pleases God. The kind of faith that we need is called, walking Faith. We need to move forward in our faith, trusting His (Lord's) word. You do know the story of the woman with the issue of blood? She was healed by her faith. Read Mark 5 :25-34, And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. If we approach God with humility and put our confidence and trust in Him instead of in worldly things, our faith will enable our spiritual healing also. Heavenly Father, we walk by faith, not by sight. For it is through faith that we can trust that God is the One who has all the answers and knows what is best for us. For we can do nothing on our own. For it is written in John 15:5, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
