The message for the beloved Children of God is - Where is your Faith !

Good morning To The Children of The King (message for 8/29/18)
The message for the beloved Children of God is - Where is your Faith !

The question for today is, Where is your Faith? I can hear in the spirit some people are thinking who is she to ask that question ? Now, lets get understanding first it's a question from God. Read Proverbs 4:5-9, it's not me that asked this ! Jesus asked, “Where is your faith?” I believe this is the same question the Lord would like to ask us today. Where is your faith? Where or what do you put your trust in? There's a Story told of President Abraham Lincoln. During the Civil War Lincoln met with a group of ministers for a prayer breakfast. One of the ministers said, “Mr. President, let us pray that God is on our side”. President Lincoln’s replied, “No, gentlemen, let us pray that we are on God’s side.” Lincoln reminded those ministers that religion is not a tool by which we get God to do what we want but an invitation to open ourselves to being and doing what God wants. Let's learn to pray  “not my will, but your will be done Lord.” Faith isn't in our name ? Our career? Nor Someone ? True faith, although indestructible, has the potential of increase or decrease, until perfected. Lack of faith is a denial of the sufficiency of Christ as Redeemer and Provider. It is distrust of who He is and His promises. When we distrust the spiritual realities promised to those in the faith, it will be revealed in our mundane earthly lives. Understand this, No human being can live without faith in someone or something. The difference between the believer and non-believer is not that one has true faith and the other does not. They both have faith in something or someone. The difference between the two is the object of their faith. One believes in himself and trusts in his or her own efforts. The believer puts his or her faith in Jesus Christ and trust in God who cares for us and is there to guide us daily. Therefore the believer's life, from start to finish, is a journey of faith. It's in Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Again is your faith Living Faith or Dead Faith? Understand, Dead faith would be something like speaking and not moving. Dead faith is the mark of a person who knows the right words, but does not walk the talk. Now, Living faith is the person who has been transformed in heart, soul, strength and mind, moving by the spirit of God.  “Love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” Read the book of James it's for those who are unsure in their faith walk. The counsel of James is the way to gain confidence by starting on the inside, not the outward being, your relationship with God will grow in active faith. Thank You Lord for Your Word. Heavenly Father, our prayer today comes from Psalms 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my thoughts (hearts); (test me and know my anxious thoughts) And see if there be any wicked (is any offensive) way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 




Scripture to meditate on in Love!
Paul's Prayer for the Ephesians, and my prayer for Us !
For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-19,That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
