“Your” Faith Against The World

Share on facebook

I would just like to ask this question, “What happens when you can’t get to your small group sessions, church gatherings or even to our jobs”? Many times after attending church, meetings, conferences and revivals, you can’t tell us nothing! We leave feeling like we can conquer the world, and nobody, I mean nobody better get in our way or they’re going to be demolished.

But what happens when no one else is around, we’re alone, and all of our emotions are back to normal and we are faced with personal trials and test? We sound good encouraging one another when the shoe is on someone else’s foot.

What happens when “you” get sick, lose “your” job, lose a loved one, confronted with losing your home; what are you thinking?  Do we possess enough Word to get us through and if we do is the Word enough to keep us afloat? Do we still believe, hope and trust what we’ve read, what we know is true? When devastation knock on our door, how do we answer?

No matter how we pray for each other, wish for one another, it ultimately comes down to what we believe. It is written, “as a man think in his heart, so is he”. In almost every difficult case in the Bible when Jesus came on the scene, His response to them was, “ According to “your” faith, be it unto you”. Or, “ “Your” faith has healed you”.

Although there were many around, whom you would have thought was there to support the father and mother of the little girl who was pronounced dead, they laughed when He said she wasn’t dead but sleep. The woman with the issue of blood, where was her friends as she suffered 12 long years, who was there when she made the decision, I’m going to get help, while the Healer is here? What about the blind man who called out after he heard Jesus was coming through? The people told him to be quiet, yet he continued to call out for the Master. This world system said the little girl was dead, based on the rules set in the earth; the woman bleeding was unclean and should not have been anywhere near other people. The blind man was a minority, because most of them could see in the natural and they were probably thinking it isn’t anything He can do for you anyway.

But in times of trouble and situations, and it appears everyone has turned their back on you; the doctors, friends and family, you’re going to be faced with the fact that the decision will be in your hands as to what you believe.

When my car battery blew up in my face, I immediately said, “Lord, I don’t want to be blind” and my faith had to kick in. Based on this world’s theory, the acid should have put my eyes out and messed up my face, but my faith said I was healed and protected.

When the doctors give us up, lawyers, say you can’t win based on the evidence against you, health report looks gloomy, and you think you are all alone, remember, God will take the foolish things to confound the wise. Go wash in the dirty water that you may see, the world thinks and say, don’t do it, can’t you see the water is dirty? The outcome will be based on what we believe and act on; it’s on you!
