Faith!


Don’t lose faith in that God will give you what you prayed for!


Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.



Many of us are waiting for prayers to manifest, whether it’s for a husband or wife, a financial pipeline to be opened up, healing for your body or for relationships to be reconciled. Although it is easy to pray for something it is harder to maintain that same amount of faith you had when you prayed all the way to the manifestation.


I know that it’s hard to keep faith when you see the circumstances around you haven’t changed and money gets low, family acts as if everything is okay, even though you can feel that something is amiss. That’s pretty much been my experience growing up on and off, so I understand. I even remember cleaning a church member’s house on a regular basis in high school.


Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.



There will always be times when you have to experience some highs and lows, it is just how you handle each high and every low. I have learned that with each obstacle I learned how to handle the next hurdle before it even happens; for example if it finances, I learned how to save, budget and spend so that I am never without and having to scramble to find an income because of a need.


If it is something else nonfinancial that you are waiting on learn from this circumstance any way you can, whether it’s how to select friends, or treat your body and even how to communicate with family members.


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Ephesians 3:20


Ephesians 3:20
New International Version (NIV)
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,




We have all access through Christ.


Sometimes I forget that I have the ultimate hook up when it comes to….well… ANYTHING!


I believe that many people forget the same, we all have access to anything we want through Christ. Of course there may be seasons when the Lord does not give you what you want when you want it because He knows that you are not ready for it.


We all need a reminder of just how magnificent our God is; we serve a God that can literally move mountains! We all start out with a fire in our hearts to be the “best Christian” as possible only to burn out or simply have that fire dim and we get use to our routines and daily lives, the natural ups and downs that everyone else deals with forgetting that we aren’t like everybody else. We are not meant to be living mediocre lives, we are supposed to have fulfilling blessed lives.


The world tries to conform God to what we think He can do and who He is. When anyone thinks of God as they do man they immediately cut off the flow of abundance, because now they limited their scope of what good can come to them. For example, you can’t receive a opportunity that would take you where you have always wanted to go, if you are expecting a small pay increase at your job…


Expect the unexpected! Expect to be blessed and not limited! Know that you have an all access pass to the one and only who can take you or give you the things you couldn’t even imagine!

Mark 11:22-24


Mark 11:22-24
New International Version (NIV)
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.




There is no greater promise of God, other than salvation, than being able to say something, believe and receive it!


The biggest hurdle that we have to overcome is to control our mind and tongue, which go hand in hand. The mind can produce thoughts of doubt that something is going to happen or caught up in how something is going to happen as logically as we can make it out to be. Whenever we doubt for a second that God is going to pull through you have to rebuke that thought and say to yourself that you have what you said you wanted and God will provide it.


One powerful request is to eliminate debt, debt is like a mountain in almost every sense of the word. If more Christians knew that they can remove their with their faith and their words there wouldn’t be any believers in debt and restricted financially and spiritually to accomplish bigger and better things which would then cause more people to want to have what they have and end up getting saved.


Don’t be in lack for anything…I have said this many times, but it is worth repeating and believing!
