What is Faith?

Hebrews 11:1 

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.




Faith is a conscious effort to live for God, and he takes care of all the rest. We choose to believe in Jesus, and we choose to live our lives for God. He wanted children who could choose their destiny, and who would love Him from their hearts and not from their minds.

Ritual religion satisfies our minds and justifies our weaknesses, but real faith leads us to repentance and the revelation of the love, peace and grace of  Jesus Christ.  Jesus came to show us what real living is like, how to live in the presence of God.

Righteousness flows from our willingness to give Him our lives, to allow Him to transform our hearts and minds,  to love Him with every ounce of our being. He is not looking for 'perfect' children; in our state that is impossible. He is looking for your willingness to depend on Him and not on yourself.


This is the ultimate truth about faith:  If you have faith, no proof is necessary, and if you do not have faith no proof will convince you otherwise. Faith is always a decision to live according to God's standards.

You Hold My Hand

Psalm 72:23

Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand




These are hard times to live in, but your presence consoles me, you bring life to my soul.

I feel the gentle touch of your hand pressing into mine, 
and you lead me onto the paths of righteousness for your name's sake.

When I feel down or lonely, I know that your are with me, you are in my heart,

so that when I praise your name and speak to you out of the abundance of my love,

you show your pleasure in my praise by filling my heart with peace, comfort, and joy.

The days are dark and filled with fear, but it is your presence that calms my spirit.

You are with me in everything that I do, and I am so grateful for your help.

I know that you will never leave me, nor forsake me, you give life to my soul, 

where there is hope, that is where the Lord resides........

The Healing God

 Jeremiah 33:6


"Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security." 



The World is seeking peace in the face of growing problems and issues; there is no better time to show them the love of God and His righteousness........

The coronavirus is not a judgement on the world, but a sign of the times....these are the last days of the world being run by the prince of darkness....the Prince of Peace is preparing to come into the world  to defeat His enemies and to save the people of God.....

We need to come to God when we are faced with problems that cannot be solved by our own efforts. When things like this come into the world and presents challenges that we have never faced before, we find that our eyes are opened to the fragile balance of life on planet earth....


We need to pray for deliverance, and to pray that the Lord will open the eyes of the people who are walking in confusion and in the darkness of their hearts. We need to keep still and let the Lord do His work in our lives and in the world.

This is not the end, but it is definitely the beginning to the end, and we need to prepare ourselves for His coming, and to let the world know that He loves them and that He wants to save them  for Himself.

Please Lord, let us be ready to receive you into our hearts and into our lives, prepare us for Your coming, and let us know how much You love us. Don't ever give up on us because we don't know who we are or what we need until you show us how much you care.

Praise be to God, who always shows His love for us by never leaving us or forsaking us!.... Let us be worthy of Your love by helping us to believe in You and helping us to never give up and to never give in........
