Trust the one who loves you.

People often think God is not with us today?  If you look at this world people think it is going to hell in a hand basket.  It makes you question yourself and wonder does God see all this.  Some may say in all this craziness where is the Lord.  I can tell you exactly where He is.  God is always with you and me. The Lord God Almighty is always in the NOW no matter what is going on in this world, your country, your city or your personal life, God is there with you.  Below are a few scriptures that confirms that God is always with you, no matter where you are in life.  

2 Corinthians 4:18

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Psalms 139:1-10

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.  You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out and my lying down;  you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.  You hem me in behind and before and you lay your hand upon me.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.  Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bead in the depths, you are there.  If i rise on the wings of the dawn, you are there.  If I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold fast.

What you need to know is that God is always with us no matter where we are in life, or where the world is.  God knows, and God sees all.  Remember He is your strength and is always in the NOW with you.

The reason I am making this clear statement is I want you to have faith in the one who created you. You need to know God is here with you at all times.  For you to believe this you must have faith. Faith is the basis for trusting the Lord.  Also I want you to know that the Great and Almighty God loves you.

Psalms 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  

1 John 4:10-12

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sings.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Psalms 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psalms 17:7
Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

Mark 11:22-26
Have faith in God, Jesus answered.  Truly 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.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Matthew 17:19-21
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, Why couldn't we drive it out?  He replied "because you have so little faith.  Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.  Nothing will be impossible for you.

Live by Faith

Live by Faith

Hebrews 11:1-3

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.  By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.



Hebrews 10:38
Now the just shall live by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Hebrews 10:38
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 are to please God, have a good life and have a relationship with the Lord we must live by faith.  The Christian life is a life of faith, hope and putting your trust in God.  This faith is much more than mere belief but rather a confident action.

Faith knows only one direction, forward.  If you backslide or wander from truth and joy, it is a lack of faith.  Faith is key to having joy and peace.

Romans 10:17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the Word of God.

If faith comes by hearing and hearing by preaching the Word of God, then preaching about faith should work.   We must read the Word so we can grow in faith.  We also need to be taught the Word by going to church and listening to our pastor.  Your pastor has his own faith which will come through his preaching.  Each person has their own level of faith and different life happenings that have grown their faith.  Your faith is particularly based on you and your own life, beliefs and trust in God.

Faith is not something we need to learn: it is something we need to exercise, by taking a leap of faith and trust in God.  Life is a roller coaster ride,  we all have ups and downs in life.  Afflictions and trial will come.  Are you ready for them?  Strong faith will not faint in adversity.  Strong faith keeps God's commandments, believes every Word of God, and trusts His promises.   Faith is a strong confidence in the promises of God.

Faith believes God so strongly that things hoped for become real and the invisible becomes seen.  Faith trusts God completely.  True faith is much more than bare belief, for its results in action

Galatians 5:6
For I Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.  The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

God has called us to a life of active obedience by faith, not bare belief.  Faith believes every Word of God without question or compromise.

Isaiah 8:20

Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning.  If anyone does not speak according to this Word, they have no light of dawn.

Faith believes the Bible of what He has done, what we should do and what He will do.  Faith pleases God, and you cannot please God without faith; consider Enoch and faith.

Hebrews 11:5-6

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death;  He could not be found, because God had taken him away.  For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.  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.

Love is greater than faith, for the Word of God declares it.  But faith is the foundation.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love.

We live and walk by faith, not by sight. Therefore, we act different than any others.

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.


Faith has four points
1.  Obey the Word of God and keep its commandments
2.  Pray to the Lord with all your heart.
3.  Deepening your trust in God
4.  Have outright visible faith
