Faith

What is faith?

 It is extremely difficult to believe what you cannot see. But sight is not faith, and faith is the road we are called to travel, even when physical evidence is lacking. Archeological finds may confirm our faith, but they are not the source of it. In following Christ, we are called to believe in His name. The Spirit of Christ in us grants all the confirmation we need. 

By faith I am His daughter.
I walk by faith in the Son of God who loved me, shed His blood for me and resurrected on the 3rd day.
The testimony is, 2 nay but 3 that I am His child.  Water baptism (see the notes in my NIV study Bible), the Holy Spirit and the shed blood of Jesus, as He paid for my sin and then rose to redemption at the resurrection 3 days later.  That is all the proof i need.

For everyone who has been born of God has overcome the world......  smoking, sexual immorality.
This is the victory that has over come the world, even our FAITH.   1 John 5

Which says tome that I have all the tools I need to stop smoking, lose weight, stay away from sexual immorality  and change my behaviour  ~~  because I walk by faith in obedience.
I CAN do this.  WE CAN DO THIS !!!


 bargaining or manipulation until you're totally exhausted? Have you come to the absolute end of your rope?
One reason God may be delaying His answer to your prayer and postponing His intervention in your situation is to bring you to the end of your own resources. Sometimes God waits in order to allow us time to exhaust every other avenue of help until we finally realize without any doubt or reservation that we are totally helpless without Him.
