He was absolutely sure that God
would be able to do what He has promised
( Romans 4 : 21 )

Faith, definitions The christian Faith Let's always talk about Faith Faith, conclusion   Where faith stops, worries begin Where worries stop, faith continues Let your faith be bigger than your fears   So don't worry about tomorrow ; it will have enough worries of its own ( Matthew 6 : 34 )   Faith is to believe that God the Creator wanted that we exist and He is very interested in us so He wants to give a meaning to our life. Faith is to admit that we have limit so we have to accept God's power ( F. Bailet )   Thanking GOD after He answers a prayer is gratitude. Thanking Him in advance is ... Faith       FAITH ( definition ) : Faith sums up relations between men and God. Faith is to trust in God for ever and ever. Christian's Faith is based on testimonies ( example the testimonies of the 12 Apostles, my own testimonies about GOD's protection, etc. ... ). You can read Hebrews 11, the chapter of the Bible which talks about Faith ; with many famous names to give us very good examples ( such as : Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, David, Samuel, etc. ) This chapter begins by :

To have Faith

is to be sure of the things we hope for,
to be certain of the things we cannot see
( Hebrews 11 : 1 )

 

 

 

Faith is to believe that those who has created the universe wanted our existence.
That we interested Him and He wants to give signification to our life.
Faith is to admit man limit and to accept God's authority
( F. Bailet )

 

 

 

Accept what is,
Let go of what was,
And have faith in what will be

 

 

 

No one can please God without Faith,
for whoever comes to God must have Faith that
God exists and rewards those who seek Him
( Hebrews 11 : 6 )

The Christian FAITH

... The righteous will live by his Faith ( Habakkuk 2 : 4b )       Faith : It's all about believing, You don't know how it will happen, But you know it will         Faith is like bird : it sings even if night is still dark ( Anonymous )       Faith believe in God through difficulties And through impossibility too ( the Good Seed 2006 )       Faith greatest triumphs go together with big bitter troubles ( Charles Spurgeon )       Faith is unseen but felt, Faith is strengh when we feel we have none, Faith is hope when all seems lost ( Catherine Pulsifer )         Faith doesn't always mean that GOD changes your situation, Sometimes it means He changes you ( Steven Furtick )         Your faith becomes strong after troubles. With sufferances, we learn to know our weakness and we learn too God's fidelity ( John N. Darby )

Let's always talk about FAITH Faith is simple, But we have complicated it. Faith is just to trust, but we continue to discuss, we continue to judge God's words & God's acts. Christian's life begins and ends by Faith. We must keep up this life. Faith is large, but in general, it consists of many details than of miracles. For example, those in the letter to the Hebrews, chapter 11 :   Faith talks ( Abel ) Faith walks ( Enoch ) Faith builds ( Noah ) Faith listens to God ( Abraham ) Faith sees the invisible ( Moses ) Faith fights ( Gideon ), etc.   Faith is not the belief that GOD will do what you want. Faith is the belief that GOD will do what is right [ Max Lucado ]. Faith is more deep than human reason and human logic. Human reason and logic have their limits [ The Good Seed 2002 & 2012 ]     The enemies of FAITH : are Satan and human reasonings ( human reasonings without GOD's thought consideration ) : my own reasonings, the reasonings of my wife, of my husband, of my children, of my parents and grands-parents, of my colleagues at work, or my friends, of my class mates, of the media, of internet, etc. ).

BIBLICAL STUDIES about FAITH It's the plan of GOD   God permits Satan to live with us. God can put Satan anywhere in the galaxy, God can too burn Satan for ever but He didn't do that ! Why ? Because He has a plan : to live one day with a people who loves Him, to live one day with a people who obeys Him : the holy family.   God permits the temptation of Eve. Satan tells lies to Eve and Eve believes him, that means Eve didn't believe in God. Eve has decided to don't believe in God. It's the same for us, God permits the temptation to us everytime during our life. Satan can dupe only those who rejects the truth.   We can't stop Satan to attack our thought but we have to decide that his thought will not become our thought. You can't stop birds to fly up your head but you can stop them to not do nest on your head.   FAITH is the key ! To know the Bible is not enough to win spiritual battle, you have to believe really in God's words

 

 

With GOD
All things are possible

 

 

Faith in GOD
changes everything

 

 

Faith in GOD includes
Faith in His timing

 

 

GOD is never late
but on time
[ Michelle Murray ]

 

 

True peace comes from knowing
that GOD is in control

 

 

Thanking GOD in advance
is called ... Faith

 

 

 

 

 

Faith is seeing light with your heart
when all your eyes see is darkness

 

 

 

Faith is the light that guides you through the darkness

 

 

 

 

FAITH conclusion

We have not to doubt about God's power and about God's love. He orders and we must obey such as Elijah ( 1 Kings 17 : 4 ), we must obey God without thinking, because we know that He always wants our happiness. The most important is to be where He wants. For a believer, it's to search Jesus, to hear His Voice, and to live with Him the experience of His acts ( The Good Seed 2005 )   Let all the earth fear the Lord ... For He spoke, and it came to be ; He commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord foils the plans of the nations ; He thwarts the purpose of the people. But the plans of the Lord stand firm for ever, the purpose of His heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance ! ( Psalm 33 : 8 - 12 )
