FAITH...Can Get It Done!

I recently had to do some HANDY work around my house! Leaky bathtub faucet, broken sink stopper, and a couple of malfunctioning light switches. There is a sense of JOY that comes to me when I am able to accomplish a seemingly IMPOSSIBLE task...at least in some misguided male mindsets. 

I'm so glad I took the INITIATIVE and FOLLOWED THROUGH with OBTAINING a diploma in Property Maintenance and Repair a few years ago when I was IN-BETWEEN positions. It has proven to be VERY USEFUL and a major BLESSING...as a HOME Owner!

See after a few BAD episodes with some so called "good" handymen, I DECIDED I wanted to LEARN the skill for myself...in hopes of NEVER having to be taken advantage of again for Home Repair! 

BELIEVE me FAITH WORKS...once you MOVE by it! 

I BELIEVED and TRUSTED God was a GOOD God...He Provided WITHOUT FAIL...once I SHARED my frustrations, my HEART with Him and ASKED Him to HELP me! 

Only by the Grace of God was I actually one of the FEW women to complete the program as well as be AWARDED TOP Trades-person for my GRADUATING class. But the BEST PART is that it was ALL at NO COST to me except for SHOWING UP and putting in the WORK needed! 

Now isn't that just like GOD to take the most UNLIKELY student and make her the HEAD and NOT the tail among LIKELY candidates and PROVIDE the money for the program all in one?

You too are meant to SHOW the Glory of God through your MOVE OF FAITH!

What has YOU frustrated? What would YOU like to SEE take place? What FAITH MOVES do YOU need to take to make it happen? God has brought it to YOUR ATTENTION so YOU can DO SOMETHING about it...but will YOU MOVE on it???

Again, I say to You...BELIEVE me FAITH WORKS...once you MOVE by it! 

LIFE LESSON: NEVER LET MONEY dictate your DREAMING, LEARNING & GROWING...GOD is SURE TO PROVIDE it...along as it is part of His Plan for You and will BLESS OTHERS!

LOVE...has FAITH that MOVES!

YOU MUST ACT UPON OUR FAITH TO SEE IT

Hebrews 11:5-7 (MSG)
5-6 By AN ACT OF FAITH, Enoch SKIPped DEATH completely. “They looked all over and COULDN'T find him because God had taken him.” We know on the basis of reliable testimony that before he was taken “he pleased God.” IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD APART FROM FAITH. And why? Because ANYONE WHO WANTS to APPROACH GOD MUST BELIEVE both that HE EXISTS AND that HE CARES enough TO RESPOND to THOSE WHO SEEK Him.

7 BY FAITH, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he COULDN'T SEE, AND ACTED ON WHAT he WAS TOLD. The RESULT? HIS FAMILY WAS SAVED. His ACT OF FAITH DREW A sharp LINE BETWEEN the EVIL of the UNBELIEVING world and the RIGHTNESS OF the BELIEVING world. As a RESULT, Noah became INTIMATE WITH GOD.

When you REALLY BELIEVE (have FAITH) in GOD & in WHAT HE SAYS...your ACTIONS will SHOW IT! Are you SAYING that you have FAITH but your ACTIONS SHOW OTHERWISE? Let's SEE!

Here are a few examples...

- You SAY you are BELIEVING God for your future HUSBAND but you step OUTSIDE Of HIS GUIDELINES by FORNICATING (having SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE) with the person you are dating.

- You SAY God is LORD over your life, but you CONTINUE to hang on to that idol/thing HE has CONVICTED you to GIVE UP all because you BELIEVE it is TOO HARD for YOU.

- You SAY you TRUST GOD but won't GIVE TITHE (10% of your income) and OFFERINGS to your local church because you are LOOKING at what the Pastor is driving versus BELIEVING that God will HONOR your commitment to Him OVER what things LOOK LIKE.

- You SAY you are going to be a "Woman of INTEGRITY" but as soon as your boss ISN'T watching you are DOING something you know you would NOT be doing if you were in their VIEWING range.

FAITH is a MOVING BEYOND what we may PHYSICALLY SEE...and BELIEVING what GOD SAYS by ACTING, DECLARING and MOVING towards what HE SEES! It can be scary and OUTSIDE of our COMFORT ZONE but it will MOVE the results you are LOOKING for towards you.

Now, Are you WILLING to have enough FAITH in HIM (not in yourself) to DO IT His Way or not??? Go ahead and ACT UPON your FAITH to SEE what comes of it...surely you know He has nothing but the BEST for HIS BELOVED Daughter!
