Faith


Faith comes many ways....heres 3....

1.by hearing the word Romans 10:17
2.by trials and test James 1:3
3.prayer...building up your most holy faith ....praying in the Holy Ghost.Jude 1:20

I think in my own experience faith grows when there isnt an obvious promise or what we think was a promise *doesnt* come to pass and when we dont have anyone or anything besides Jesus to place our faith on or in...

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1. Hoped for but not seen ......The NOT SEEN it part is where faith is grown and stretched.

What I mean is that we should place our faith in HIM. Period.Not in what he will or wont do...not in a *promise*.He is sovereign and He knows best and it may all crash,die and burn but He's God.

Cant put God in a box and demand or expect a promise ....His ways are unsearchable.....Promises are overrated. Contentment is key. Faith is not knowing how what or why but resting anyway.....If we knew how it was all going to turn out...that wouldnt be faith.
