HAVE FAITH: Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please God

HAVE FAITH

Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please God

Faith is one area that in the Bible we are encouraged to hold fast onto. The Bible tells us;

“But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].”
(Hebrews 11:6 AMP)

“But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him.”
(Hebrews 10:38 AMP)

In Hebrews 11:6 and 10:38 it is very plain that without faith you cannot please God and God will not have pleasure in you. This means that walking out of (not in) faith is very displeasing to God. Jesus rebuked the people for their faithlessness, and rebuked His disciples for their little faith. (Matthew 17:17; Mark 9:19; Luke 9:41; John 20:27). Jesus told Thomas to “not be faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe!” Jesus wasn’t joking about that because the moment you start to walk in faithlessness and disbelief God will not grant you your requests, and your relationship with God shatters. It is a very serious thing. To have faith in God means that you put all your trusts in Him, believe in Him, rely on Him, depend on Him, and you are acknowledging that you cannot do anything on your own without Him. You are actually giving over everything into the hands of God and saying “God I need You.” God loves that. He loves it when we make Him number one in our lives – when we make Him the center of our lives. He loves it when we put our hopes and trust in Him, because then we give Him the rightful place that He alone deserves in our hearts. Remember that He is a jealous God and will not suffer anyone or anything to take His position in your life. If you put other things before God the only thing that remains, if you do not repent, is the dreadful judgement of God upon the unbelieving, the thieves and all the wicked people.

It doesn’t matter how much you give to the poor, or how many times you often go to church. None of that will count if you are faithless. It will be pointless if you do not have faith in God. It is by faith and through faith that we are saved and have peace with God, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

2 Masters

2 Masters Deut. 18:14  -  'For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.   One of the main reasons Saints of God today are not being blessed is because they are serving 2 masters. And when I say blessed, I'm not talking about money! Atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, luciferians, etc. all can have money without being blessed of God, so get that out of your head. We have been programmed to hear the word blessing and automatically reach in our wallets and pockets, but working will get you money. God does not have to shovel out cash because he doesn't have cash, men do! So, work and you will havemoney! But when I say blessing, I'm talking about, your children being free from the devils strongholds, your marriage being sound and loving, your home being free from witchcraft, your possessions being safe from robbers and ...

Today I Will Make a Difference

By
Week of June 29 Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference. I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference. I will not let past failures haun...
