I Don't Know...(Part one)

Note: Please read "My Faith is a personal thing" first
then this blog "I Don't Know...(part one)" then (part two).

If you ever read the Bible, you would be astonished at how
the saints (old and new testament) talked.

I am persuaded...
I am convinced...
I am sure...

etc...

You see, you have to get to the realization that
Our LORD is interested and willing (because love
is like that) to help, and deliver you (daily).

Is your family only interested in hearing from you
once or twice a year?

Ok, so HE wants to deliver you...

From what?

Sin and all the bi-products of sin:
Fears, worry, lack, sickness, disease, confusion, stress,
burdens, trouble to name a few.

And its only done by HIS LOVE (GRACE) and your FAITH
which is also HIM pointing you to HIS provision and
you choosing to believe it.

Because it doesn't take real faith to believe in a
future with the LORD coming back (really its called
a future hope) not real faith. Hope and Faith are
two distinct different things.

Titus 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

What you need faith is for now, today - for the present
need.

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God,

(here is what real faith is):
because anyone who comes to him must believe that HE
exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Its FAITH that sees you through your present difficulty,
sickness, lack, family problem, addiction, weakness.

How did you get saved, in the first place?
How do you know your sins are forgiven?
How do you get anything from the LORD?

By Faith, By Faith, By Faith!

Because HE is a personal saviour. Personal meaning with you
(not far off), but close and beside you and actually 'in you'.
HE doesn't need convincing because HE is LOVE and will always
want what is GOOD (HE is GOOD) and HE is consistently and
perpetually GOOD and LOVING towards you.

(See blog on love for more on that.)

We in our prayers are not trying to 'convince' HIM. Those
kind of prayers are really showing you a lack of faith, because
they are really trying to 'convince ourselves' more than anything.
HE doesn't need convincing!

Does a child need to beg his Mother for dinner and try to
convince her. If she is making dinner, then she is providing
for the entire family.

How does the little guy know he is going to be fed?
because it is the key to real faith!

How does Faith come?
FAITH is a person - its JESUS...

Its seeing JESUS, and who HE is and what
HE can do.

Here's the scripture to prove it:
Galatians 3:25
Now that faith has come, we are no longer
under the supervision of the law.

When JESUS came, He fulfilled the law and all
the rules, and commandments and gave us HIS new
law of love shed in our hearts. We don't need
rules and the 613 laws of the old testament anymore
(summed up in the 10 commandments).
More on that in law and grace blog that is going to
be posted soon. JESUS fulfilled every law and
gives us HIMSELF to fulfill the only law left - LOVE!

Ok, so if Faith is a person - JESUS.
And if I am a Christian, or a believer in JESUS
then I must already have faith - right? YES! Romans 12:3

The problem is with how you learned about GOD
because how I learned (when I went to Bible School and such) and
how I learn today are completely different!

We need a biblical understanding a Jewish way of being taught
and learn (not the western/gentile way of learning).

The Gentiles (Greeks) want wisdom, and the Jews require signs
but we preach JESUS the wisdom of GOD and the Power of GOD.
see 1 Corinthians 1:24
