TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Saints of God,
I pray that this new year has been blessed for you thus far. This young year is filled with potential and possibilities that await us. While it is indeed a new year, new beginning for us, it is not new to God. He knows our end before the beginning. He has a plan ordered for us in this year. In our seeking Him, He will step by step, reveal that plan to us. Its in the seeking Him that His plan finds us. To acquire and achieve what is available to us, we must reach out in faith, and even faith must be rooted and grounded in what God has spoken in His word. I recently shared with the TMI congregation that often our faith, though sincere, is often fragile, if we were honest. Even the strongest believer may find themselves doubting or at least wondering if we are on the right track or whether we should move at all. So how can our faith find the strength to cause us to move in spite of the uncertainty? Paul's letters to the Galatians and Ephesians encourages us not just to have faith in Jesus but to have the faith of Jesus. We must remember that when Jesus came as a human like us, He had to operate by faith in the Father just like us. The book of Hebrews tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God." It was not just Jesus's unwavering obedience that pleased the Father, it was His faith in what the Father said He would do. As a result Jesus spoke faith, then acted on faith. "No on takes my life but I freely lay it down, and if I lay it down I will take it up again." "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again." These are just two quotes of Jesus declaring the faith statements I will. His faith worked! He did die but He did rise again, evidence His faith worked. When we accept Christ, He by His Spirit lives within us. Therefore, so His faith lives in us. When our faith grows weak we call on His faith within us. His faith never fails! Paul wrote "when I'm weak that's when I'm strong." The strength of His faith dwells within. In Christ all things are possible!
