What is Faith?

What is faith? Faith is what: we EXPECT our future to be. Faith is whom: we place it in to get us there. There is a distinct and important difference, a fine line between a hope, a belief and a Knowing. What will your future be? Do you hope, believe or do U Know? Does God make a way for U, or do U make that way for yourself? Does who U R in this life, mater in the next? R U spirit, or just a random life form that winds up being just pile of dust? Jesus said, your faith will heal U. But that spiritual law has two edges to it. U either love, or U hate. U either go towards the light of God, or to the shadows. U R either honest with yourself and God, or U R a deceiver, to yourself, others, and Him.

God’s Beautiful Creation, Do You See It?

I want to share some very personal things with you. These pictures that you see on my website. They are not some pictures I grabbed off the Internet or borrowed. I took each and everyone of them myself. They are from years and years of taking photographs. I love to capture life, the Father’s creation, not just with words, but with pictures and video. The joy of the Lord can be found in his creation, if we are spiritually aware and can see it. I can take a beautiful photo of the sunset. One person could say, yeah that’s nice. Another could say, isn’t it amazing how infinitely wonderful God is to have created such a thing, and he does it constantly, everywhere you look, if you take the time and the attention off the busy life, and seek it, find it, and appreciate it. I am truly grateful to Him for having the opportunity to witness it. And the majesty in His creations never gets old or taken for granted. Or does it?

Trust Jesus

Just start talking to God like he was sitting right next to you. He likes that.

These times are difficult for most of us. We’ve been isolated, distanced, remoted ( know that is not a word, but it is now for me, Webster take note) from each other. Staying healthy is a challenge, both mentally and physically. Keeping faith in God takes more effort, since we are more alone in our prayers, worship, and songs. Trusting Him is the same act, but we have to encourage ourselves more often, since we need to do more of it, and we have less encouragers. It’s so much easier to get pumped up in your spirit when you are worshiping with many others. It’s great to get out and be among others, but if we are honest, we still fear getting the virus. And what that is, is for another post sometime. But the reality is, the anxiety and fear are felt more often than we admit. And they cripple us, and steal our joy for life. But we cannot let them.

Pray, Often, It Does A Soul Good

Pray. How many of us pray, during the day, when it is not convenient, and even unceasingly? It is a most difficult thing to do, and yet, the most powerful and useful thing we can do. Prayer opens the flow of our Relationship with the Father, when we can receive all things, and see clearly His work in others and in us. Prayer invites the Holy Spirit to talk to us, show us God’s plan, His will. If we do not pray, we see with our own eyes, listen with our own ears, do what we want to do. But, if we pray, we see and hear God, and do what He wants, and then we can please Him.

Holy Oil Anointing Miracle

I want to share with you and experience that I had I little while back. I was in a doctor’s office, and I knew one of the assistants. She sensed I needed prayer, so we went into one of the rooms and she prayed for me. While she was praying, she touched my forehead with her finger. About halfway through our prayer session, I asked her if she smelled that. She just kept praying and didn’t acknowledge what I said. I said again do you smell the holy oil? And she just kept praying. The room had filled with a fragrance so amazing that all I could think then and all I could think now is it was holy oil of God. It was an amazing aroma. As soon as she finished praying the smell left. I mean, the whole room was full of the fragrance, and then there was absolutely nothing left of it. I can’t remember specifically what she prayed, but I was in agreement with her, and it was powerful. I asked her again, I said did you smell that. She said no she didn’t. She said that was just for me from the Lord.

The 3 Arks of God’s Safety

The Father knows we need peace and safety from the world and all that is evil in it. Jesus told his disciples over and over again, fear not, the world has many troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world. From the beginning of time until now, God has sent three arks for us to use. The first ark was Noah’s ark. The great flood was coming. God saved a small group, and all the living creatures as well, by giving Noah the task of building a large boat, an ark, by which they would be saved. This required great faith and obedience and effort. He heard God’s voice among all the distraction, deception, and destruction, listened carefully and, with great courage, did what the Father asked him to do.
