the signs of the last days is many Believers will fall away from the faith and I don't want to be in that number Matthew chapter 7 and I'll tell you the reason why many will fall away because the other thing he said there'll

Jesus I see that there is never an incident when someone came with need and with faith in him what sent out empty-handed so even when we see from the beginning of the ministry when he turned the water into wine he met he met

Christian like 40 and some one through eight and then he ends it with nothing's going to separate us from Christ so we're going to encounter a lot of things that it's going to challenge our faith but but the way I would sum it up at the

do the right thing when it comes to my family but a counter verse to this is also in hebrews chapter 11 we know this verse verse 6 which says without faith it is impossible to please god and so what the lord desires for me

God did all these amazing things he was faithful to the people and it says but they our fathers acted arrogantly in verse 16 they became stubborn and would not listen to your Commandments they refused to listen and they did not

stepped out of faith he went forward few steps but when he saw the storm he got afraid he was frightened so even though jesus was right before him he doubted and then he fell down he started sinking but then what did god do

that I wanted to mention have particular um importance for us in the Bay Area but the second thing is that it says whatever isn't of faith is sin. And we have to speak words of faith. And I want to distinguish words of faith

you're always with me I want more it's like God is asking me will you learn to love will you learn to be patient like I'm patient with you all the time my Holy Spirit is available for you for help well he should cry out in faith or we'll

focusing on myself and that's how is what can produce fruit in my life so in uh I want to share from Romans chapter 10 verse 17. faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of Christ so we heard about continuous repentance

Father and all his glory resurrected The Anointed One we too might walk confidently out of the gray faith into new life I've been rejecting old patterns of thinking as a serious practice verbalizing it out loud that I

he do it says with resolute heart I love this with resolute heart he said hey guys remains fruit of the Lord I encourage you let's remain true to him must be faithful to him he's been so faithful to us so that's just a few ways that we can
