easy but you can do it if you um persevere and and so I've seen it it's very easy for me to underestimate how important encouragement and hope is and Faith Jesus oftentimes when people came to Jesus they'd have these odd

encourage all of you is, uh, just keep going and a lot of us are different emotional, different personalities. Um, prove your faith through persistence. Uh, prove your faith through continuing to get up. Um, one of the phrases we use

nails now it's time to build building the right way it builds good so I wanted to share something along those lines in Hebrews 11 verse 7 it says about Noah by faith Noah being warned by God about

a sincere heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and full assurance of faith having our hearts

um I've struggled with that sometimes in the past thinking do I have enough faith to get through some big trial that got me send my way what if God puts me through some trial like he did with Abraham who had to sacrifice Isaac would

work of service to the building up the butt of the body in Christ until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to a mature man to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ

ground I have to have the right heart and I have to agree with it and take it by faith in Hebrews chapter 4 talks about how the Israelites were not able to enter the land of rest and it says the words did not profit them in Hebrews

been faithful with reading the Bible I've been in the word every single day I'm so whole harder for God if I've been praying consistently every night I'm making it through the list I'm wholehearted for God but I've found a

I think they should have woke up Jesus they did the right thing but in the wrong way he said why are you afraid you men of little faith what a disappointing cry of help and so I've seen that a lot of my prayers these Christ for help they're good but

this is so hard um if there's hope then it's it's so much easier to bear so much lighter and so i saw when i feel something is so heavy i should come to the lord and say lord is there any lack of faith here is there any fear lack of hope that you won't

raised in the faith and so I kind of I feel like I took it for granted for so long um but I feel that that verse speaks something differently to me than it did before like before I would say this is what it looks like when somebody

starting from verse 17 to verse 19 it says so that christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and that you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length

be done according to uh accord to me according to your word. And I I love that that picture of submission just a a young faithful woman who like my life's not really my own I just want God to get something out of me. Um if he can use me then praise God

that has short stories about heroes of the faith and i saw some examples in his life about how he had such a zeal for god to be filled with the holy spirit he was just a teenager newly saved and he's and i i was reminded of of that

all our heart we want to we're not working for heaven we're not working for our salvation salvation is by faith in Jesus by by His grace is by grace through faith that's our salvation is already secure in the Lord we're not

and um when somebody God fills somebody with the spirit he doesn't magically just give them the Bible in their minds from Genesis to Revelation it's the faithfulness that they put in beforehand um that has uh that the Holy Spirit

in the lord always and so there's a a difference to make and there's a there's an inward part of there's a satisfaction in Christ outside of everything else that is possible for me if I have faith for it to have um in God only and we

theory from many good words that we hear and many good teachings that we have but I'm seeing from this that sometimes God just has to take us through an experience we this stuff that I've learned for a long time we know faith is

Jesus the author and Perfecto of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross so he just because it was long and arduous doesn't mean that it wasn't joyful it's not a joyful but it doesn't mean it's not a joyful race

areas, waiting on the Lord. This is where your faith is tested. Keep praying in these times of waiting that and trusting in the Lord. Submit to his will and all these things, but also to his timing. You won't regret it and your patience

rejected in regard to the faith they will not make further progress for their folly will be obvious to all just as Janice and jam breeze folly was also and so I didn't know who these people were and so I looked it up and the Old

believes in Jesus put their faith and trust in him but not every sheep is as close to the Shepherd as everyone else summer on the outskirts towards the fence but some are right next to him and I heard of saying that the sheets that

and my desire has always been to hear the words that Jesus spoke in Matthew 2523 well done good and faithful servant that's been the desire of my life I want to hear a well done good and faithful servant I have I'd have such a joy to
