Will you be found faithful?

God is faithful, God is faithful all the time,  now are we faithful to God to do what he asked of us? Sometimes we forget to see that in our lives. He may of been impressing on your heart to do something,or to walk away from someone that is not the best influence for you,its personal with all of us, be found faithful, do what he says. It could be a matter of life or death sometimes! Don't let the situation become larger than God, and loose hope in God.  Never loose your hope, hope is full of faith!  Faith will eliminate need, all our needs are met in Christ Jesus. The Kingdom of God is not a place, its a government to live by, its love, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.

.Rom 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. You could be in the worst situation, and if you have "Peace" that is huge, peace in your heart, and in your thoughts. When you go to bed at night you  are at rest and have no fear, that is better than a million dollars in the bank! If you have "Joy", the bible says the Joy of the Lord is your strength. Strength to rise up in the morning to face anything that comes at you, if God be for you who can be against- Rom 8:31  What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

A faithful man is found faithful, he won't change with the times! He will say I cant be moved by my circumstances, my God is faithful, he will never leave me, no not ever, 

 1Jn 5:4  For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Faith begins where the will of God is known!   Rom 10:8  But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim). 

Being faithful to God wont come with instructions to understand the situation, it just means you are choosing to believe God in the matter at hand. You can believe and have faith for something before you understand it. If you say I have to understand something before I can accept it- that's not faith, its unbelief. You have a heart problem, its simply a choice to say I am going to believe God in all things. 

If He took what He didn't deserve, what does that mean for us? What did it do for us? All the things we deserved He took in our place- sickness, disease, poverty, death separation  from God for eternity. He has redeemed us from the curse, that is operating in this worlds system. So we can be faithful its a choice to trust Him, no matter what! Even when we are faithless he remains faithful, true to His Word. We are the ones that loose out when we choose not to trust Him. So I encourage you to say yes to be found faithful to Him! God will still love you regardless, it wont unravel your salvation but it will unravel your life.

Luk 16:10  "One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

Don't try to build your house in the storm!

It would be foolish in the natural to build a house in storm, wind blowing at high speed, lightening striking,  its no different in the spiritual! This is a divine order to the believer! Matthew 7:24-27 the wise and foolish builder!(Mat 7:25)  Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit--but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.(Mat 7:26)  "But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach.(Mat 7:27)  When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards."
MSG)

These are the words of Jesus, don't you like how he uses the natural to explain the spiritual? It is so important to pay attention to this scripture, build your house even when things are going good. There are going to be some things to overcome in this life of faith, living by faith is not part time, its full time, day in, day out, faith will take you through!  


Our lives, our words, must be followed with  demonstration.(Act 5:16)  They came from the villages surrounding Jerusalem, throngs of them, bringing the sick and bedeviled. And they all were healed.

Are you of the " Household of Faith"? That's for those who on purpose, cling to the word of God! Believing and trusting on God! In this world  things can spin out of control, if we look at and trust this worlds system, they will fail us, they are not built on the foundations of God. If and when  their is a report, who's report will you believe? 

Joshua and Caleb had the right attitude they choose to believe God! .(Num 13:30)  Caleb interrupted, called for silence before Moses and said, "Let's go up and take the land--now. We can do it."

That is the attitude we should have, the other group of people where looking at all the circumstances!(Num 13:31)  But the others said, "We can't attack those people; they're way stronger than we are."

Do you ever say or think that, and let that be your final decision? Joshua and Caleb were of the house hold of Faith, and so should we be! Don't let others speak into your life with negative reports and then build your house on that .(Num 13:32)  They spread scary rumors among the People of Israel. They said, "We scouted out the land from one end to the other--it's a land that swallows people whole. Everybody we saw was huge.(Num 14:1)  The whole community was in an uproar, wailing all night long.

Have you ever let something effect you like this because of what others have reported or what came against you? Those people never entered that land God wanted to give them, they died in the wilderness because they let what they saw be there out come.  God in his mercy raised Joshua up and told him to take another generation of people through.(Jos 1:5)  All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you.(Jos 1:6)  Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors.(Jos 1:8)  And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed.

Today we have Jesus and he is our ROCK, build your house, which is your thought life on him, Chose to put his words into your life and think on them, believe them on purpose, and declare that you are an over comer!
