Don't mortgage your faith!

Hebrew 10:35 Cast not away therefor your confidence, which hath
great recompense of reward.

A close study of this would show that the subject of this verse is
confidence and what to not do to with it, because it is valuable.
What if you don't think you have any confidence some may say?
Now I will beg to differ with you on that. The reason is that all
of us have some level of confidence whether we classify it as a
lot or a very small amount. Try to imagine it in quantity.
Regardless of the size don't throw away what you have but value
it for it will pay you back one day. Especially when it is in God.
No matter what your problem is right now reach for confidence in
him and he will help you to the very end.
Don't mortgage your faith but say "it is not for sale."

Lord Heal My Backslidings…

Jeremiah 3:22 is a conversation between God and Jeremiah in which God tells Jeremiah to say to His people, “Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.” This raises the following questions. How do you heal what is not physical? Also, why is it spoken of in such a way? No doubt, the spiritual and the physical align side by side, just as the natural aligns with the spiritual.

In this thought (Jer. 3:22) the promise is so sure, as well as inviting, until the only thing to do is to be honest enough to admit that you need it. Once you acknowledge this need, you should come, ask and receive this healing. When you come, remember the rest of this verse: “Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God. Come and be healed from your backslidings.”

Believe for the Incredible!!!!

John 20:27 states, “Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.”

Believability is at the heart of trusting in God for the miraculous. What is impossible to man is possible to God. Believe God even when things seem incredible or incredulous, but remember God can do anything.

Let’s analyze the meaning of the words “incredible” and “incredulous.” Incredible means “unbelievable” or “not convincing” and can be applied to a situation, a statement, a policy, or a threat to a person. Incredulous means “disinclined to believe, skeptical.” It is the opposite of credulous, which means that one is gullible, willing to believe or trust without adequate evidence, and is usually applied to a person’s attitude.

However, Jesus told Thomas to reach his finger and punch into the places where He was punctured, but even when he did it, he was to apply faith, believing, because it was still possible to doubt that it was Him. The thought of how incredulous it was for Him to rise from the dead could have caused Thomas to doubt, even as he reached his hand into Jesus’ side, because
he had seen him die on the cross.

What you see as real can also have that kind of effect on you, so stretch out your faith and believe in the incredible God we serve, for he is believable and able to do anything.
