1 | Faith | James 1:2 | NightJay0044 | 159952 | ||
Okay, I understand about not testing God, but how about testing your self, I mean in life in general? I don't really get faith. Faith is beleiving something that's not there right? Well how is it that, I try to tell my self I can do this or that, and ask my self can you see yourself doing that and I image it in my head and say I can, but nothing happens of what I expected. My question is, how does faith really work, they say you can move mountains with it, but has anybody ever moved a mountain with it or anything for that matter? Basically just how can I simply use faith for my self, not testing God but for me? |

Hi NightJay, One must have faith in God, not one's own faith. Faith is trust, belief, a knowing that you know. For example, you need finances to pay your rent. You don't know how you are going to get it, but you know the Bible says God will take care of you and knows what your needs are, so you have faith in God that he will take care of you. That peace down in your spirit that tells you everything will work out o.k. proves you have faith. If you have fear, you don't have faith because you really aren't trusting God to take of you. This principle applies to everything in life. You have peace, are resting in the promises of God...you have faith. You are worried, afraid, can't sleep, etc....you do not have faith. As for moving a mountain or anything else...it doesn't always happen how we envision, so sometimes we don't recognize that it has happened. One person I know needed to have a part of a mountain moved so they could build a building in a certain place. They starting praying this promise about moving mountains and after a few months a road was putin, in that area and the section of mountain was removed. I would say that was an answer to this prayer/promise. The key is to keep your peace and let God lead you and answer your prayers and meet your needs his way. I recommend doing a word study on faith, so you can see how others in the Bible exercised faith and received from God. Then you can learn from those examples. Also, speak to fellow Christians who have faith for encouragement and further insight in how to walk in faith. Hope this helps, Bows44 |
