MATTHEW 6:25-34...
Straight away, we see that IF we SEEK the KINGDOM of *GOD*, and, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, FIRST, PRIMARILY, and, with all our hearts, then, ALL of our needs shall be provided for! So, you see, it, again, begins with THE LAW, the LAW OF LOVE; LOVE of *GOD* OVER all else!!!
IF you TRULY believe in *GOD*, HIS WAYS, HIS LOVE, and, HIS WILL, you KNOW that HE has YOUR best interests in motion! HE IS going to care for you, for you ARE one of HIS Children, one of HIS Chosen, one of HIS Heirs! It is like FAITH BEGINS with the CONNECTION of LOVE which comes from HIM above, then, FLOURISHES, as the FAITHFUL BUILD upon that FAITH, while GATHERING the BLESSINGS poured down from the HEAVENS BECAUSE of their FAITH!!!
So many people LOSE FAITH because they do not understand that it takes CONSTANT effort, and, reinforcement, as well as PATIENCE, and, ENDURANCE, and, UNDERSTANDING that HIS TIME is not our time!!!
FAITH does not come easy, as we are of the world, and, until we let GO of the world, FAITH might exist, but, cannot be honed perfectly! The world does not provide for us, *GOD* DOES! When you learn to really, really embrace this TRUTH, FAITH begins to awaken, then, before you know it, it is swelling up in you, greater than any emotion you have ever experienced, next to LOVE!!!
It IS ongoing that FAITH becomes burnished like gold! And, the effort should NEVER stop! For, when it slows, pauses, hesitates, or, falters, the principalities of the world are right there, making jokes about what FAITH has not proven this far; then, you have to start all over again, IF, you still believe!!!
Why do we have so much FAITH in self, others, animals, and, the world? All of these things are powerless, except in delusion! All of these things are temporal, gone with the WILL of *GOD*! WHY IS it so difficult to place TRUE, unfaltering FAITH in *GOD*, when HE, ALONE, CAN do, SHALL do, and, with HIM, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, nor, IMPROBABLE???
People often say to me that they wish they had as much FAITH as do I! Well, do you think it came easily? In part, yes, but, it takes LOTS of deliberate effort to make it blossom as it should! It takes unshakable BELIEF in *GOD*, and, HIS LOVE, and, HIS wish that HIS Children ARE provided for! It takes not considering what is of the world greater than what HE might provide for me! You see, lots of people fail here, as they think that maybe *GOD* doesn't have good taste, and, will provide for them less than what is socially acceptable, or, popular, and so, they falter, and, truth is, they ARE bound to the world big time!!!
I JUST BELIEVE IN THE POWERS OF *GOD*, my FATHER! HE has been there to rescue me from many things, build me up when all HOPE was gone, and, to bring me to my senses, concerning life, in the now, and, in the hereafter! HE HAS SHOWN ME THAT MY FAITH IS WORTHWHILE PLACED UPON HIM, and, nothing else!!!
People, *GOD'S* WILL SHALL BE DONE! It matters little if you believe it or, not, it shall be done! There is NOTHING permanent in life, save for *GOD*! There is nothing with TRUE POWER, save for *GOD*! HIS POWER quickly eradicates all false powers we are up against, or, believe in! HE IS ALL THERE IS! HE will live on eternally, along with HIS CHOSEN, all else will be placed under CHRIST JESUS' feet, as HIS footstool, and, all powers, principalities, and, all else, will cease to exist! SO, HOW CAN you NOT have FAITH in *GOD*???
Many of you believe that it always works out! This is a part of FAITH, but, IF IT IS NOT empowered by, or, of *GOD*, it is vain! TRUE FAITH KNOWS THAT *GOD* IS the SOLE PROVISION, and, PROVIDER for ALL in EXISTENCE! Many of you confuse miracles with FAITH! FAITH can render miracles, IF it IS HIS WILL, but, not always do OUR wishes have any bearing on FAITH, because FAITH is NOT about self-gratification, instead, it is about a BELIEF based on LOVE, a LOVE for *GOD*, which is so strong that it TRUSTS HIM to DO HIS WILL! You see, we have to be mature in the ways we LOVE *GOD*, in the ways we TRUST HIM, in the ways we approach HIM, and, in our expectations of HIM, although, seriously, I wonder just how much expectation we SHOULD have, instead, we should ACCEPT that ALL that occurs in our FAITHFULNESS IS HIS WILL, and, then, be grateful, thankful, PRAISEFUL, and, rejoiceful that HE DID provide for us, according TO HIS WILL!!!
To have FAITH is to TRUST in *GOD*, with ALL of your being, then, to turn to the tasks of the day, BELIEVING that HE HAS your back, in ALL ways! It cannot be half-hearted, although, in the beginning of learning FAITH, this will be the case, but, for those who KNOW better, it should be whole-hearted ingrained into the entire makeup of your being! Practice FAITH daily! Like anything else, as you practice it, it becomes more, and, more, a part of you, and then, you are on your way to being TRULY FAITHFUL, and, receiving HIS BLESSINGS, and, HIS favour for your genuine TRUST, BELIEF, and, efforts!!! AMEN!!!
