FAITH FRIDAY'S - BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

FAITH FRIDAY'S


Ephesians 2: 8-10 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Hebrews 11: 3 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Do you have Faith?
Do you really, really have Faith?
What are you hoping for?
Are you hoping for a house, new car, marriage, children, new assignment (job)?
Are you looking at the economy? Are you focusing on the recession?
Are you thinking about the act that you haven't been on a date in who knows when?
Are you buying into the hype that the more education you have as an African American woman the less likely you are to get married?
Or the fact that you are over 35?

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen! So stop trying to figure out in the natural what God and Jesus have already completed in the spiritual. By grace through faith you have been saved, there is no amount of work that you could do that would qualify you for anything that you have. You were qualified and justified when Jesus died on the cross.

What you can do is exercise your Faith and go forth with a spirit of expectancy as you are a co-heir with Christ. That means everything that Christ has you also have you just have to have the FAITH, CLAIM IT AND POSSESS IT! How do you do that? Focus on God, meditate on His Word and speak His Word only daily and apply it to your life, be a doer of the Word!

Be a blessing and be blessed,
