Faith in Action
What is faith in action? Many do not know what that means. You must live what you believe. You have to believe without seeing. It is knowing that God is going to answer your prayer.

The one asking the question is God. He wants to know DO YOU LOVE HIM? If God was standing in front of you today and asked you that question what would your response be? Would He be able to see it?
Who's on your boat? Many believers do not realize that you cannot have everybody on your boat. You need to be careful who you let on your boat. Everybody is not for you, and nobody is going to have your back when things get tough or out of control. So, who is on your boat?
To rise up above your situation requires faith “ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 What are you hoping for? What are you waiting for? What are you expecting to happen? While you are waiting for it to manifest act as if you have it already. Start making preparations for it I don’t see it but I believe it will happen. I don’t understand it but I know it’s going to work out for my good. When will you rise up above your situation? How long will you sit there? How long will you wait for someone to come and rescue you? How long will you feel sorry for yourself? How long will you blame others? When God has already given us the power to rise up. Can you imagine? You are in service and someone you have known for years of being lame and now they are instantly healed. For years of wanting to be healed, years of being rejected, years of not knowing who you are, years of living in confusion, years of living in rebellion, years of not knowing your purpose, you messed up, get over yourself. It’s time out for excuses. God knew it was going to happen, God knows what you were going to do or have done. It’s over; now rise up!
If His eye is on the sparrow, why are we feeling discouraged? Why are we feeling lonely? Why are many of us walking around here saying I don’t know what I will do. How am I going to make it? How can I pay the mortgage? How am I going to pay the bills? How am I going to fix my marriage? What stands out in those statements is “I”. What am “I” going to do? If His eye is on the sparrow, then what are you worried about? His eye is on the sparrow.
You are in the middle of the sea, and the ship that represents your life is being tossed and turned. You are going through a turbulent storm. The storm could be your marriage. The storm could be losing your job. The storm could be financial struggles. The storm could be that child that is not acting right. The storm could be grief, you just lost a loved one. Whatever your storm is, God is saying I got you. Just grab hold of one of the broken pieces. I will pull you safely to shore.

There are times when our back seems to be against the wall in our minds. We don’t have what we need at the moment and it leads to frustration. In order to get what you need, you are going to have to put yourself out there so to speak. It’s up to you to make a move towards what you need. Sometimes you have to take it in order to get it. Wishing for it or hoping someone can read your mind is just wishful thinking. In other words, you are going to have to get yourself out of the way and put yourself out there if that makes sense. We can find ourselves emotionally depleted due to our current circumstances. Due to mismanagement of funds, due to not knowing how to communicate effectively. Due to poor role models. Due to moving before God and now we have made a mess. Due to not having our parents in our lives. Due to choosing the wrong friends. There are many reasons why we don’t have what we want. Whatever your excuse is let’s stop making them and go for what you need.
As Christians, there are times when we fear one another. We are good at quoting Scriptures but when it comes to living them out that is a different story. We fear being seen differently, we fear being talked about, we fear what others think about us, we fear being judged, we fear being ridiculed, and we fear others seeing us as being weak or who we are portraying to be. We should not be afraid of one another. As Children of God, children of the most High God, sisters and brothers in Christ. We are to be rooted and grounded in love. The only one we are to fear is God. We aren’t even supposed to fear God like we do in the natural with terror. We are to have awe Him. A profound reverence and respect for God. “We love Him because He first loved us”, I John 4:19. In order, to get rid of fear we must confront those areas that we have been hiding from. Fear is not our portion. It’s time to expose it and walk in true freedom. Let’s not allow the fear of man to hinder us from walking in the fullness of all who God has for us as His children.
