Faith That Changes The Atmosphere!!!!

Last night I sat down at the table I was tired but God was calling me to dive into the word. I sat I prayed I asked God where was he directing me to what scriptures was he calling me to look at what topic was he calling me to search.... I paused and waited in silence , and its as if the flood gates opened up. He pulled me close to the topic of (Faith) and scriptures that discuss it. I couldn't stop flipping from one to the other. He was speaking loud and clear, Faith is a topic that is talked about both in the Old Testament & New Testament, But the Holy Spirit took my hands and started to flip through the New Testament. I was blown away how God gave me a word in this case (FAITH) and it started to jump off the pages of the Bible.  Here are a few scriptures dealing with Faith so that you can read through them .

Biblical Definition
 Faith is the assurance that God’s promises will never fail, even if sometimes we do not experience their fulfillment in our mortal existence. Hebrews 11 underscores the fact that we trust God to fulfill his promises for the future (the unseen) based on what he has already fulfilled in the past. Thus, our faith is not blind, but based squarely on God’s proven faithfulness. (From The CRI equip.org)

Wikipedia Definition
Faith is confidence or trust in a person (as in their ability), thing, deity, in the doctrines or teachings of a religion, or view (e.g. having strong political faith) even withoutempirical evidence. It can also be belief that is not based on proof,^[1] or as confidence based upon varying degrees of evidential warrant. The word faith is often used as a conceptual synonym for hope,^[2] trust,^[3] belief^[4] or knowledge.^{[5] (Wikipedia Definition)} 

After reading through scriptures and only really scratching the surface of what God reveals to us about Faith in the Bible. He gave me a few words that were what we call Divine Downloads from Heaven. Here are a few I would like to share.

*When you see difficult, look at from the perspective of God is shaping and molding me into something beautiful,Step into FAITH with a PASSION that changes the atmosphere, Live your life like a warrior that sees the battle ahead and runs straight for it knowing that your God will get you through it !!! Breakthrough!!!! We are more than conquerors!!!!

Another word I had written in my Journal was a word of worship which on a certain level our worship dictates where our faith is. It said this

*Worship is forgetting about what's wrong with you  and remembering what's right with God . It's like hitting the refresh button on your computer. It restores the joy of your salvation,It re calibrates your spirit, It renews your mind. And it enables you to find something good to praise God about even when everything seems to be going wrong.

So in ending I hope that when you read this you will dive into the scriptures given, that your faith will strengthen, That your light will brighten that the chains that have had you bound will be broken and that a fresh cool wind will wash over you , And when it washes over you Pappa will give you a clear word and that it will be the sweetest of words. My soul purpose for sharing this is my passion for Jesus Christ and that others may come closer to Him not through what I've written but through the scriptures and His Word.

Bethel Music has a song off their (Tides Album) called "Be Still" this is exactly what I experienced last night. My Heavenly Father calmed my soul, My soul listened , And my soul was refreshed. Many Blessings to you and may Jesus refresh your soul, And may He give you "Faith That Changes The Atmosphere"!!!

Your Testimony & Boldness

Well tonight was yet another amazing Bible Study!!! I spoke on sharing your testimony and how important that is in your walk with Jesus. Towards the end God was asking me to call on one of the guys to pray... I opened it up for one of them to pray, No takers ... I paused I explained another gift from God is prayer , I said just close your eyes and imagine that it's a conversation between you and God, "We Aren't Here" .. I said be bold !!! No more than 2 seconds after I said that,The man jumps up from His seat and begins praying for how thankful he is for the day for the people that were at Bible Study , And specifically prayed for each of us !!! What a joy to witness this !!!

Early they asked me how many angels there are in Heaven , I answered more than you can imagine. I said because of your boldness tonight they and all of heaven are rejoicing!!! There was a fire in his eyes that is really hard to explain He was filled with Joy it was if The Holy Spirit came straight down from Heaven and gave him Boldness in his walk. They come to this Bible Study, and they said tonight they are hungry for more they want more Jesus in their life. I can't really put into words how much I'm thankful for the path that God has put me on, to see a fire in just a few people means so much!!

I think it's important to mention that they are giving me a fire that I've never experienced as well. I won't ever claim to know everything about the Bible they are teaching me just as much. My passion to see these men know Jesus more is indescribable. As we walk together each week studying scripture it's my prayer that they would continue to grow closer to God and be a witness to the community as well .

We gather together in a church without walls looking at God's beautiful creation I really can't think of a better way to have a Bible Study, It's truly a blessing. May the Lord continue to bless those that are attending and may the blessings overflow to those looking on from a distance as well, Lord may our Hunger for you be so attractive that it causes a spark that starts a fire that can't be put out!!!! To God Be The Glory For the Great things he has done ,doing, and going to do !!!

(The importance of turning off your schedule and joining somebody else in theirs.)

Last night I had the great opportunity of just turning my phone off and my computer God was calling me to sit and watch the kids play soccer in front of the house. 2 became 4 and 4 became a crowd. What a joy just to laugh and show love to these kids and teens. So back to my title of this post. (The importance of turning off your schedule and joining somebody in theirs). When we do this not only are we clearing our mind of self but we are essentially letting this person know that we value them, and we love them. Everyone has time to at least spend 15 minutes in somebody else's schedule . So today my challenge to you is this. Ask yourself in what way can I value Someone's schedule. Show Love Be Love, Be Jesus. Blessings
