Faith that changes lives

Faith that changes lives.
Sometimes we feel that our faith is going out. We are about to lose a battle.
Faith is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
David was continuously hounded by his enemies. Even when he was anointed to set the throne, but Saul (the old king) was still there.
What did he say, then? Check please on Psalm 4:3, 4:8, and when he was hidden in the cave. Psalms 57:1
S. Felix of Nola was running way from his enemy and ended up in a cave. While there, a spider began to weave a web across the small opening, sealing it off and making it look like nobody had been inside for months. As a result, his enemy didn’t check inside. When he stepped out he declared: “_ Where God is, a spider web is a wall.”
People or circumstance can disappoint you or me, but if Jesus is with us, how can we lose? Romans 8:37.
When Job lost all his properties, his children, his house … what did he do?
“He fell on the ground and worshipped God. Job 1:20
He decided to trust God. He knew God would see him in the middle of all his problems and would rescue him. Job 23:10
He knew what to do: keep going on God’s ways.
God Himself will fight for us. II Chronicles 20:17. We have to keep still and wait.
When we walk by faith we try God’s provision. Remember Elijah being supported by the ravens and then by a widow? I Kings 17:4. He had faith to that widow that she wouldn’t die if she trusted the Lord.
And she trusted, she became free of death and the famine would kill her and her son.
What about us? Paul said in Ephesian 3:12. We go beyond by faith. In the verse 16 it’s written that the Holy Spirit would strengthen us and be complete.
When people have faith they have their lives changed:
• Noah was a farmer and became the best ship engineer builder.
• Abram a childless businessman with no hope to have his own heir and tried to save his neck n by lying and compromising his wife safety became the father of a big nation.
• Raab was a prostitute and she was saved then included on the Israelite’s generation. She became the mother of David.
• The great men of the Bible were human just like us. They believed and God could use them to change entire generations.
He will do the same with us if we simply believe. Hebrews 11:33-34
