Daily Huddle - Mon Sep 23, 2019 Are You Sure?

Love you all, praying for you.
 
God teaching me recently…  Hebrews 11:1 – Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.  Everyone has faith in something… What is your faith in?  The Solid Rock or sinking sand?  The atheist has faith in the non-existence of God.  The criminal has faith that he won’t be caught.  The prophets of Baal, against Elijah at Mount Carmel had faith in a god who wasn’t real, did not even exist – worthless - a figment of the imagination of those who refused to believe in the One True God.  Faith in the wrong thing leads to destruction.  Faith in untruth is false faith, it’s putting your hope and trust in nothing – vapor.  Put your faith in God.  That He is, that His Word is true, and His promise is sure, that He loves you, that He has good for you, that He will direct your steps if you ask Him, and walk in it.  How can you be sure?  He said so.  Some people have faith in God, but it's weak.  Weak Faith, Weak Result.  The Object is sure, but the faith is weak.  Don't worry about not having any (God said He gives every person the measure of faith they need).  You can be sure God gave you enough, it's just your job to strengthen it, by putting it into use.  Know who He is – that you put your faith in.   The only thing faith-worthy is The One True God and His Word – Jesus Christ, and His Spirit who will stay with you forever.  When your faith is in Him, you can be sure of what you hope for – because what you hope for is Him and what He said – which is faithful and true.  That’s how you can be certain of what you do not see, because the God of the unseen said so!  It’s true, it’s just a matter of time til He appears.  It’s what God commends you for.  The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.  The more you do PRISM the more you know Him – and the more you know Him, the stronger your faith.  The more you do PiVAT – checking in with your Master – your Heavenly Father, the more you obey – the more you obey the more you will see – what was unseen.  He told you, you did it, He moved, and now you see.  PiVAT an PRISM are faith builders!  Your Daily Call is a faith builder!  Out of your mouth – your testimony overcomes and their testimony re-enforces their faith and yours!  You become more and more sure, more and more certain, more and more confident – not in you, but in Him who is in you.  Praying that you will seek His plans, and His Word together with someone daily.  The more you obey, the more you will see, and your faith will grow stronger.  God will get bigger, and others will be blessed through the faith that is increasing in you. 
 
Love you all,
