Exercise Your Faith

The Epistle of James teaches us that putting our faith into action is essential for spiritual growth and maturity. Genuine faith produces authentic action, which produces fruits of The Holy Spirit. Faith without action is dead! It's like the old saying, "use it or lose it."

Exercise your faith in prayer. Pray with confidence, gratitude and without ceasing! Remember the measure of His love for His precious children...His love never fails and He desires the best for you, according to His Will! It is an act of faith even to pray and then another to do it with confidence.

Walk it out with patience and obedience. Trust Him! Sometimes His answer is to act by simply being still. Talk it over with Him and get into The Word. He does mighty things with a willing heart! HE IS the Ultimate Authority, Teacher and Counselor, and He alone holds the solution to every problem!

And in His Perfect love, He promises to bless our faith in Him!

Friends, I pray with all my heart that, if you haven't already, you will invite Jesus into your heart and allow God's transformation and restoration in your life. Experience the true love story! There is so much Grace that abounds in His love and He is waiting with open arms!

Father God, I praise You for Who You are and how You have given us a way to simply be in Your Holy Presence. Thank You, Father, for Your guidance and for providing us with ways to increase our faith and show our love for You. There is no place I would rather be than at Your Holy Throne, praising Your Holy Name. Thank you today and every day for the evidence of Your Perfect Love in my life. 
All in Jesus Christ's Holy and Righteous Name...Amen!
