According to Your Faith

God's ability to bring His will to pass in your life is determined by your faith in Him and in His Word.

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa, and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
--- 2 Chronicles 20:20

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Faith is the ability to believe what is unseen. And sometimes radical faith involves the total belief in God while the reality seems impossible for us. That's FAITH. In faith, we believe in Him, believe His ways which will always be there for us. (-fon-)

No More Affect

If we are trusting God instead of living in fear, we won't be devastated by rejection. Even when it comes, we'll hardly be affected by it at all.

Those who trust in, lean on, and confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides and stands fast forever.
--- Psalm 125:1

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Rejection is painful. It might hurt someone deeply. But with God, the rejection might be painful for a while, then we realize that God has a more beautiful plan for us. It might come next month, next 3 months, or next year, but the most important thing is: He got our bigger picture of life in His Hands. Nothing to worry at all.

Effective Intercession

Not only can you and I speak the Word of God over our own lives, but we can be effective intercessor by speaking and praying the Word of God over the lives of others.

But the centurion replied to Him, Lord, I am not worthy or fit to have You come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my servant boy will be cured.
--- Matthew 8:8

My own reflection on this Thought:
* We need to get out of our self-centered attitude and try to pray for others. It's helpful as well as powerful. Sometimes when we're facing a very serious problem, we need other people's prayers too. So, why don't we make it as a habit! Have you prayed for others today? (-fon-)
