WALK BY FAITH

 

 

 

Dear Friend:

 

I first give honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.  The number one person in my life.  I pray that He is the number one person in your life as well, and that this month’s Words of Wisdom Newsletter finds you fighting the good fight of faith. 

 

Walking and living by faith is easier said than done.  Walking this faith life can be a challenge sometimes.  Our five senses (see, taste, hear, smell and feel) were given to us by God and are necessary to help us function in this life.  Our spiritual walk of faith is not based on our five senses.

 

However, you have to understand that there is a human faith and there is a God kind of faith.  Human faith is based on physical things (the five senses). But, the God-kind of faith believes independently of physical circumstances.

 

In the book of John 20:25(KJV), Thomas refused to believe what he couldn’t see or feel. Let’s see this in scripture now:   25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

 

When you walk and live by faith, it can perceive things that the senses cannot; (Hebrews 11:1)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  But, if you as a born again Christian do not renew your mind by the Word of God to acknowledge the limits of our five senses, they will keep you from believing and walking by faith.

 

We have not seen God or the devil.  We haven’t seen heaven or hell.  Yet, as a Christian, we have to believe that these things exist.  Just like salvation, we must believe for it.   To receive God’s gift of Salvation, we have to receive that salvation with the supernatural, God kind of Faith.

 

Romans 10:17(KJV); 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  As we hear and read the Word of God about Salvation, we activate God’s faith to believe the good news of the gospel and become born again (a new creation) in Christ.

 

When you renew your mind by the Word of God, that God kind of Faith will grow and arise so that we can also believe the promises of God for us in this life, not just when we get to Heaven. (WOW) Words of Wisdom, “The size of your faith determines the size of your God.”

 

We serve a God that has overcome the world. He has overcome everything that will try to keep us from receiving His best for our life.  When you believe the Word of God and walk by faith in the finish work of the cross, that gives God permission to bring His Word to pass in your life. 

 

I trust that this month’s newsletter has been a blessing and encouragement to you to walk by faith and keep on walking by faith day by day.  Mennie and I thank God for you being a vital part of our BTBAB family as we work together lifting up that precious name of Jesus to the poor and underprivileged in our communities, counties and surrounding areas. 

 

Thank you for your love, prayers and support.  May God continue to Bless You To Be A Blessing to others. 

 

In His Will,

Dr. Joseph Morrison, D.Min
