faith
Whats good fam im just jumpin back in the blogesphere to shoot my 2 cents about something ive been meditating on lately. While cutting the grass the other day i felt like i got a word from the Lord concerning "faith". Alot of times he speaks to me when im zoned out so it was no great suprise as i was in robot mode that he decided this would be a good time to download some needed info to me. The convorsation , albeit one sided started with the Lord pointin out to me that i needed to "exercise" my faith , to which i replied "yes lord i get it, i do need to exercise my faith, i get it". Well ..his response really got my attention when i heard him say , no you really dont! .."get it" which lead me to ask , as he knew i would, "well then what do u mean". The Lord preceded to advice me that my faith is just like the strength that lays dormant in my muscles. Just as at birth we all have a measure of strength no matter how small , even an infant has a "measure" of strength he has also given us a "measure" of faith. The problem is we'll work out our physical bodies to become stronger or in better condition while our,shall we say "faith" muscles lay dormant, and in a time of need we look to summon them at will and wonder why we fall short at times of that ability to move mountains in the time of need or maintane under the pressures aka weight of life. Ever waitin for that quick adrenaline shot(aka the HolySpirit) to assist us in having that wonder working power that will inable us to overcome whatever obstacles or thing we are believing for. Its been often said that in a time of chrysis a sudden rush of Adrenalin can infuse the physical bodywith enough power to do the extraordinary, the Lord pointed out to me that wheather we realize it or not thats how we approach our faith life. Never realizing that, thats a hit or miss method. The Lord advised me that we should be looking for opportunities to put our faith to the proverbial "test" in this way we are stretching and strengthening it. Got a headache ???stretch your faith..speak to it and command it to leave...need a better job...go put in applications at places u would like to work and "beleive that u can have that job".....footnote faith without works is dead just like sayin your on a diet but never actually changing your eating habits is futile, find scriptures that support your faith(these are like your multivitamins)... true "faith" is something u go forward and act upon ...The Lord expressed to me that we should constantly be seeking things to apply our faith to no matter how small or trivial like cross training to hit different muscles groups and force them to grow because by doin so , the activation of our faith will become "second nature" and when needed, because we have built up our faith muscles we can say to whatever mountain we face "BE THOU REMOVED AND CAST INTO THE SEA" and it will be done! Jesus is a excellent example of a "faith -work- out -junkie", he even stunted and withered a fig tree on the drop of a dime cause he was hungry and the tree hadn't produced fruit...now if that aint goin hard i dont know what is LOL...so lets hit the gym and get built up "in our most holy faith" -Holla!
