FAITH IS AN ACT

How easily Satan can trick us into getting things backwards, making us cry out at God in frustration, "What's wrong? Why isn't anything happening?" All the while the problem is in us. One good example involves the power of God being released through you. Are you one like me that sometimes are totally baffled as to why this isn't happening? More than one partner has said, "I don't understand why God isn't using me. I have the faith to work His works, but not the power." There can be a number of reasons, but one of them could be that you've gotten God's order backwards. Remember , "Faith is not a fact, but faith is an act." It is after you express your faith in a step of action that the power flows – not before. Many of you are waiting for the power to come first, before you step out, but it will never come. It is action that releases the power, not sitting home thinking about your faith. I remember the time when I lost both my parents in a very young age. I don't know what will happen to me in the future. There are many questions in my mind, how can I continue my studies etc. I never stop believing to God that he is always there for me but I need to act for that FAITH that I had. I persevere so hard with faith that I will reach my goal and dreams.. As the book of James emphasizes, just saying, "Goodbye. Keep warm. I have faith that God will feed and heal you." does nothing. But when you act on your faith, miracles happen! Then, "...God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. Take a new look at the whole issue of faith and become emboldened. Start acting on the faith you have, and step by step, the power will flow. Take action NOW...

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Ephesians 3:20
