Simply Faith!

I love the idea of faith! It's such an uncomplicated word when you take aside all the messed up wisdom of mans own mind.
Faith is the pure unadulterated essence of God himself. He says to us simply believe and you will see his glory in your life.
Yet we complicate things through the restriction of our minds, the things perhaps that we've been taught at school or university, or the stuff that we hear on the box.
Before you know it, a simple statement of fact from God, gets challenged by the contraflow of the spirit of the age, ie : unbelief, doubt, scepticism, atheism.
Faith though, is very simple and clear cut, it just believes with a child like innocence, that what father God says, IS true and WILL come to pass! It's as matter of fact as that.

You see, God talks in facts, facts which although not always apparent immediately, are none the less solid, bankable unshakable facts of truth!
As long as we walk in the simplicity of faith, minus all the junk of unbelief, we move towards the promise on an even footing but as soon as you mix doubt and start to listen to all the words of the present evil age, you start to run into the challenges!
Remember, there's such a thing as 'the proving of your faith!'
That means that it's going to be challenged along the way and that's perfectly normal.
You've been given a great gift, a fabulous treasure from God and the enemy knows it and so his aim is to neutralise your faith. He uses the rational of today's supposed enlightened thinking, to blur the idea of the truth into being just mere superstition but we have not been taught empty words but the reality of the power of God at work in our lives and we understand the truth of that through faith!
There's a great need to stir the fire of faith in our lives! I’m sure we've all heard the saying about where there's no wood, the fire goes out, well I believe this saying also, that where there's no faith, the fire goes out!!
If we're going to stir up the gift of God that is within us, then that takes us to activate faith and to arise up out of sleepy thinking, the negatives we hear, the talk of people who don't know the reality of God, and to kindle a burning desire and passion towards the one who's saved us, called us, chosen us to be his!
Let the very Spirit of the living God who is in us, begin to quicken our faith once again. Simple, pure, unadulterated belief in the power and love of our mighty Heavenly Father and once again we will find the courage and the passion and the empowerment to fulfil the promise of God in our lives, through FAITH!
