So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ.
You have probably heard the expression, leap of faith. Have you ever considered what that simple expression really means? The big problem with that old saying is that many people use it to explain what they did in all sorts of different situations. They don't really understand that it does not refer to taking a chance on something..
2 Corinthians 5 :7 says, for we walk by faith not by sight. This verse tells believers that they need to see situations through spiritual eyes in order to please God, and to be successful. The first thing many people say is how do you do that? The answer is simple for a believer.
The Holy Spirit is our connection to God. Father God, or the Lord Jesus tell the Holy Spirit about what each person is supposed to do. The Holy Spirit then tells each of us what God expects from us. You must have your spiritual ears open to hear the Word of the Holy Spirit. The best way to do that is to read the Word of God.
At this point, there are a few things for us to realize and consider. God would not tell us to do something that He was not totally ready to stand behind. The Holy Spirit then tells us in a way we can understand. The Holy Spirit gives us discernment, so we can pick out His message from all the false messages of satan.
When we get the message, our brain tells us it is the will of God, and the Holy Spirit is with us to help us in any way we need Him. All of this is useless if we don't step out and do. When we step out in faith, we are praising God, because our actions are showing that we trust Him to do according to His Word. The other thing is when we do what we are led by the Holy Spirit to do, we reflect Jesus' light to all who come in contact with us.
Stepping out in faith is something most believing Christians do when they believe the Holy Spirit tells them the Will of God in a particular situation. Sometimes you may not even be thinking about it, but the Holy Spirit directs your actions according to God's Word. When you take a leap of faith, you are following God’s plan for your life.. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
