Trials Of Faith

1 Peter 1:7, that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Today I would like to tell you about some of the trials of faith that most people have experienced in their lives and will probably go through again. I will tell you about these because I experienced it I’m sure you will too.

Let’s start with feeling the presence of the Lord in your life. Most of the time you don’t have any type of overwhelming feeling. You do, however, generally have total peace in your heart and mind that you really can’t explain. Fear or being afraid has no place in your life. Choose to believe the Lord is with you always because He said He would be.

Trust is another thing that comes up constantly in daily life. A problem comes up and the first reaction is normally do something about it. Most of the time when we try to take care of anything ourselves it doesn’t do much good, and as a matter of fact a lot of times it gets worse. The normal thing is when you get in trouble deep enough, you’ll call on the Lord and He helps. We all know we should call on him first, but we don’t always do the smart thing when we get in a jam because we panic.

Another trust issue involves things like the desires of your heart. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the Lord puts desires in our heart based on His plan. Being human is not an excuse even though you are. You must make up your mind that you trust and believe and really try no matter what happens and how bad it looks. Don’t ever trust yourself alone. If you are working on a solution the Lord backs off and lets you do it. If you want Him to work in your life, you must step back out of the picture. This may not sound too hard to do, then the issue of patience comes up. God’s timing is perfect and ours isn’t, so sometimes it’s pretty hard when we have to praise the Lord and wait rather than just think we can do it ourselves.

Prayer is something we need to do regularly. Prayer is kind of amazing because you could be praying about one thing and the Lord puts something else in your mind that turns out to be more important than what you’ve been thinking about. Don’t let prayer scare you off. That is one of satan’s tricks.

Real prayer, including when we are told to pray always is just a matter of talking to our Father in Heaven. When Jesus was on this earth, He talked to people, they talked to Him and things got done. The Lord Jesus Christ never turned away a sincere person. He always helped with love and compassion. It is no different now. Talk to our Father Almighty God In The Name Of The Lord Jesus Christ and you will see your life change. God Bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

A Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and by your blood my sins were washed away. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen!

Praise The Lord!
