He is all powerful! All he says is to pray and believe. I pray everyone would get to the place where they actually believe God. Lots of people say they belong to God and they are children of God but they no more believe in God than the man in the moon.
Did you ever think you are commanded to believe in God? You have to have faith the word of God says so. The word of God tells stories of places where God was there, but there was no faith and no good thing from God was able to happen. No faith, no power of God.
Faith is a free gift from God, by his grace you have faith. It is written. Sister Linda then why are there so many people that run around saying I don't have any faith. Woes is me, woe is me, I have no faith. What's going on? There not believers. They say they are believers in the Lord Jesus but they are not.
The Lord Jesus is just some word to them. They don't know the awesomeness of God. He's words on a paper. Some know all the words on the paper by heart, but they don't know God. They quote scripture, they give chapter and verse, but they bare no good fruit because they don't know or believe in God.
The word of God says you do have faith. It even says a tiny bit of it, faith, works. So if the word of God says, yes you do have faith then what are you going to do with?
I used to sit in bible studies, Sunday night, Thursday night, besides what I studied at home with my Lord. I would always hear the pastor say, you have to have faith. You have to have faith. Faith, you have to have faith. If you don't have faith you are a doubter. Faith, faith, faith.
I felt like if I heard I have to have faith, one more time I'm going to scream out loud right in front of everyone. Faith! I have faith! God says I have faith. See right here it's written God gave me faith. OK Lord what is happening Lord? Why do these bible studies bother me so much? Whats wrong? Why do I feel like screaming Lord?
I did have faith. But the pastor didn't have faith. He was still trying to convince himself that he had to have faith.
I didn't want to just scream out in church at bible study. I do have faith! If I hear faith one more time your going to drive me crazy! Stop saying we have to have faith. Help me Lord!
So instead of screaming out in bible study I said OK I have faith. When are we going to move on and be the power of God on earth? Everyone froze. Looked at me with blank eyes and acted as if I was crazy. I didn't understand why they couldn't hear me. They just stared at me. As is I was some freak or something. And they actually just went on with the bible study as usual. I was like oh my God! This is crazy! This is wrong! Whats happening God! Help me!
You know, now I can laugh when I think about this. But back in the day it really bothered me. Now I can know it was all about baby Christians. They were baby Christians. They had been baby Christians for ever. My teachers were babies and they were leaders of the church. This is not cool God. How am I supposed to get help in learning with baby teachers trying to shove milk down my throat to the point I feel like I'm going to choke and I want to scream? Help me Lord!
Lord how could they be like this? Why don't they feel like I feel Lord? Why won't they grow? What has stumped their growth Lord? Is something wrong with me Lord? How come I see this Lord and they don't? I don't understand. Whats happening? Help me!
I have to get tickled when I think of this. And I have actually been assigned to this same church again. And I am so sorry to say they are still babies and still way behind from where the Lord has wanted them to be. Actually they have gotten even more off track. Ha, ha I know the power of God and I know the power of God will prevail in this situation but sometimes I have to wait much longer than I would like, to watch the power of God.
