WTLB~~~NEW—Faith believes that God can do what He says He can do

Faith believes. Those two words put together say it all. Where it becomes complicated is when we begin to doubt or question what it is we are supposed to believe in. Even God tells us in His Word that we need to test the spirits to make sure that we are following and listening to the right one. The Right One being our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Reading through the Bible we find it full of promises of the things God says He will and can do. Our part is to have the kind of faith in Him that believes wholeheartedly that He is more than capable of doing these things.

It's important that we know in our hearts the Bible is not a suggestion box but one full of true, guaranteed to come true statements simply because God says so. We don’t need Him to “cross His heart,” “swear on a stack of Bibles,” or anything else to try and convince us that He means what He says. Faith believes. God says it, so be it. Read your Bible daily, keep it as your main source, and never wonder away from the truths in it.

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
