No Faith? Know Faith? Which Is It?

Mark 4:40

And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

Why are you afraid?  Do you still have no faith?

I've read these verses many times but sometimes I need to read them over and over and over again for it to sink into my head.  These are promises from God.  The Bible says we don't have because we don't ask.  But then, there are those times we ask but we don't have enough faith to let God work!!  I have seen God work in the lives of people that had NO faith but someone, somewhere HAD faith.

In the Bible there are stories of people that were not even followers of Christ but because they knew OF HIM and what HE had done, they came to HIM, they had faith HE could heal them or their loved ones and HE DID!

I'm always saying if I ever ask for prayer and you can't look past the circumstances and pray "with faith", "believing" then, not to be rude, but please don't bother.  People always tell me, "well, we need to pray God's will."  I'm NOT disputing that however, nothing in the Word of God says that God ever ever intended for us to be sick!!  Nothing in God's Word tells me that God ever intended for us to be servants to sickness, sin, poverty, etc.  So if I'm praying for you for complete healing, I'm asking God to restore your body to the way HE created it, "in His image".  I'm asking God to work a miracle in your life that will give HIM honor and glory.  And then.... I'm thanking HIM for your healing or the answer to your prayer because I BELIEVE, I know faith.

HIS Word tells us that HE will provide our needs, that means HE does not expect us to do without.  By HIS stripes we are healed, meaning HE took our pain and sickness and sin on HIMSELF.  

Pray believing.  Claim ALL God's promises, not just a few or some but ALL.

No faith or know faith?  Which is it for you?  I choose to know faith because I know my God, the God that I serve CANNOT and WILL NOT lie.

God bless.
