Wow!

It’s taken me a few days to get to writing this post as I’ve been mulling a lot over, and I’m certain that God still has much more to teach me with regards to the subject of faith, but today, being filled with the joy of Easter, that my Saviour lives and I am forgiven and that the gates of heaven have been thrown open wide, I feel it is a good day to continue sharing what God’s been revealing to me.

Over the past few days God has really been doing some awesome stuff in my life. As I mentioned before, I’ve been really struggling a lot lately with wanting to see more of the bigger picture of my life, however, through the words of dc talk (see last post), God gave me such peace about not knowing, and he really strengthened my faith in Him. Specifically, I felt him tell me that He has always had a path for me to follow, and I have always had the faith to trust Him to lead me along that path. So after beginning to feel comforted through my renewed faith in God’s plan I put up my last post.

Since then, one of my friends asked me a question about how it is that God show’s me His will which lead into a very enlightening conversation about faith, through which I just totally felt encouraged by both my friend and God. That evening, while praying for some reason beyond me, I prayed that one day I would have “faith that can move mountains” (1 Cor. 13:2).

The next evening, just before heading to bed, the same friend I had been talking to the night before came online and told me that while he had been praying that night, God had given him something for me:

“Faith is like a flashlight, allowing you to see only one step ahead, but greater faith is that which does not watch the path, but looks to the Heavens and trusts the Father to put ground under your feet. What mountains can you climb, without even knowing!”

WOW!!! Totally blew me away! But then Josh, out of nowhere (apparently he’d decided to read the book of James before bed) read James2:14-17 out to me (having no idea about the whole conversation I was currently having with my Dave),
What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

WOW again!!!!! Total God moment!!! God is so Good!

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy ~ 1 Peter 1:8
