How will you believe?

““Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:27-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Faith is self discovery
     •“Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began
        to call on the name of the Lord.” Genesis‬ ‭4:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •“Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David,
       fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to
       the Messiah.” Matthew‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •We are chosen by the Lord, we are not of this world but of the Lord's
      heritage
     •We must have self respect and self esteem as allowed by the Lord

Faith is to love oneself
     •To love oneself is to respect oneself
     •“Who is like the wise? Who knows the explanation of things? A person’s
        wisdom brightens their face and changes its hard appearance.”
        Ecclesiastes‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬
     •When you are in the Lord in faith and filled with the Holy Spirit, you are your
       most beautiful self

Faith is freedom
      “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” John‬ ‭8:32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Faith is life
      “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should
      always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge
      who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a
      widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice
      against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to
      himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet
      because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so
      that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ ” And the Lord said, “Listen
      to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his
      chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them
      off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when
       the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”” Luke‬ ‭18:1-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

      Will the Son of Man find faith in YOU when He comes? Have faith and be
      confident in the Lord. Trust God to lead you. That it is all by God for God.
      The time of judgement is coming and there will be a time to differentiate
      those with faith vs. those without. Stay focussed on God and be faithful.
      Are you ready?
