There are cults today who teach hyper faith, that is to name it and claim it, blab it and grab it....placing money and worldly possessions as the basis of their faith. But that is not faith. That is greed and idolatry. So what is faith? True faith? It is lying in a hospital bed dying not knowing if you will draw even the next breath. But knowing in your heart that living or dying you are in the arms of Jesus and are safe from harm. Faith is watching your children rebel, say they hate you, turn from you...but praying for them and knowing that Jesus is in control and His will will be done. True faith is being willing to speak out and share Gods Word with others no matter what our personal cost...even unto death. Faith is believing that our financial situations that bring us impending destruction here on earth are only temporary and God will supply what we need if we seek Him. Faith is shown to others when we have little, but reach out and feed the hungry and share Gods truth with them. Faith is so many things...none of them that are self-centered and arrogant. In order to have true faith, we must accept that the answers to our prayers belong to God alone and may not always be what we want. We know He can heal us, restore our finances, bring our families together. But we also know that His will is to be done, not ours. He has a reason for all He does and that reason is for our good. To show true faith, we must stand even in the midst of great battles shouting praises to our Lord and King. Faith requires trust and humility. It requires being totally dependent on our God. It requires leaving ourselves at the foot of the cross and following Jesus no matter what happens in our lives. It requires total obedience in all things God commands us to do often not knowing the reasons, only knowing He is sovereign. Knowing this, will Jesus find faith on this earth? Very little, my friends. Very little...
