It isn't faith if we hear, if we see.

Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

On a show I watch a member of the clergy went to his higher up and told them that they were having problems believing. Told to pray about it, the clergy member said I do but I can't hear God any more. The higher up told him, if we heard God then it wouldn't be faith.

It wouldn't be faith…

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is also the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not heard, right? 

To have faith means we believe when everything around us shouts at us not to believe.

Every circumstance that can deter us from Christ will happen, make no doubt about it! Around every corner lurks another obstacle to our faith. We cannot let our guard down, and yet we do all the time. We become lackadaisical in our faith not counting on it being tested to the extremes it will be tested.

Faith-believing no matter what!

We have to give an account of ourselves to God, every single one of us. Those who are unbelievers and haters will also have to give an account of themselves. The self-deceiving Christian who lie to themselves about being true followers of Christ, they too will have to give an account. ALL- will have to from the least to the greatest, from the closest to the farthest away stand before God. There will be no running away, no turning our backs, no hiding, we will each stand before God and give an account to Him. If you don't believe it, you don't have to believe it for it to be truth. Many will not believe truth, MOST will not believe truth, but it won't make it any less truthful.

It doesn't matter if the majority of people think the world is flat- it will always be round.

We must have faith before God. In all we do believe of His truth we must be convicted of that truth in His sight. We cannot waffle back and forth in our belief, but rather stand strong before our God.

Please, Lord, please let us hold our faith firm in You! Let us give an account to You in the day we are to stand before You and may they be only words You long to hear from us! We would be Yours!

All by the grace, by the mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
