Faith is a powerful force

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.  "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he say will happen, it will be done for him.'"  (Mark 11:22,23).   Faith believes, speaks, and acts.  Faith can create or destroy.  Faith can release life, healing, forgiveness, mercy, and great possibilities. Faith is unshakable confidence for a positive outcome.  Faith is a force that can move mountains and destroy giants.  Faith is powerful because your faith can also be applied for others with great results.   On Wednesday, July 24, 2002, nine miners were trapped inside the Quecreek Mine near Somerset, Pennsylvania.  It was said that they were trapped for "77 hours of hell", twenty-four stories underground.  The news reporters thought they were all dead and that the continued rescue operation was only to encourage the families.    The rescue team however, in spite of setbacks, never gave up hope and would not stop trying, never doubting for one moment that they would rescue their fellow workers. They refused to think or speak negative. What a triumphant celebration when all nine men were rescued and again saw the light of day.    You are powerful if you have faith.  Send a miracle and receive a miracle today.    Kingdom Declaration: My faith is powerful. Today I will send a miracle and receive a miracle. @Dr Pat Francis @chayil$

Triple Blessing from God

"To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord." (1 Timothy 1:2).   Paul expresses his love and commitment to Timothy, his true son in the faith. Faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity and its believers are blessed with the grace, mercy and peace of God.   1) Grace. Grace is favor, benevolence, kindness, and prosperity. It describes the approval of God for all those who place their trust in Him as God their Father and Christ Jesus their Savior. The hymn Amazing Grace is probably one of the best known hymns in the world today and was written by a repentance ex-slave trader. 2) Mercy.  Mercy means pardon, forgiveness, and compassion towards an offender.  Fr. Jack McArdle tells a story about God's forgiveness: "Imagine when you die and Jesus comes to meet you and shows you a video of your entire life. On the video you see all the good things you did. But there are also a number of blanks on the tape. You ask why there are such blanks on the tape of your life. Jesus tells you these were the times when you sinned and asked for God's mercy." When God forgives he completely blanks out our sins and does not remember them anymore.   3) Peace. Peace is the consequence that comes from grace and mercy at work in our lives.  Peace with God comes when we ask God to forgive us from our sins.  The Peace of God comes because our conscience is clear of all guilt, shame, and fear.   Your have triple blessing from God.  Rejoice and be glad as God's banner over you is love.   Kingdom Declaration: God's grace, mercy, and peace is my triple blessing from God that makes me blessed and highly favored.

Impossibilities are possible

"When He had gone indoors, the blind men came to Him, and He asked them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?'  'Yes, Lord,' they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you,' and their sight was restored."  (Matthew 9:28-30).   The blind men had a need that required a miracle.  When the need in your life is not ordinary, you need God.  Being blind from birth, you would think that grown men would have given up and saw themselves blind for life. But these men lived with an attitude of hope knowing that with each day comes new opportunities for blessing.    Oddly enough, Jesus placed the responsibility and results of the miracle on them; 'According to your faith will it be done to you.'  They had to ask believing that Jesus would heal them. God's responsibility was to perform the miracle according to their faith.    Heaven with all its glory is waiting to release miracles to hearts with faith. Whether you are believing for yourself or for others, faith is the key to draw miracles from the Kingdom of God. "What is impossible with men is possible with God." (Luke 18:27). "Everything is possible for him who believes." (Mark 9:23).    Kingdom Declaration: I am believing for great miracles to give God great glory as a witness of His glory.
