FAITH EXPOSED!

FEAR is our worst enemy. and GOD has not given us the Spirit of fear: but the SPIRIT of; LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE IN THE HOLY GHOST.   ( 2 TIM. 1:7 )   sometimes people can say things that will make us want to curel up in a ball and hide! they'll say things like: "you are too young or old or not educated enough, to do something we feel that GOD has clearly ask us to do. they even go as far as to remind us of past or pesent sin, that they THIK we MAY have done! ( sometimes we say it to ourselves! ) BRO. Natty posted a good script earlier: ( "FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD:" )  with that the apostel paul said: " you show me your faith WITHOUT works; and I'll show you my faith BY my works"!   ( THIS IS WHERE COURAGE COMES IN!!! )   courage is not the ABSENCE of fear. but rather is the CHOISE we MAKE to do what's RIGHT!!!  if we REFRANE from or HIDE something we feel that GOD has ask us to do; then we also REFRANE from or HIDE our FAITH!!!!! ( ouch! that's painful for ME to hear! )   Danial, when threten with ( A FEARFUL  DEATH  ) if he ( PREYED )  preyed ANYWAY. ( read Dan. chap. 6 )   you'll have those that just wants you to STOP and you'll have those that just want to see: ( if GOD is real. )   look at king Darius. when throughing Danial into the lions den; ( because of the two goons that just wanted Danial to STOP; )   told Danial that HE beleaved that GOD could DELIVER him!  ( BUT )  stayed up ALL nite WORRYING: thinking for sure Danial would be eaten. ( no FAITH! )
sometimes we will say things to ( ourselves )like: "they dont wanta ( HEAR or SEE IT ) and will get and will ( get mad, or  HURT US!!! )    Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; when faced with a ( HORIFIC DEATH ) said   our GOD CAN DELIVER us but IF NOT we still WILL NOT BOW!!!   this is call ( BLIND FAITH )          ( Dan. 3:17 )
when GOD told Moses to SPEAK to the children of israel he said; "they will not BELEAVE me or HEAR me: and they will say that  YOU HAVE NOT SENT ME."  ( EX. 4:1 )  by the time we get to ( ex. 7:1-4 ) the ( LORD ) is saying ( IM TELLING YOU HE IS NOT GOING TO LISTEN: )  but I want you to ( TELL HIM ANYWAY!!!!!!!! )       ( i paraphrazed) READ IT!!! )   so WHY would GOD tell someone to DO something that ( WAS NOT GOING TO WORK??? )  keep reading!  because HE wanted to SHOW HIMSELF in POWER:  ( by the FAITH of Moses, with ( PRE ) forgivenss for the UNBELIEF and DOUBT of HIS CHILDREN:  ( LITTLE FAITH! they still went. ) and through THE PRIDE of PHARIOH!!!   who HAD FAITH IN HIMSELF !!!!! ( ex.9:12-17 )          WOW!!!!!!!! read  it. 
how about the hardest ones that people say; ( or WE SAY to OURSELVES: )  like thats IMPOSIBIL; or that has NEVER HAPPENED or BEEN DONE BEFOR?????
WELL; lets take a look a little farther back.
 IN ( Gen. 6:1-14 ) GOD warns Noah that HE was going to FLOOD THE EARTH, and to MAKE AN ARK. ( or boat )   now THE BIBLE calls Noah a PREACHER OF RIGHTOUSNESS.  ( 2 Pet.4- 5       SO, he must have warned other people to REPENT to HELP BUILD THE ARK and to JOIN  HIM.
 now mind you it's ( NEVER RAINED LIKE THIS BEFOR!! )  can you IMAGINE what these people THOUGHT or SAID or maybe even DONE or TRIED TO DO to  or  ABOUT him?????   ( this took GREAT FAITH!!! )   by the time we get to ( Gen. 7:16-24 ) the FLOOD CAME and the UNREPENTANT DIED!!!  everybody wants to SEE PROOF and SURELY we shoul SHOW PROOF if we CAN. ( 1 thess. 5:21 )  the pharisees tempted THE LORD saying SHOW US A SIGN.
( Mat.16:1-4 )    this is called ( UNSERTAIN  FAITH! )  the apostle Paul said; " the just shell LIVE BY FAITH and NOY BY SIGHT!!!  ( 2 corinth.5:5-10 )      JESUS befor going to the cross WHO HAD POWER TO CALL 12 legions of angel said; " noone TAKES my life but I lay it down FREELY!!!!!!!! ( John.10:18 )  then preys Father I know you have the power to remove this cup from Me: but not by MY WILL but by THY WILL!  ( MEAK FAITH )  while ON the cross one of the men next to HIM   ( WHO WAS WORTH OF DEATH ) said REMEMBER ME when you get to your KINGDOM.    ( TRUE  FAITH )    ( luke.23:42 )        while the pharisees ( AFTER EYE WITNESSING MIRACLES )   shouted HE SAVED OTERS HIMSELE HE CANNOT SAVE!!!!!   ( REJECTION OF FAITH )    also read ( Mat 26-27 ).     do we go to CHURCH  and or stick to a sertain groups where we feel comfterable: and shine our little flashlights in each others faces; and then when we go home or out in the world turning them off so no one can see? do we love darkness rather than the light? or are we just afriad if we turn them on we might see the boogie man?  this is  ( TEMPORARY FAITH!!!!! )   OR do we take it out to the ENTIRE WORLD; where it can be seen and shared, seen and RECEIVED???                  SO, my friends  i  close with this:
( mat.5:14-20 )  JESUS said we are the light of the world. and that OUR rightousness should exceed the rightousness of the pharasees or we would NOT make it in.     in ( mat.7:15-20 ) it says a good trees brings forth good fruit; and a bad tree bad fruit:  every tree that bring NOT good fruit is thrown into the fire!!!
  SO,  rather (    little faith, blind faith, self faith, great faith, unsertain faith, meak faith,    or temporary faith )  our true faith seen by the eyes of  others who have no faith.  it is known by are fuits ( works,)   in what we say or do; how we respond to others or exspecialy sercumestances : it is in our actions which makes it a chosen faith.   so i chalenge ALL of US today my BROTHERS and SISTERS what kind of faith will WE CHOSE???  will WE have a HIDEN faith or will WE bring it befor the WHOLE WOLD so that others may see and RECEIVE FAITH???     

        
THEREFOR RATHER WE HAVE PERFECT FAITH OR THE LACK THEREOF  IT IS AN ALREADY REVIELED FAITH .  IT IS TRUE BY THE WORD THAT THE FAITH WE ALL REALY HAVE IS A KNOWN FAITH.    IT IS A FAITH COMPLEATLY EXPOSED!!!!!!!!
