FAITH
Here we are after training #3 in Richmond. What a fun couple of days. No crazy travel stories to talk about, no delays, no issues, our team arrived safely and made it home quietly. We are certain we rode in and out on some prayers, so thank you to those who pray for us continuously without fail.
Our time these last 2 days in Richmond were such a blessing to David, Gary, Ben and myself. Our team has come to terms with the travel, the long days and the sometimes sleepless, or off schedule nights. And people say all the time, “we just don’t know how you do it?” Well it’s simple really. It’s all God. He does it…we just have to have FAITH.
And it’s clear that those who gathered together yesterday and today have FAITH. And together we clung to the FAITH that the Lord will give strength, will lead our steps, will make a way, will teach us, exhort us and unite us as the body of Christ. It’s interesting to see how even the disciples needed to be encouraged in their FAITH.
In Mark 11:22 – 26 Peter brings to Jesus’ attention the fact that the fig tree he cursed withered away and Jesus responded with these words: “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be grated to him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.”
Because of your (that’s you RICHMOND) FAITH, the Lord showed up, everyday people, who have been called by Jesus, claimed His power and moved mountains Friday and Saturday in Richmond. You shifted the atmosphere and pushed back the darkness.
FAITH saw a partially blind man healed, it saw 3 salvations, it addressed demons, it prayed with dozens of people, it planted many seeds, it invited people to church, it connected believers to reviveRICHMOND and in return each person involved tapped into increased FAITH.
And afterall that’s all we are after, urging believers to learn how to share their FAITH (the Truth). “For by grace we are saved, through FAITH and this is not from yourselves; it is a gift from God- not from works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Praising God for each of you, thanks for increasing my FAITH!
