Faith to Believe
Wednesday night service was excellent. Pastor taught about faith and how we need it to grow as disciples.“As a disciple, faith is an important tool to help us become closer to God because we need to depend on Him and our faith in Him shows our dependence on Him.”
It was powerful. I needed that lesson because God knows I don’t have a lot of faith, especially when it comes to not seeing things. If I can see a way that it will get done, then I can believe, but other than that, I don’t have much faith. I am working on it.
“Now, you don’t want to ask God to teach you to have faith unless you are ready for a test that will test your faith more than ever before.”
I am glad that pastor said that because I was thinking about asking God to teach me faith. I won’t do that now.
At the end of service, pastor asked us to write our name and one thing that we were believing God for on a piece of paper and put it in a prayer box that was going to be kept on the altar. The church corporately prayed over the box and pastor told us to believe that our prayer would be answered. When the prayer request is answered, we are supposed to write on a piece of paper that our prayer was answered and place it in a different box that is on the altar. On the last Wednesday of October 2006, we are going to open the prayer answered box and read the answered prayer requests.
Pastor said that we could put a new prayer request in the box after the previous prayer request had been answered. This is going to be interesting.
Here’s what I wrote…
Lord, I want to go to Caffco University after I graduate this year. I am going to need the grades and the money to get in.
I believe God.
