WHERE IS YOU FAITH.. O ye of little faith,
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
KJV
Oil was discovered on some Oklahoma property belonging to an elderly Indian. All his life he had been poverty stricken, just eking out a living.
But the discovery of oil had suddenly made him a very wealthy man.
The first thing he bought was a very big Cadillac.
He wanted the longest car in the county, so he added four spare tires on the trunk. He would dress up in his new clothes and everyday he would take his Cadillac into the hot dusty little town nearby.
He wanted to see everyone and he wanted everyone to see him.
He was a friendly old soul so when he was riding through town he would turn in all directions to wave at all the people as he rolled by.
Interesting enough, he never ran into anybody nor into anything.
The reason for this was that directly in front of that big beautiful auto was two horses harnessed to it and pulling it.
There was nothing wrong with the car's engine. It was because the old Indian had never learned to drive it. He had never learned how to insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it on.
Under the hood was 100 plus horsepower ready and willing and raring to go, but the old Indian was content to use the two horsepower hooked to the front of the car.
The devil gets really happy (or as happy as a devil can get) when he can keep the believer chugging along in their Christian life on a two horse power faith level.
At that rate, the spiritual progress is slowed down to a crawl, and this is what the devil is after in his warfare with us.
In short, if your faith is not growing, it's definitely shrinking and the devil would like to keep it that way.
Now is the time to bring your faith to a HIGHER level.
Make a commitment to yourself...
...starting today you'll begin to live God’s best for you as you experience his goodness in the land of the living..
This simple habit of hearing and hearing the word of God, meditating can move you up to the next level of faith.
So take a bold step now and... Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
O Lord, make me recognize that good thing that is imminent in Jesus name.
