The Scripture records that faith comes by hearing. I submit to you that doubt and fear come the same way. Whatever you consistently devote yourself to will manifest when trouble comes.
In Christ; abundant life! John 10:10b

One of the things that hinders our full dependence on God is a gift that He gave us. It’s called freewill. We get to choose what we will do.
When the pressure of life is upon us, it is our enemy’s desire to rob us of the certainty that God can use even our trouble to show us His goodness and bring us to victory!
Sometimes God says no! It’s an answer to prayer we don’t often want to hear, especially if the solution is well within His power to say yes and would benefit us or those we love.
You don’t have to be a particular race, be wealthy, poor, or virtuous. Our Lord treats everyone on the same basis.
Most people have a problem with rejection. Let’s face it; it’s no fun to be rejected! One of the definitions of rejection is “to discard as useless.” No one wants to feel useless! It’s freeing to know that our Lord will never reject us!
The Faith Walk requires absolutes. Saying YES to the promises and plans of God for your life and saying NO to anything that would hinder, delay or remove you from receiving what God has promised.
Though your walk of faith may be difficult, challenging or just plain uncomfortable. If the Lord has spoken, you won’t have to navigate the journey alone.
We are saved by grace but we are changed by choice. We choose to love and serve Him. We choose to obey His commands. We choose to stay out of gray situations and we choose to walk instead in the light of His Word!
“We are saved by grace but we are changed by choice!” We have to make a conscious, deliberate, purposeful decision to allow the Holy Spirit to change us.
