THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MASK Activate your faith

Do you ever feel like it’s always something? The kids acting up, your marriage needs more work, financially you’re strapped, the people on your job is giving you trouble, or you just can’t seem to catch a break? We all come to that point in life at times but that’s when we should activate our faith. How do I activate my faith you ask? Well, first you pick your self up from the pity party and the why me attitude. Then you pray, seek, and pray some more. You get into God’s Word and recite the scriptures back to him. The Bible tells us his word will not return void!!! Believe in what you speak, teach and preach about. Don’t waver in your trust in God. His word tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding; but in all our ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct our paths. Trust is a must. When we trust, we trust with all our heart and believe, expect, God to come through. We can’t try to figure it out but acknowledge God in every situation. God will guide us to our perfect place of peace. God will provide to us all we need. The last six years has been a test of my faith. I have had sickness, financial struggles, loss, doubt, fear, anger, and the list goes on and on. My faith has been tested over and over again. I have messed up and failed a few tests. However, we serve a God of many chances. Thank you Lord! He is faithful to forgive us even when we can’t forgive ourselves. When we read the Bible we see God’s chosen ones falling and making mistakes over and over again. Look at David. He committed murder and adultery but God still chose him to be King. Noah was a drunk but God still chose him to build an Ark and saved his family from the flood. Look at Peter. He denied Jesus. BUT still God chose him to build His church! No matter our hang ups and mess ups. We have to press toward the mark of the high calling in Jesus Christ. No regrets. No looking back. Dust yourself off get up and move! Nothing happens unless you move!!! Activate means “to make something active or operative”. Activate your faith by believing the word of God. Activate your faith is trusting God for the outcome when life circumstances doesn’t add up. Activating your faith is putting God first. Believe He will give seed to the sower and open a window to pour you out blessings you don’t have room enough to receive. Keep your head up. It may look impossible but all things are possible with God! Don’t let the enemy distract you. Meditate and pray daily. Show God you can be faithful when things are up or down. God said we, his children, will not be put to shame. Obey God no matter what. Trust and obey. Your breakthrough will come. Your healing will be manifested. Your marriage will be heaven on earth. Your children will be alright. Your life will be a life God promised. I am in a place in life where I must trust God! I’m activating in a level faith that will elevate me to another level in God. Crazy faith is believing God even when reality says you are done. I declare and decree everything we stand in need of shall come to pass. All the seeds you have sown whether financially or physically; you will reap a harvest. Faith without works is dead. So activate faith by praying, going to church, working to build God’s Kingdom, live your life according to His word and watch God lead you to greener pastures. You haven’t lived your best life yet!!! It’s harvest time! Keep the faith!

About This Blog

You might think it’s strange or weird to see a person walking around with a mask on.  In my blog I will explain why this mask is necessary for survival.  I spent years wondering why smells would literally stop me from breathing.  I had no idea what had taken over my body like in a episode of twilight zone.
