FAITH BRINGS UNREALITY TO EXISTENCE

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

 Sir,

They say ‘life goes on’ and one thing that keeps life moving forward is faith. We apply faith in our daily lives; without faith maybe we could have failed many times or even given up just before we reach the end of a race.


Faith is the grasping of the unreality and brings it into existence. I used to say faith is foolishness because we believed in things that have not happened.


Out of that foolishness it is where one gets encouragement and strength to withstand challenges. Usually faith goes with stubbornness, though I cannot directly say it is stubbornness. Even if there are opposing situations, faith acts as an engine driving a person to the end results that he/she desires. It has the ability to make one press on and not give up.


In my understanding, faith is not just the act of being stubborn but it is associated with a strong vision.
When the tunnel is dark, faith shows you the light at the end; seeing a positive outcome in a negative situation. I’m not saying you won’t ever have doubts, get scared, or hit the panic button and try doing things your way.


Faith


We all do that and because God made us and knows us intimately, He expects it to happen; just like we expect our children to mess up now and then. If the faith you have is genuine, you need to apply it to all aspects of your life.
Sometimes we do not see signs of better results but with faith, we believe it will come to fruition.


A person with faith has no reason to give up. People usually misinterpret faith. Faith can be activated with actions; I hope you are getting this point.
Faith without action is ineffective; sometimes it requires us to act and have the faith within us of getting better results. You cannot cut a tree while folding your arms and say through faith it will happen. That would be a miracle. But if you take a step and cut the tree physically, faith begins to work.


Faith has the ability to encourage a person to overcome obstacles that come his/her way. Even when things go bad in our lives, through faith we can say all is well.
By the time we declare that all is well, the power of spoken words begins to operate. Let’s remember that there is a certain power that God put in our mouths.


Sometimes we speak things and declare them before they become a reality. With faith, complemented by the power of spoken words all we declare comes true. Remember everything that exists comes from spoken word. Let it be your principle to have faith daily.
