“Ten Guidelines From GOD” Part
6 of 10
6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up
here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what
I'm doing. Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue
to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust
Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems
as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust
be?
The LORD says to trust in Him and not in man.
Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in
the LORD than to trust in man. I take that to heart and
this is also the very center of the Bible.
Faith is used 256 times in the
NIV Bible in one form or another. It is a very clear image
that God wants us to put our faith in Him. Interesting note here, faith is
only used 15 times in the Old Testament and not a single Psalm uses the word
“faith” in it. As I read through these I notice that
Matthew and Romans use it the most. In Matthew Jesus speaks
of faith as being something we humans have very little of and faith heals.
A lack of faith gets us nowhere and the faith of a mustard seed moves
mountains. You are healed according to your faith and you
get nothing because you have a lack of faith.
Matthew
9:22
Jesus turned and saw her. "Take
heart, daughter,"
he said, "your faith
has healed you."
And the woman was healed from that moment.
Matthew
13:58
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Matthew
15:28
Then Jesus answered, "Woman,
you have great faith! Your request is granted."
And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Matthew
16:8
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You
of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no
bread?
Matthew
21:21
Jesus replied, "I
tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can
you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain,
'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
PRaP all the above scriptures
and look at them in their intended context so that you will get the full
understanding of God’s plan for faith.

knocks, the door will be opened."
