Got Faith?

Two ministering angels were sent out on a mission.

First angel: "Cindy is really using her faith this time."

Second angel: "Yeah, she just got pumped up in service this morning. That girl is really believing!"

First: "Awww man! She just heard something doubtful..."

Second: "Is she...?"

First: "Yes, she just turned the switch off. We gotta stop. Second: "But we were so close to doing what she needed done."

First: "I know. I can see it, just a little further ahead."

Second: "Can we anyway?"

First: "Nope. You know the rules."

Second: "How long do you think it will be this time?"

First: "I don't know. Last time it took her six months. Oh, wait... she refused to accept the doubting thoughts. She's reaching for the switch. Closer, closer, closer... She did it. Let's go!"

According to Scripture, it was by faith that everything was created that was created. The Lord operates on faith.

Miracle power manifests when we step out in faith like Peter did from the boat, and not before. It will only stay manifested while our "eyes" remain focused on Jesus. When we allow fear and doubt to slip in, the switch will move to the "OFF" position.

If you find yourself sliding into a doubting "jam," just call out for mercy from the Lord.

How long must you stand in faith for a thing? Let me ask you this: Just how much do you really want it?
