“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.”
– 1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)
 Faith is a gift, which means that we can’t create it, we must ask for it. Corrie Ten Boom said, “If you have the faith, God has the power.” That is very true, but even if we don’t have the faith, God still has the power, and there’s no better way to tap into His limitless supply than by humbly requesting more. Once faith is received, it needs to be activated.
First, we can stir it up. Have you ever left a glass of chocolate milk in the refrigerator, only to come back and find it separated? The same thing happens in our spiritual lives when our faith grows dormant—sometimes we have to shake it up to see its fruit. We stir our faith when we purposefully remember God’s goodness, boldly praise His Name, and passionately claim His promises. Then, once we shake it up, we must release it, meaning you put it into action. You release your faith when you stretch out your hand to pray for someone or do something brave that requires you to overcome the fear of man. My friend, with so many souls grappling with hopelessness, our society needs your confident assurance in the goodness of God now more than ever. When you place your trust in the unfailing love of your Savior, your life will offer an alternative to the world’s attempts to find meaning and truth solely in the discoveries of man. As you walk in the power and radiance of the Holy Spirit, His glow will illuminate your life and shine the hope of Jesus on all who are blessed to cross your path. |
Prayer
Jesus, I pray for more faith, and I ask for Your Holy Spirit’s help in activating and releasing it.

To keep our faith today strong, is to keep reading our bible, keep praying and stay focused on what the bible tells us about the ladder days. Because it’s at door, but the end is not till everything mentioned is complete! Then we’ll see our Lord coming in the clouds to redeem us for our belief. Thank you God for your word, to help everyone to know the truth. Amen.
Amen!
*AMEN*.✝️
I BELIEVE ……shaking of our faith requires stretching it. Taking it further than our heads tell us it can go…..doing something for someone that we think will not appreciate it…..going out of our way to answer a request……going beyond what that “inner self” is telling us, to make something happen. And THEN being amazed at the outcome….the impact…..the size of the response or change…..AND quietly realizing within ourselves that God was just waiting to show us the “tip” of the size of the miracles that He can and will bring about.
Outstanding in a personal time of crisis. I think the Lord will bless you richly, cause you’re blessing others
Amen
Shalom alle miteinander,
der Glaube wird nicht geschenkt , diesen bilden wir uns aus vielen Informationen die wir empfangen , sehen oder war nehmen .
Erst wen wir bereitsind uns hinzu geben ins göttliche und für möglich halten das einiges in unserem Glauben nicht stimmig sein könnte beginnt ein 180 Grad Wandel in uns .
Der Glaube ist wie beim Samen das quellen und wen dann der erste Spross zu sehen ist bedeutet das auf uns bezogen die Entfaltung der Gewissheit in uns .
Erfüllte Tage Euch
Niemand der David Heute
