Faithraising Brings Miracles
Looking and seeing doesn't always show us how things work. For example, have you ever stopped to think exactly how a radio works? Well of course through electricity. You hear the music but you don't see the electricity that makes the radio play but you know it works. That's how God works. You don't see him but you know he's there like the wind that blows across your face on a summer's day. Oh well let me not be so poetic. Let's talk about faithraising.

For those who choose to have faith in God he will definitely test your faith. Obeying God and doing what he requires of you is the right thing to do. God's response to you will be one that will eventually reward you. People who have been broken down on life through bad marriages, crime, drugs, you will find have tried to do things on their own. It's all about the me syndrome and give me more. I know I was one of those people.

When someone has given up, perhaps to take their life, that's pretty drastic. The truth of the matter is it happens all the time. In many cases those people that have tried to take their life call out to God for help. It is then that they may give God credit for coming into their life. There are those who give themselves all the self-gratification that don't believe there is any God. Those individual's purpose in life is themselves. That is until one day they are posed the question, what if when I die there is a heaven? And I go in front of God. What then? You can't turn back. But to those who have faith and accept Jesus Christ as their savior, they have something to look forward to. Something beyond our comprehension. So if you're in a tizzy you might think about your heavenly perspective.

In closing, take a look at the people around you and their nature, the stress they're going through, and the depression they may be going through. It doesn't have to be that way folks. And those people who are Christians who have problems and we all do find it just a little easier to handle. Think about it. Where are you now? And where could you be if you placed your faith in God? Not a Rolls Royce, or a big mansion, or individuals which are big stars—for they're only things that can be lost at any moment. Should you find it in your heart to talk about this, log onto newcreationministrieslv.org.

Until then, keep your visions positive and positive people around you and, above all, know that God is there for you.
