If you want to please God, You need faith. If you want God to answer your prayers, receive a miracle, healing, protection from enemies or even a blessing, God does reward those who seek him! - - Have Faith!Hebrews 11:6- And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.What is Faith? Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.All things are possible, healing, being healed, miracles, protection from your enemies, saving your marriage. "All things". Possible for who? - "YOU" Yes you. But first, you have to believe, and unless God has appeared to you personally, in the flesh, your going to need something called "faith". There is an old story about the guy with the long pole, getting ready to walk on a barrel across a tight rope, Fifty stories high from one building to another. He turns to one of the spectators and asks, do you believe I can do this? The spectator replied: "Yes, I do!" The man then said "Good! Get in the barrel!" That's Faith! Here, I hope to point you in the right direction and show you, How to get a miracle, How to be healed, How to save your marriage, overcome your enemies, increase your faith and finally, show you where the barrel is and how to get in. So lets get serious, put on your old sweat suit with the holes in it, crack about 5 or 6 raw eggs in a glass and chug them down, then put on the "Rocky" theme music. It's time to re-train your mind! How do I get Faith? How do I have faith in someone I can't even see or touch?Romans 10:17 -So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.Read about him! Have you ever had a pen Pal in Russia or China or some other great distance away? After corresponding for a period of time, you really get to know that person just by reading their letters. You know what they like, what they don't like, what you have in common etc..Even though you cannot see or touch this person, you may really like them if not love them! It's possible you could even feel heartbroken when you receive the news that one of their children or parents passed away.Marriages have happened through this kind of correspondence, not to mention the internet! It is very much the same way with getting to know Jesus Christ. Read his spoken word!If you want to read what Jesus said directly, in his own words, Look in the first 4 books of the new Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. In allot of Bibles you will find the words spoken by Jesus in "Red Letters", just like on this website. In the rest of the New Testament you will find Jesus quoted often.Think about this. How much better would you know this pen pal, if you could walk into any Christian church every Sunday and have a person on the podium tell you about them and explain them to you. Seeing and touching isn't everything.If you really want to know how to get a miracle, Faith is one of the key ingredients. Don't feel like you have enough Faith?God has already given you faith! Start using it!Romans 12:3- For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.Basically, when "you" were born, you were given the same amount of muscles as Arnold Schwarzenegger when "he" was born. (yes, even you ladies) Depending upon how often you exercised those muscles and your diet, would depend on how muscular you would become.Faith is exactly like that! Once again,Romans 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.Read the word of Christ. If you have a KJV (King James Version) Bible and can't understand it through all the "thou arts" and thee's and thou's, Don't feel alone! Scholars feel at home reading the KJV, Not us ordinary simple folks!Get a bible you can read. Pick up a NIV (New International version) or a "Good News Bible". (recommended) The quotes on this page are from the NASB (New American Standard Bible) Ask most Churches for a Bible in plain English and they will probably give you one for free. THEN READ IT!If you don't already attend a faith based, spirit filled church, find one and attend once or twice a week. Hearing the word of God is called "being fed", and I'm sure even Arnold Schwarzenegger would tell you, your diet is important!God Bless You Dan Douglass GIVE ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO GIVE!
