Encouragement from Ben #9 – You will bear fruit. BUT ONLY in FAITH

Hey friend!

Today's Topic: You will bear fruit. BUT ONLY in FAITH.

Another week ahead. The question is, what will you make of it? Will you choose to get in faith or will you coward down to the thoughts of the enemy and walk in fear?

The promise of scripture states that as long as you abide in Jesus you WILL bear fruit. But you want to know what the main key is to that? Faith. We are in a fight of faith. You know that nothing gets established in our lives without faith? Faith is the gunpowder that when mixed with the word of God causes the promise to explode into our life!

How did I get this analogy? Simple by the grace of God. Something clicked in me not too long back where I realized the meaning of WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. Call something that doesn't exist into existence. Stand on it. Jesus clearly said "If you say to this mountain be removed and cast into the sea, and does not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, will have whatever he says..." Read that enough and your perspective changes. What if God is waiting, looking down from Heaven, looking to see someone who He can strongly support. Someone that is in faith, pulling from a realm unseen, casting down every vain imagination that exalts itself against the Lord Jesus and standing till HE comes through for them?! You know that is actually a verse in the Bible: 2 Chronicles 16:9!

Oh have faith my friend! God is going to do great things in your life, if you just believe! As always, I pray for you, that your faith would strengthen and that you would bear much fruit in Jesus' name! Whenever the waves get high, and the storm gets dark, remember to look up and see your redeemer is sitting at the right hand of the Father. Oh, how He knows everything about you, your situation, your needs, your desires. Don't let the trials and the pain cause your faith to waver.

"...the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." — James 1:2–4

I hope this encourages you!
