THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH



Let’s start out by talking about faith.  Without faith it’s impossible to please God.  Jesus constantly told people that they were healed because of their faith.  So what does it feel like when you’re walking in faith?  How do you know you’re standing in faith?  How do we do that?  Well, let’s first talk about things we have faith in even when we don’t realize it.  The biggest thing that people do is to make reservations and then walk onto a Boeing jet.  Those things are as heavy as a house and the laws of gravity say that it shouldn’t go into the air.  Yet, we get on and don’t give a second, or third thought about it.  We firmly place our faith in the pilot, the jet, and the mechanics that get the thing running.  If our parents tell us they’re coming to visit, we just prepare for them.  That’s faith.  It’s the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.   Faith is powerful.  It activates miracles.  Jesus is the power source.  Faith is the plug.  A lamp has the ability to light up, but without a power source, nothing happens.  Once a lamp is plugged into the socket-or power source, it activates.  You have to get plugged in so that your lamp can be lit. 
     When you have faith in God you have confidence.  You will feel secure and safe.   A sure sign that you are walking in faith is when someone becomes negative about a promise that God has given you and you aren’t shaken and can easily say.  I’m trusting in God.  My blessing is here.   

     There will always be nay -sayers, doubters, and negative Nellies, but you should never be one.  Faith activates miracles.  It gets the attention of Almighty God.  “It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. “  How do we get it?  It comes from hearing the Word of God.  Get to know Him.  Get faith.  Be empowered.
