YOU DO HAVE FATIH…

When a leader comes to you and says you don’t have faith, can I suggest you picture this scale? Black being those with no faith such as; atheist, Pharisee, and unbelievers. Gray from darker gray to light represent those growing in the faith such as; Christians, Religious structures and leaders in the Church. White representing perfected faith Christians, leaders, mystics, ie. Enoch.

We are in a walk of faith which means none of us has arrived to pearly white. This means we all have some level of a lack of faith or unbelief. With that said don’t lose heart when you hear those awful words, ‘you don’t have faith’ or ‘that is unbelief’. It takes faith every time you talk to GOD. It takes faith to go to church every Sunday. It takes faith to read your bible. It takes faith to tithe. Now granted you are somewhere in that gray range but don’t lose faith thinking you are in the black. I speak to you, “You do have FAITH’ and “Your unbelief is not in the black”.  Don’t get stomped up by well-meaning Christians. I experience this so much I have learned to ignore it but I want to encourage those who go round and round a circle thinking you are in the black. You are not in the black, you are in a walk of faith and as you continue to walk you will get closer and closer to the white.

Words are so powerful they have the power to produce life or death. When someone is ministering to you and speaks something that is hurting your spirit, brush it off and picture this scale. I take authority over the lie the enemy wants me to believe at that moment. I remember some great encounter I have had with the LORD and allow that to carry me. Here is one:

Long testimony short, I am driving my Toyota Camry, 500 miles to family reunion. About two hours into the drive I felt very uncomfortable about my car and started praying. My prayer got intense, and more intense, until I was crying and yelling, yet still driving. I, seen a picture of my wheel coming off. I prayed for the LORD to send an angel to be my rack and pin. The rack and pin is the bar that connects one tire with the other tire. I must have stayed in this intense praying for over an hour. Finally the peace flooded my car and I knew I could stop praying. When I got to my destination, it turns out that my rack and pin and split in two. There was no way possible that I could have made it 500 miles, but GOD.

Now when I have an experience like that and someone tells me I don’t have faith, we have a problem. Or when they say you have unbelief I think then how did that angel come. Because I believe it took faith, my life was on the line and I won by my faith. Now am I denying that in some area I have unbelief, NO! I am just refusing to let it attack my whole person hood and 20 years experiences with GOD. Let me remind you prophetic people can’t see your whole history with GOD, therefore we should never apply anything as whole to our lives.

You may look at my testimony and think she has great faith, but I would bet you would have done the same thing had you been in my shoes. Did you notice that you can have faith in one area and not so much faith in another area? I have some areas I struggle and others I soar. My faith is so important to me because I want to know my faith is real and not some fantasy. I know that it’s impossible to please GOD without faith and my whole desire is to please HIM. I found that GOD is more interested in my faith than my comfort. What HE says is what matters the most, and HE says, YOU DO HAVE FAITH.
