Walking by REAL Faith

2Co 4:18  "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 

Real faith does not just spew words that sound good. Real faith takes action. Real faith loves God, trusts God, and obeys God. When the Lord called me to give up my job search so I could direct Walk by Faith Ministry full-time without a salary as of yet, I had two choices. I could have pursued my job search so I could find a salary to support myself while I moved forward with the ministry. Or, I could choose to love God, trust God, and obey God - and allow Him to support His princess. I chose the latter. Faith moves where the Lord calls and does what He asks, regardless of feelings. Did I feel like taking such a risk and looking like a fool to the world? Of course not. But walking by faith isn't about feelings; it's about faith. The funny thing is, my feelings are starting to line up with my faith. I didn't feel like trusting God with this major decision, but I acted in faith. Some people say faith grows as a result of experience. That's not what the Bible says. Faith comes by hearing God's Word. So as I step out in faith, I stay steadily in His Word. I am learning how not to just speak the words I hear. I am learning how to walk. Do I fall? All the time. But when I fall, I repent, I stand up, and I walk some more. By faith in Him. So how is my job search going? It's not. I am not looking for a job. I already have one. Directing Walk by Faith Ministry is a full-time job. As for my salary, it's up to Him. I'm His Princess, so I know He'll take care of me. By faith, I know. By faith, I act. By faith, I walk. With Him.

Are you talking faith or walking by faith? There is a difference. I know. Dig into God's Word and watch your faith grow. Then, don't merely say the words. Walk by faith. In Him.
