Faith – A Short Film

How many people do you know that truly live by faith? Do you live by faith? Watch this short video based on the Bible verse: “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. Faith works and just shall live by faith.

Faith A Short Film

People often think they are walking by faith but if they are then this means that no matter what they may see or feel in the natural, that will not change what they say, nor how they live their lives. Jesus Himself declared here in Matthew chapter 6 that we are not to worry about everyday life. This is an indicator of whether we are walking by faith or whether we are walking by sight. Worry and faith cannot coexist. The word “worry” means to be anxious or troubled with cares. This is the result of focusing on what is happening in the natural. When you walk by faith there will be no worry in your life.Darryl Baker

All About Faith Series: A Leper’s Leap of Faith

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

8 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Matthew 8 New King James Version (NKJV)

the thankful leper

Do we have a faith like this man who has been isolated to many people because of his very serious skin disease?  He must have heard about what Jesus has been doing.  He must have been in the background because lepers don’t mix with people in huge gatherings during those times. Having heard and from out of nowhere,  he came forward and worshiped Jesus! He recognized and had faith in the authority and divine power of Jesus over his personal situation.

True enough. Jesus was moved with compassion.  Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing!” As soon as Jesus had spoken, immediately the leprosy left the man, and he was cleansed.

Are we willing for Jesus to speak into our current situation? Do we trust in His authority and divine power to turn our situations around? Have we asked Him the way the leper approached Jesus?

Those who by faith apply to Christ for mercy and grace, may be sure that he is freely willing to give them the mercy and grace they thus seek. And those afflictions are blessed that bring us to know Christ, and cause us to seek help and salvation from him. Let those who are cleansed from their spiritual leprosy, go to Christ’s ministers and open their case, that they may advise, comfort, and pray for them.” –  Matthew Henry

All About Faith Series: Part 3 You Will Be Established

Believe in the Lord your God

2 Chronicles 20:20-30

New King James Version (NKJV)

20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

“Praise the Lord,
For His mercy endures forever.”

22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.

25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies,and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much. 26 And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the Lord; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day. 27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. 28 So they came to Jerusalem, with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets, to the house of the Lord. 29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30 Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

What a revelation. God has promised this:  Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” This I consider as one of the success formula in our modern times. Praise the Lord, His mercy endures forever.

Is there anything hard for God to do? In the accounts above, God did the extraordinary. He caused the enemies to fight with each other while Jehoshaphat’s army while they were busy praising the Lord! The power of praise at work.  What seemed to be a huge problem for Jehosaphat’s tribe altogether disappeared as they focused themselves on praising God. This tells us that no matter what are circumstances are;  no matter how big our problems is; or no matter how complicated were are into, we should not forget to praise our Lord. Let us turn our eyes on God for He is fighting our battles.

All About Faith Series: Part 2 The Persistent Faith of Hannah

broken and contrite spirit1 Samuel 1:7-20 New King James Version (NKJV)

7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.

8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

9 So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle[a] of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”

12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”

15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 “Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman,[b] for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”

17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.”

18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. 20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel,[c] saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”

How do we press on to God?  Hannah poured out her soul before God. She petitioned God consistently and persistently and got the attention of God. Out of her brokenness, she cried out to God. A Sacrifice that was pleasing before the eyes of the Lord.

Can we have faith like Hannah? Of course we can. Here’s the clue. In Psalms 51:17 it says : “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”  The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18.

The next time we pray, let us P.U.S.H.. (Pray Until Something Happens).
