The living testimony of Faith

As we walk out our days we are a living testimony & witness to the Lord Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the love of the Father...or...we are a living testimony to the opposite... or we exhibit a weak & powerless faith that few could believe in. I don't know about you but I want to be a fiery, compassionate, and everlasting living, breathing, walking testimony to our all powerful & ever present GOD! I have come to understand, in a deeper way, the importance of God working not only in us but through us. We may have some understanding of preaching, teaching, giving, serving, etc. in general terms, but do we have an understanding of living in such a way...so close to the heart of God, that we can't wait to let him use us, and we do see the miraculous happen because we allowed God to speak to us, change us, move us in the direction he desires? This requires real deep & abiding FAITH and it comes only by deliberately connecting with God is such an open way that we give him our permission to do as he will, no matter how silly or strange or foreign it may seem to us. The Lord has been doing a great work of patience in me, and it is transpiring into a work of Faith. At some point most of us require a true breakthrough in Faith-not just a hohum whatever happens I will accept as God's will for my life, but rather a profound unwavering belief that God has done a work in me that has literally changed me, my life, and the circumstances around me. Step out, step out, step out! The time has come to STEP OUT & serve God by allowing him to work through you, not just to "do works" for him. What does the Bible say about that? Faith without works is dead, BUT it is Faith we are saved by, not our works. Ask GOD what he wants you to do-allow him to take you out of your comfort zone-if satan tells you not to...remember, that is a LIE.
