Hello Leod,

You know sometimes we think that we don't have enough faith. The more it is for us to rely on God's faith. My pastor recently expounded on faith and he offered some new revelation.

He believes that [Mark 11:22]
"Have faith in God" should actually read "Have faith of God", because he says that in the Greek construction of the words it really meant source – faith of God, faith from God.

I'm not too much into study of the Greek or Hebrew words but I do believe in a way that where our faith is lacking, Jesus' faith and faithfulness will pull us through. If we continue to yield to Him, which I believe you are, He will see us through.

[Psalms 37:23-24]
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

Even when I have slipped, God has assured me that He was there all the way. He was still in control. He can turn things out for good for me even when I fumble. And whatever has happened in the past, don't despise it but treat it as a stepping stone in your character building. Learn from it and continue to yield to God and He will cause us to grow from glory to glory. Yield to God and things will become easier. Spend time with Him in worship and praise and He will exchange your strength with His strength.

Father in Heaven,

I lift up leod to You and I pray that You will strengthen him and encourage him. I pray that he will know that You are still in control and that ALL things will work together for good for him. I pray that You continue to guide him and cause him to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's guidance. Open the right doors for him and close the doors that are not meant for him. Send him the right friends to encourage him.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Leod, a man is influenced by the company he keeps. Find good godly company as you will need all the positive encouragement to live your life right. Go to a caring, word-believing church and surround yourself with caring people.
