Faith

Faith
There are 336 results for the word Faith in the King James Bible on the Biblegateway.com site.
I personally prefer to use the Complete Jewish Bible because it was translated right from Hebrew to English. The CJB has 237 results for the word faith, and 510 results for the word Trust. The KJB has 188 results for the word Trust.
In the world we live in trusting is becoming a really hard thing to do. Everywhere we look there are examples of reasons not to trust. From personal emotional experiences with family and friends to the greed of corporations and financial institutions that wipe out peoples resources and annihilate their ability to have even the safety of having homes to live in.
Satan is out to destroy the very fabric of human existence. But there is hope and it is our creator who loves us and is standing at the door asking us to take a leap of faith and trust that he will bless us with what we need if we can put him first in our lives and KNOW in our hidden places that we will be taken care of.
Admittedly the first thing you need to do is decide who your provider is.I won’t tell you to choose your creator but his provisions are permanent any other choice will keep you wondering when & how long your blessings will last.
Second you have to absolutely believe, trust and know that you know, that you know those blessings will be at your door when you need them and in the form you need them to be in. Leave the what, how & when to the Creator.
I can’t tell you where in your body you have your feeling of faith & trust, but if you spend some time in a quiet place just quietly mentally scanning your body for conscious knowing & feelings inside yourself you will soon learn where they are. Then you will be able to pay attention to and be aware of how your trust and faith is expressing itself (or not) in your life. Once you can do this you are totally able to direct it intentionally.
Some of you will say you can’t do that even before you try. That is what the disciples did when they tried to cast out demons (doubt is a demon). Yeshua told them
Matthew 17:20Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
20 He said to them, “Because you have such little trust! Yes! I tell you that if you have trust as tiny as a mustard seed, you will be able to say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it will move; indeed, nothing will be impossible for you!”
It only seems impossible because you haven’t learned the procedure to ‘create’ the faith space within yourself and hold the belief of what you put within it.
I want to hear from each of you that read this if it has encouraged you to find your faith place within your body.

Have you ever thought about finding the places in your body that co-ordinate with your feelings or your intentions. Give it a whirl but don't be surprised if it takes some practice especially if you aren't very aware of your inner self.
Peace
