"Faith Lifestyle"

Hello All

We had a great Wednesday Night Bible study last night, I'm teaching a series on Faith Lifestyle... (James in the Bible) I talked about How due to a lack of “Faith lifestyle” (not a lack on Faith but a lack of “Faith lifestyle”) we become rollercoaster Christians… Up one day and bottomed out the next. It’s only a “Faith Lifestyle” that can stop this cycle. We have too many believers on this cycle and when their on the Mountain top it’s great but when they hit the valleys of life they fall apart. It’s the “Faith Lifestyle” that teaches us that “Location doesn’t matter!!!” David said, “If I make my bed in hell You are with me…” he also said, “I can walk through the valley of the shadow of death and You are with me…”

I believe God wants to take His people to a place of “Faith lifestyle.” Let me explain; Christian Faith is; believing in God and knowing Jesus is the Son of God etc… all of that is great but a “Lifestyle of Faith” teaches us; that the same Faith that “Knowing God is God,” is the same Faith that will get us through those long and hard times and days…

We can have Faith in end times and Faith in Heaven but can we have Faith that we know that God will make me have a great day TODAY regardless of circumstances… TODAY regardless of conditions… TODAY regardless of situations… That’s a “Faith lifestyle.” It’s more than just pretending to be Holy or Spiritual Deep, it’s more than just speaking out Faith words or verses, It’s more than just blogging some thoughts and trying to convince everyone that you’re a Faith person, Its more than carrying your Bible around or wearing Christian clothing or jewelry. …

It’s Living Day by Day by Faith - Faith that God will take you places each and every day - Faith that God will show you Great things each and every day – Faith that God will not only get you through but Faith that He will walk you from the beginning to end and even during the hard times you will have a Peace and a Joy that surpasses any and all understanding..

It’s that “Faith lifestyle” that the early Church walked in, it’s that “Faith lifestyle” that the Disciples and Apostles walked in… And it’s that “Faith lifestyle” that will take us to a realm where we will see Great things from God’s kingdom including signs, wonders, and miracles… the choice is ours, we can live the way we’ve been living and receive the same results or we can make a change in 2009 and choose to make our Lifestyle a “Faith lifestyle.”
