Where Does Faith Come From?

What a great start to another great week!! 

This week I want to talk about where FAITH comes from. How do we come in connect with FAITH. Who we get it from. 

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evident of things not seen ~Hebrews 11:1~

Just to give you some meaning:

Faith- Complete trust or confidence in something or someone.

Faith comes from the Greek word Pistis meaning trust, reliance, good faith and belief. 

Now where do faith come from? Faith comes from wanting something greater for oneself, faith comes from trials and tribulations, faith comes from hearing the Word of God. In the bible you can see many different stories about Faith and how they had use their faith to see the blessings and miracles that God had in store for them. 

One was the story of the Women with the issue of blood. She had to build her faith and believe if she pushed her way through the crowd and just touch the hem of His garment she would be healed.. It was her Faith that healed her. 

Or when God used Satan to test Job... Everything was taken from Job.. God wanted to see if Job would still be faithful in his struggle. Through all that Job went through he had faith in God and never blamed him. 

Most importantly Jesus had faith in His Fathers plan when he was crucified... Jesus could of said naw bro I ain't going out like that but he believed in the Fathers plan. 

So as you can see Faith comes from many different situations. I encourage you this week to pull out your bibles (physical or on the phone) and find you a scripture or story about faith and really study on it. This is how you will build your faith... this is where your testimony will start to come in. This is where your story will start to unfold. I believe will all have to exercise our faith at some point in our lives, but are we? Don't allow your current situation to determine your future. God knows what we need but He wants us to show Him that we trust him.

Well that's it that all this week y'all. Go in Faith and know it will all work out!!
