"Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principal of autosuggestion. Refirmation of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith" (1937, Think & Grow Rich, Naopleon Hill).
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, but, without fatih it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to Him must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIm. Therefore do not cast away your confidence (hope), which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise (Hebrew 10:35-36 & 11:1&8, Devotional Bible for Women).
Last night the Women of RealTalk RealWomen attended a fashion show and there was a women of inspiration by the name of Zee. She told her story of when she was little girl how she loved jewerly and fashion and throughout her life the feeling never left but grew stronger. She didn't know how she was going to make her dreams come true but even as a little girl she had faith that God would show her the way. Because of her faith she now has Zee Wear, her own line of fashion and we had the priviledge of buying one of her pieces each, which were all lovely. The point of this story is to encourage anyone who has a dream, seek God, have faith and watch him make your dreams become reality. Yes, it may get rough at times, but speak those things as if they were and do not lose faith but hold on cause your time is just around the corner.
I love this. Faith is as simple as hoping for a better tomorrow. This simple hope allows you to look past your current situation and imagine a glorious day. So while time ushers you into the next phase of your life, you can rest assured that your faith has created a brighter future.
ReplyDeleteI love this too. It lets me know that my thoughts of success all depends on my and how much faith I have. God has already made and kept his promise. But it is always me that loses faith so quickly if I don't see the results I'd like within a certain amount of time. So this just tells me that no matter what keep the faith never give up because God has my back and all I have to do is ask, believe and receive. Believing is faith.
ReplyDeleteyes! love it! and enjoyed your story...success is not based on popularity. It belongs to those who realized that they COULD obtain it and therefore made the decision to believe and go after it. No matter the obstacle you must have faith in knowing that you can obtain what you ask for. James 1:6-7 for let him ask in faith, with NO doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea tossed by the wind. For let no that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord." And not only believe it, but begin to move toward it. For faith without works IS dead. ( you would think we shouldnt have to say that what God has for YOU is for you...but when you stand asking make sure you're not asking for something that belongs to someone else)
