Scared faith people by Elaine Davenport (Thursday, August 30, 2007)

It is impossible to be in faith and in fear all the time.  That’s as bad as saying light and darkness can occupy the same space at the same time.  Yeah right.

Hebrews 11:1 (King James Version)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

* DON”T LET ANYONE FOOL YOU…IF YOU NEED HEALING; FAITH WILL HELP IMMENSELY!

Some years ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I didn’t know how to be helpless, I had worked all my life. Along the way; I had met people who seemed to wrapped up in their medical challenges. They memorized every single term the doctor said and a chat with them was like talking to a doctor. It seemed like as they were hit with affliction after affliction; they just helplessly accepted it in the language. Nobody was mad and no one declared that they weren’t having it. Unfortunately, I guess it had a negative impact on me. I decided to become a victim of sorts. People began to rally to my side. It was going great. I was expecting them to have faith for me. I realized that they didn’t have any. I decided to rely on God solely and not on man.

I use this Blog to be honest. I talk that way too. I think about things from many perspectives. I’ve gotten into trouble many times by being candid about my feelings. People misunderstand and think I’m not in faith. I am, but people are at different faith levels in their lives. At that time, I was at a different level, but what I had, I gave to God and He met me there and healed me.

Faith is a way of believing to me. Fear is a way of believing. Doubt is a way of believing. I choose faith! Faith is also an action or an act. Faith is an act for me of putting my trust in God that His word is sure. When I put my trust in God, I am technically trusting Him to resolve my problem. I believe He can do it, I’m firm about it, I have confidence about it and my not being able to see it doesn’t matter.
