Faith Eyes
By Kim Childress
Come, let us reason together,
Speak the truth,
In love.
What is faith?
Believing in the Super-Natural
The perception, the mindset,
The overflow into our actions,
What we teach our children,
All things are possible.
God is with you.
God is with us.
God is with Me!
He speaks to me!
My faith eyes have been opened.
I hear His voice.
Psychosis? Neurosis?
I say, when you open your heart and mind to what is possible,
You Will Hear the Voice of God.
Go to the source.
The Word.
Faith comes from hearing the Word of God,
Seek, and a whole new world will be opened unto you.
As we question and rage and rail against God.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Perhaps so we may bless the lives of others.
One other.
Where we are.
When we are Now.
In this present, this moment.
Entrusting all to the Lord,
Can you do it?
Can you fathom it?
Can you take that leap of faith and cry out,
“If you are there God, be with me?
And I will live for you,
As you would want me to,
The best I can do?”
May I everyday consider
And entrust my words and works to God.
My knowledge is little,
But I have seen Kingdom Living
With Faith Eyes.
The Kingdom of the Super Natural
Will be Opened to Your Eyes.
Gideon had disbelief, but God still blessed him.
God blesses us even during our disbelief.
“Surely, I shall be with you,” the angel said to Gideon.
“You are a mighty warrior, and you are going to defeat the enemies of the Lord.”
And Gideon said, “Show me a sign.”
In that moment, Gideon opened his heart,
Gideon offered himself.
He gave what he had to give.
God gave Gideon what he needed to give
In that moment.
Perspective changes when something releases.
God knows the needs of our hearts even before we do.
Gideon sowed a seed,
And his ears opened to the angel speaking.
All the fears being faced in that moment,
Gideon let go,
He sacrificed his fears, gave them to God,
And in that moment God spoke,
“I am with you. You shall not die today.”
What can we let go of
To take one step forward?
Consider, “Lord, what is it you want of me?”
And may you come to know the miraculous Super Natural,
May you come to know the peace that is the LOVE of God.
God is love.
Jesus is the ultimate love.
Consider such things,
Ponder,
Wonder on them,
Go to the source, read the Word.
Find your own path.
Each spiritual journey is only one.
We all have a story.
A calling.
As believers, we are Called.
View life through the view of faith, not fear.
Defining Moment For You Right Now.
Cast off all that is old.
Seek the truth.
May you come to know and experience the Holy Spirit that connects us ALL.
God is with you.
Jesus is real.
God’s promises are true.
With God for you,
All Things Are Possible.
Who Can Be Against?
Faith Eyes.
