How do we get Faith?
(Thanks Geoff)
God spoke severely to me on an early Sunday morning walk.
"Carol, you are lacking in faith. I can do so many great things through you, but until you have faith, I cannot do this".
He then reminded me of Moses and how his impatience etc made him strike that rock. Because of this, he did not miss out on an eternity with God, but he did miss out some of the wonderful possibilities God had prepared for him on this earth.
He said, I am missing out of many things which he desires to do with me.
I found myself praying rather desperately, "Lord, how do I get this faith? Please help me."
He told me to keep close to Him daily, no matter what.
He then told me something a little amazing!
He told me He will gift this faith to me in a special way. He said we can get faith in two ways.... gifted from Him or a growth through prayer and experiences.
He said the growth way is very good and normal. But if we pray for faith with a heart of absolutely truth, then He can gift it.
OK, so I don 't know more than this at this point, but I will keep you posted:)
Meanwhile since then, I know I have prayed with all my heart for this faith.
