Last week I wrote about us being “doers”, men created in the image of the Ultimate Creator, Father God! We have a job, a purpose and a destiny. We are created for greatness but we need to get to work doing it to make it happen.
Here is the deal.
Often times people (and this includes me), just want to pray about it. Yeah, I did say “just pray about it”.
Well isn’t that all we need to do?
No. We have to do more. We need to really believe that our prayers are answered. We do that by faith. And real faith is more than just believing. Real faith moves into action. Real faith “does” something.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not talking about a salvation by works system. I’m not talking about a good works / bad works scale or anything like that. Our salvation is a gift. We cannot buy it. We cannot earn it. I’m talking about what we are doing with our life, our real life that the God of all creation gave to us from before the foundation of the universe. I’m talking about His plans of greatness for our lives. I’m talking about accomplishing that God-given destiny and seeing those dreams and visions come to fruition in this lifetime! I’m talking about what are part, position, place is in Gods Kingdom plan to advance Heaven on Earth! That’s what I’m talking about!
When you pray, God hears your prayers but He sees your faith! And it is when you are putting that faith into action that His power moves to put His super on your natural!
God moves by your faith, not by your need. Your action proves that you believe He is going to supply. Your doing is what gets His attention.
So stop just praying…
And start doing.
James 2:14-17 nlt
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? 17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
So, what are you doing? Are you believing for something and putting action to what you believe? Or are you just praying about it?
Peace!
