Ok so before I get into this possible controversy here let me explain the conversation I had with God about this. A month or so ago I was doing what is called carpet time (face down to the ground crying out to Abba Father) begging for my wife to return, as I am pretty sure each one of you has done this. I shouted to the heavens "WHY DONT YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS I BELIEVE YOU CAN FIX MY MARRIAGE I BELIEVE YOU CAN CHANGE MY WIFE'S HEART. AFTER ALL THERE ARE SO MANY STORYS OF YOU DOING SO IN YOUR WORD WHY HASNT ANYTHING CHANGED. I BELEIVE" Then I heard the whisper in my head, I am sure you all know what I am talking about, the whisper that has more knowledge that you could ever think up so you know its not you
. But the whisper said something that at first made no since to me "Yes you believe, but do you have faith?". I sat there face down on the floor with I am sure a dumbfounded look on my face like "Umm What?". Now this isn't the first time I have heard the voice of the Holy Spirit so it wasn't shock that I heard voices or anything it was what the voice said. I would like you all to ponder this before I go on about what steps I had to take to figure this out. Sure You believe, but do you have faith? Well if I believe that means I have faith right? No it doesn't. I had to actually pull out a dictionary which I don't own so thank God for the internet. But here is what I came up with and before I give you the meanings of Faith, Belief and Trust.. (I will explain why trust is in there in a moment.) God gave me this revelation "The only way we believe in faith is threw trust" Ok now lets got to the meanings of the words. Faith is defined as : Having Complete Trust in someone or something without proof, Now there is the trust thing I was talking about. Paul even says in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see". Pretty easy cut and dry understanding on faith, now lets go to belief in the dictionary: An acceptance that a statement is true or something exists, a firmly held opinion or conviction. Now no where in there does it say Trusting right? Ok so now just for fun lets look into trust is : a firm BELIEF in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something, having faith in someone or something, (does that sound like any one we know?) Ok so if you noticed I screamed something in that last sentence not because my cap locks got stuck but well you are reading I am sure you will figure it out. So here we go lets do a little word math (don't worry there is no trains and times or Timmy on the train going to see grandpa). So here we go Trust is in faith and faith is in trust, Belief is not in faith and trust is not in belief however belief is in trust and trust is in faith so the only way we believe in faith is threw trust. I know I was confused a but at first to. God really pushed this on me that night I started reading scriptures to try and disprove this, sure there Matthew 21:22 "if you believe you will receive anything you ask for" however if you go over the equation what is that verse really saying? And what was he talking about just few verse before? Not doubting having faith to move mountains. So you may be asking your self where am I going with this and I don't blame you sometimes I just like to type for ever to get to the point and sometimes I like to create a little suspense, or beat around the bush to see if anyone is still paying attention, but what I am getting at here is what is the biggest most important thing our faith in God is based on? What does God want us to do besides love Him? Well I will give you a second to think about this...................................................... Ok I know you got it what has he said to all of us standing for our marriages? To trust Him. Yes Trust the creator Trust God who not only has been to where you are going but He actually set it up so you can get there. God isn't bound by time He can go to any point in time he wants after all he created time right? So why shouldn't we trust Him he knows where we are going if we listen, He knows what will happen if we don't listen to Him, heck He even knows if we are going to listen to Him. I know I know it sounds like we have no free will when you put it that way but think about it, we do have free will because we can make the choice to trust Him, we can make the choice to follow His path. Look where we are now, I am sure every single one of us can look at our marriage and see where we went wrong, where we didn't listen to God and follow His direction. I know I am to blame for my wife leaving and being in adultery, why? Because I didn't listen to Gods word, I wasn't the spiritual leader I should have been for my family, and that let sin (death) in and sin destroys. Yes God could stop it yes he could have smacked me upside the head and said he you Scott your not listening to Me, but if He did that what would I learn? Would I learn to Trust in Him if He did that, maybe but its a maybe. This trail has brought me closer to God than I could have ever imagined possible. I know our God is real not just because I believe it, but because I have faith in Him I have Trust in Him. I know He loves me because He is here. Like Abraham did when God said he was going to have a son, when he was old and his wife was unfertile Abraham Trusted God in fact it says "He Hoped Against Hope". So here is the point this mini novel is getting at. When the world says its hopeless that your marriage is over don't let that get to you. The world cant do anything for us but case us pain. Listen to God Hope against Hope, and know that there is Nothing (Not a single thing) that our God can not do if we just Trust, have faith not that He can do it but that He will do it. I am sorry for this long post everyone but I could not go to sleep until I posted it, and I have learned that when God presses me to do something I better do it, because you do not know what God has in store for such a little action. God Bless and Good night my Fellow disciples in Christ. Don't worry I will explain disciples and another revelation God gave me another time. :")
