Feed your faith and it will all be within reach

^“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray...” James 5:13 (N.I.V)

The book of James is traditionally attributed to James, the brother of Jesus, also called James the Just or James the righteous because of his outstanding virtue. After the Lord had appeared to him, James, who previously did not believe in the message of Christ, developed a lot of faith and oft acted on his conviction in the power of prayer. It is said that James prayed so much on his knees that they became roughened like those of a camel. Be like James: feed your faith and starve your doubts and all will be possible. If you are in difficulty, ask the Lord in faith, ask people of faith to pray with you, ask church elders to come pray with you, for the prayer of the righteous is powerful. When you ask of the Lord, healing for your trouble comes down and is pulled to complete its work by your faith. It is pushed back by your doubts.

Jesus asked the blind beggar,” What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see," he replied. Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you. Luke 18:41-42. What do you want Jesus to do for you? He heals the body. He heals the mind. He gives you his peace of salvation: restoration of fellowship with him. Jesus also said to the woman who had bled for twelve years after she had touched the hem of his garment, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luke 8:48. Believe, repent of your sins, ask in faith and you will receive.

When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. – Patrick Overton.
