Walking in Faith

 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen... By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." Hebrews 11: 1, 3

"So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8: 8

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8: 11

When I finished working at this school, I noticed I was getting a sore throat and feeling like I was getting a cold. I reminded myself that I am whole in Christ.

In the middle of the night, I woke up with the sore throat again and prayed. I then went back to sleep

When I woke up in the morning although I wasn't experiencing any more sore throat, I still didn't feel well. I texted my agency to tell them that I was taking the day off.

I then noticed my gum was swollen. I used to have pain around that tooth which I've prayed about and it's been healed.  I now noticed the gum around that tooth was swollen and sore.

I reminded myself that Jesus has already healed me of all diseases included what appears to be gum infection. By His stripes I am healed. (Isaiah 53: 5) I noticed every time I felt the area with my tongue, the worse it felt. The gum and teeth were now painful and that part of my face was also swollen.

I reminded myself that I have the Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead living inside of me and this Spirit is giving life to my mortal body. (Romans 8: 11)

I then had the thought to stop looking to what my physical senses were telling me. My teeth and gums are already healed and I receive it by faith.

I noticed the swelling was now going down. By this morning the swelling had gone down and my tooth was no longer hurting.

I believe when I focus on what my senses tell me, I get more of the same. However, when I have faith in the evidence that my senses cannot discern, the invisible reality will come through and become my physical experience.

God, I know that disease does not come from you. Thank you, Father God, for not only healing me, but using this opportunity to teach me how to walk in faith.

I live in Christ.
I am whole in Christ. Amen! ❤️

What is My Function?

At this expo I was working at, I was helping visitors print out their badges with the scanning machine. Whenever I or anyone got close to the scanning machine, it would automatically scan the barcode on their badge and print out another badge. I found  it quite hilarious. 😄 I had to either hide my lanyard badge inside my jacket or try not to stand close to the machine. It got me thinking about functions. The function of the scanning machine is to scan barcodes and print out badges. In other words, the machine has been programmed to scan barcodes and print out badges. The machine doesn't care whether you did not intend for it to scan the barcode, it scans it anyway. In the same respect, I believe the function of all born again Christians is to be ambassadors for Christ.  All Christians are programmed by the renewing of their minds to be ambassadors for Christ.  We renew our minds with the Word of God/Bible. Within every Christian is the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper, Teacher a

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️

If God is Sovereign, Why is there Evil?

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res
