Brothers and Sisters,
Grace and peace to you all throughout this new year of 2026 as we continue to watch, pray and anticipate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ! Why, every day we can look out the window and see another verse of the book of Revelation unfolding. We are truly living in exciting times!
I would like to stir up your hearts today and remind you of the ONE thing, according to scripture, that we are fully assured Jesus will be looking for upon His return in this natural world. In the book of Luke we read, '... when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8 (NKJV)
In Romans we read " '... God has dealt to each one a measure of faith." Romans 12:3 (NKJV) Think about this, who in this world does not believe that the sun will come up in the morning? Do not even worldly people, if they are wise, prepare for the four seasons to come? Do we not all believe that tomorrow we will have air to breathe? People, that is faith, because the truth is, until God created the sun, the seasons, and mankind, what we believe and expect daily, has not always existed according to the book of Genesis in the Bible.
This word faith in the Romans 12:3 in the Greek (4102/pistis) is defined a s always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. Who made the sun, the seasons, the air we breathe? Of course, God made everything we can see and believe. Therefore, what He has produced, even in the natural - is His gift to mankind, which results in their faith
God is the center of faith, and the more a person yields themselves to Him, He continues to birth them from faith to faith. First from faith in things pertaining to the natural world He created. Then, the blessed hope is that, as one renews their mind according to the word of God, their faith will be the true faith God prefers, i.e., believing in what is unseen. "...faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
I pray that the Word of God may continue to increase in your lives daily, as you receive it, believe it, and walk in it! I trust in God that His Word will have no boundaries and will continually save your souls both here and now, and the souls of your entire household! Glory!
"Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting." 2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMPC)
In His Service,
