Scripture Verse of The day
Hebrews 4:2
For this wonderful news—the message that God wants to save u–has been given to us just as it was to those who lied in the time of Moses. But it didn’t do them any good because they didn’t believe it. They didn’t mix it with faith.
Scripture Reading of The day
Psalms 119:41-50 ; Luke 22:15-20
I long to obey them! Therefore in fairness renew my life, for this was your promise—yes, Lord, to save me! Now spare me by your kindness and your love. Then I will have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust your promises.
May I never forget your words, for they are my only hope. Therefore I will keep on obeying you forever and forever, free within the limits of your laws. I will speak to kings about their value, and they will listen with interest and respect.
How I love your laws! How I enjoy your commands! “Come, come to me,” I call to them, for I love them and will let them fill my life.
Never forget your promises to me, your servant, for they are my only hope. They give me strength in all my troubles, how they refresh and revive me! Proud men hold me in contempt for obedience to God, But I stand unmoved. From my earliest youth I have tried to obey you; Your word has been my comfort.
Luke 22: 15-20
and he said, “I have looked forward to this hour with deep longing, anxious to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. For I tell you now that I won’t eat it again until what it represents has occurred in the Kingdom of God.”
Then he took a glass of wine, and when he had given thanks for it, he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come.”
Then he took a loaf of bread; and when he had thanked God for it, he broke it apart and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, given for you. Eat in in remembrance of me.”
After supper he gave them another glass of wine, saying. “This is the token of God’s new agreement to save you—an agreement sealed with the blood I shall pour out to purchase back your souls.

Sam’s Response
How do we handle issues in life that seem to shake our faith?
How do we prevent these issues in life to shake our faith?
There are things that will come along and tempt your mind and heart to question your faith and try to pull you away.
Don’t let it happen. Pick up the Word of God and Speak the Truth of the Word over any situation. If we walk by what we see, we will be fooled into the natural and taken away from where the power of Jesus is, in the supernatural.
We fight not against flesh and blood. It is a spiritual warfare that is played out in what we cannot see.
Faith is increased by winning these battles and walking through the difficulties we face. When we trust God, we are trusting him with our life. We all need to look beyond what we see and turn to the cross to see what Christ has done and what he has promised and given us.
Freedom….He has given us Freedom….A freedom that this world can NEVER deliver.
Salvation….
Eternal Life….
A time when all we see and all the sin will fade away. But the Word of God will Last forever.
To prevent those issues that will shake your faith, or pull you away from God, you must press in closer to the Lord. This means you grow to love the word and spending time with the Lord. It becomes a burning passion, not a ritual that is performed on Sunday like a to do list.
It needs to burn within you….
How?
Ask God, read his Word Daily…Trust him…Turn to him when things are good and when things are bad…
Praise him right in the middle of the storm and laugh off the circumstances that Satan has thrown at you to try and pull you away.
When you can do this YOUR faith will increase. It is hard, but if you truely trust God with everything, you will not question what happens in the natural. You will live a Faith Filled life that is above the world and what it offers.
May your faith be radically increased daily . God I pray you radically grow my faith today. I ask that you show me and take me into the supernatural and out of this world and the way this world thinks. Help me to be anxious for NOTHING…Help me to grow closer to you today Lord.
