Exercising our faith

 

                                      


Many of us are unaware of the power of faith until we face situations where we have already lost hope, have been given no chance by doctors, have lost everything we had, and have hit rock bottom.

And then someone tells us about a God who can change everything—and He can!

But the Bible shows us that we must exercise our faith for something to happen.

Without faith, there are no miracles!

I learned to believe even without seeing anything tangible, to give thanks even before receiving anything from God.

I invested 100% of my faith in the Lord Jesus because I learned that when He performs a miracle, He does it completely.

The 10 lepers who were healed by Jesus are an example. He could have healed only five, but He healed all 10.

He could have healed the woman with hemorrhage and left her with some aftereffects, but instead, He healed her completely!

Matthew 9:19–22 — English Standard Version (ESV)

19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, Take heartdaughteryour faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

He could have restored sight to just one eye of the blind man from Jericho, but He healed both eyes. And so many other things He did fully.


Mark 10:51–52 — English Standard Version (ESV)

51 And Jesus said to him, What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, Go your wayyour faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.

So why believe only 50% in Jesus Christ?

Faith is one of the most powerful forces in life. It gives us strength in difficult moments, hope when everything seems lost, and the courage to move forward despite uncertainties. Faith is not just the belief in something greater than ourselves—it is the conviction that even in the darkest moments, there is a purpose and a path forward.

Faith transforms lives. It allows people to face hardships with resilience, find peace amidst chaos, and inspire others to keep going. It is the foundation of miracles, the source of unwavering hope, and the reason so many overcome obstacles that seem impossible.

I am living proof!

Last year, we had an accident and completely lost our car, but we walked away without a single scratch.

Three months later, I ended up in the hospital and fell into a coma (I discovered that I had diabetes, even though I had never had it before). While I was there, I promised God that if He allowed me to return home, I would take better care of my health, exercise, and, most importantly, do something for God’s work.

When I got out of the hospital, I told my husband that we should pray and give thanks for the car that the Lord would give us—and so we did.

Three months later, we received a car as a gift from my father-in-law.

And here I am, writing another message to strengthen those who are feeling weak and hopeless, those who have lost everything and have hit rock bottom. (I have been there too.)


May God bless you all !
