Have Faith
By Pastor Reggie Kelley, Blackgum Christian Union Church,

GOD IS SO WONDERFUL, HE’S WILLING TO DO WHAT’S ASKED OF HIM! HE’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS, HE’LL MAKE THE SUN STAND STILL! HE CAN EVEN MAKE THE EARTHMOVE BACKWARDS! Matthew 17:20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. DO AS GIDEON DID! GOD IS WILLING TO PROVE HIMSELF! HAVE FAITH AS GIDEON DID!

Judges 6:37-40 37Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 38And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

39And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 40And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

JOSHUA ASKED OF GOD TO MAKE THE EARTH STAND STILL—AND IT HAPPENED AS JOSHUA ASKED! PRAISE THE LORD! HAVE FAITH AS JOSHUA DID!

Joshua 10:12-14 12Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

Isaiah 38:1-8 1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 3And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

7And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

GOD CAN EVEN MAKE AN AXE HEAD FLOAT! HAVE SOLID FAITH AS ELISHA DID IN GOD ALMIGHTY!

2 Kings 6:4-7 4So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. 7Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, HAVE FAITH! In the name of Jesus Christ, I love you. Please come to church to hear, study, and learn the WORD of the Lord. Just COME AS YOU ARE. God bless!
