Word of the Day
Thank you Jesus for all your blessings! Praise the Lord!
We give you all the glory! You are worthy to be praised!
Thank you for joining us today! If you are new to this blog, please take the time to post a comment on what you have read today and let us know what you think. We value your opinion. For those joining us who have followed us since the beginning, this blog is designed for Pastor Ed to give us the Word of the Day and share with us his teaching on the Word.
Hi everyone! How is everybody doing? Blessed I hope. Let's talk about the discernment of faith. Faith as a grain of a mustard seed... Matthew 17:20 We seem to have this idea that God rewards us for our faith. That might be so in the beginning stages, but we don't earn a thing by faith; faith only allows us and brings us to a right relationship with God and gives Him the opportunity to exercise your faith. God will often knock the bottom out from under your experience if you are a saint in order to get you into contact with Himself. God is eager for you to understand that this is a life of faith, not of sentimental enjoyment of all of His blessings. In your early years as a follower of Christ, your faith was narrow and intense, settled around a tiny sun-spot of experience that had as much of sense of faith in it; full of light and sweetness. Then God withdrew His conscious blessings in order to teach you to walk by faith. You are more worth to Him now than in your days of conscious delight and thrilling testimony.
Faith in its nature must be tried, and the real trial of our faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our mind right away. Faith in its actual works has to go through spells of isolation. Don't ever confound the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, much that we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith in the Bible is faith in God against everything that contradicts Him. I will remain true to God's character whatever He may do. Though he slay me, though he may slice me, in this will I trust Him. This is the most sublime utterance of faith in the whole of the Bible.
We like to close every Word of the Day by making sure you have the opportunity to ask Jesus in your heart.

So please pray, Lord Jesus, I accept that you were born of a virgin, died on the cross and shed your blood for my sins to be forgiven and rose again to be Lord and King. I repent of my sins and ask that you come into my life and be Lord and Savior and live in my heart.
Amen
Friends, if you just prayed this prayer, you are born again, and may I pray that you grow in your walk with Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him. If you just said this prayer, please send us an email, we would love to know.
