The Gift of Faith
I had spent a long time writing a post; I’d had to wrestle it out, pondering every word; I thought I had it properly, when I heard The LORD very clearly, “Scrap that Word completely!
The reason you had such a hard time with it, was that I was trying to tell you that it was not what I wanted you to say — so scrap it!”
Then He led me to my saved writings, and had me resurrect this from 2017, “This is the message I want you to share and encourage people!”
Here it is then 😃
The LORD just popped this thought into my head, “The Gift of Faith is rising!”
He reminded me of an evangelist friend who found himself confronted by four people in wheelchairs. He felt Faith rise strongly, and three of the four got out of their wheelchair and walked home.
The fourth was healed later. That was The Gift of Faith in operation.
So I understood what He was saying, when He continued, “The Gift of Faith I AM sending, is greater than you have seen before.
It will enable you to do those things thought unthinkable until now. It will enable you to do those ‘greater things’ you’ve only dreamed about.”
“Yet there is more!” declares The LORD. “The Gift of Faith that is going to rise in you, will not only Heal, it will give you great courage in the face of danger and persecution.”
I thought of a Facebook post that questioned if we understand real persecution here in the west. The LORD spoke again, “The Gift of Faith I AM sending, will defy those who persecute you. It will reveal to them, that I AM The God who Loves those who follow Him — that I AM He Who they truly persecute — that My Love conquers even death.”
“My Gift of Faith is rising upon you,” says The LORD, ”and I shall reveal Myself through your Faith and your Love.
When My Spirit falls upon you, Hope, Love and Faith shall arise in many, and many shall be saved!”
Amen!

There is no magnitude of persecutions or satanic arrows like accusations, sicknesses etc that can stand the gift of God given Faith to us. This i can confidently testify to. Since I see Faith as a weapon that levels any satanic obstacles, I always cry out “Lord, give me the Grace to Faith more”!. Thanks Sir!
For the first time that I recall doing so, I asked for the gift of faith this morning. And, I have been endued with it.
Therefore, this is a timely message for me as I’m sure that it is for others.
Thank you.
Hi Chris, that’s a really good word. So helpful. I too have been struggling to give a word to someone. I’ll take your lead and scrap it and start again, leaving the Holy Spirit to do it His way. Thank you. Blessings.
