faith again

[futuresoldier]

When we don't feel faith, is acting in faith enough?

Hello?

 

[solo66 man]

I am sorry, but I do not see how you can ACT in faith if you don't have faith. If you are acting in faith, then you have more faith than you realize. Does that clear anything up?

 

[futuresoldier]

Yeah. Cheers. What I mean is, sometimes I know God will help me, but my mind refuses to believe, so I just go with my faith anyway, regardless of how doubtful my mind trys to make me.

Sounds like a good plan to me! I've been in situations like that to. You have to go by what you know, sometimes, not what you feel.

we walk by faith not by sight. Yes it's hard sometimes but without it, I know personally I wouldn't have survived all these years. Even when you think you don't have anymore, feed it, nurture it and renew it just like we do our bodies.

Faith is not a feeling. Acting on faith is walking by faith.

God delights in us when we have faith in Him, because it is evidence in our belief that He loves us (if you get what I mean)and He responds to our faith.

Our actions should not depend on whether we "feel" we have faith, but on what God has said - and here's the rub. There is a very fine line between faith and foolishness. So how do we know if we are acting in faith or being foolish. The answer is - "has God said".

We can (and should) confidently act on what God has said irrespective of our feelings - acting in faith. Anything else is foolishness
