A Fresh Expolosion of Faith

Beth Moore's "A Taste of Believing in God" is a short book, I like to call it a handbook, that is a breath of fresh air when it comes to faith and belief in God. Beth Moore does an awesome job of answering the who, what, where, when and why of believing in God. As someone who feels like I have been on a rollercoaster of belief and question since I can remember, this book is an amazing and refreshing breath of faith and how God's love can set your mind and heart free. Freedom is the greatest gift and feeling I could wish for anyone. What I have learned recently is priceless, I have finally attained the tools to experience Freedom in life. I am head over heels in love with my husband and everything that makes him tick, every quierk, differnece, similarity all of it.

With the power of God's love I now have the ability to open My heart and mind and soul to allow myself to love him in the many ways he deserves to be loved and appreciated. In a certain frame of mind I am sorry it took me this long to "figure it out" or let go of my wall or doubt (not in my spouse, in me and my belief of faith). I wanted to believe, but I didnt know how. With the love of my husband, family, close friends and family and most off the love for God's power and the amazing love he has shown me, to forgive and forget - learning lessons from the past, but not holding on to it- I am Alive and in Love with my boo, God is Alive and Active with in me, giving me the power and Freedom to Love with all my heart and soul. For this awakening and I thank you Adam, your faith and love has never left me, so many days I was only driven by hope, the hope of you and I. I know I am rambling, but frankly I cant stop, the love I feel for you Adam is unlike any love I have ever experienced, it is God's love. Thank you for taking my hand, walking with me and guiding me to faith and unconditional love. God's love is unconditional and that is the love between a husband and wife - it must be unconditional for their connection to grow and strengthen and most of all to allow the love of faith to guide their relationship and journey to become "one."

Back to Beth Moore :)
God's Word is Alive and Active in Me:
Applying God's word is not just taking our bibles to church on Sundays or the cross above the doorway. Ephesians 6:17 states that God's Word is our Sword of the Spirit, but we have to learn how to use it if we want to be a powerful force for the kingdom and against the darkness. God has given us the tools to protect our belief, love, familiy and self from The Enemy. We must never let our guard (faith) down, The Enemy is out there, I am not giving him any reason to even take a second look at our life. God has given us the tools, through hard lessons yes, but we have the ultimate weapon: Freedom, Faith, God, and Unconditional Love - not to mention Each Other. Now its time to learn how to use it to make our life the best it can be, better than we have ever imagined! :)

God not only told us that His Word is alive, effective and powerful on its own - He insisted that it is alive, effective, and powerful in us when we recieve it. - Pause and take the time to let this sink in, appreciate this concept.

Faith has supernatural effects for those who open their hearts and minds to its teachings.

When we recieve God's word, it invades every part of who we are (Hebrew 4:12).

As a way to reaffirm these lesson each day I try to ask myself the following questions daily and pray for the opportunity to further emmerse myself in the love of God and the lessons of true faith.

"Do I really believe these words? And, if I do, how does it show? How might I be able to act on the truth of these words today? How do these words apply to my present challenges and petitions today?"
