I have heard so much about the blind faith christians are supposed to have, my faith has never been blind. Hebrews. ch:11. v.1. explains what faith is, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. St Paul in Romans ch: 10. v. 17 further explains, Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
If you will hear the message of Christ, if you will humble yourself to listen to it, God will put faith in your heart to believe it. This imparted faith is rock solid, you cannot see it, you cannot see happiness in the heart but it is real. And then having recieved this gift of faith you can step out and claim the blessings God's word has promised to you.
Now God is extraordinarily patient and merciful, He sometimes seems [but it is only seems] to change the order of things like when fierce and arrogant Saul, breathing out hatred against the christians on his way to Damascus when suddenly a light shone brighter than the noon-day sun and knocked him off his horse. But he still had to seek out Ananias to be instructed in the way so that he could recieve faith to be saved.
This is God's way this is the way He works, first He sends His word and if we will be humble enough to listen to it He sends faith into our hearts to recieve the blessings He has promised.
I pray YOU will be blessed this very hour, The Lord is gracious to all who call upon Him in sincerity and truth.
