Authentic Signs of Faith

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Dr. Martin Luther king Jr.“ ...And you shall be called the
Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell in.
Isaiah 58:12 (b)

God expects that our lives, those whom are “Followers of Jesus of Nazareth” (1st
Cor. 11:1) , our churches where the whole word of God is taught (2nd Tim 3:16), He expects “us” to be characterized by these “authentic signs” of personal and corporate transformation: compassion, mercy, justice and love – inward (Ps. 19:14)
and outward (Matt. 25:34-40) demonstrated tangibly.

Think on these things today. Since your name is written in the Book of Life (Php. 4:3 – Rev 21:27) you and I are good to go. What is on your schedule today that will demonstrate authentic signs of faith in your God? Stop and look at what is on the schedule that needs to be changed! Is there an appointment, a meeting or a situation that your faith can and must be put into action?

The days we, “Followers of Jesus”, live in are not days for weakness – but great courage. Yes, Joshua and Caleb style of “authentic signs of faith” is what is called for right now – right where you are sitting or standing – NOW is the time to be authentic about your faith in Jesus Christ! Now – even if it costs you everything? Will you do it?

Consider your walk with your God. Is it in need of raw courage – ask for it! Are you unsure about the decision you will have to make? Trust your God now and do not doubt, “... lean not on your own understanding ...” (Proverbs 3:5). Only then, my dear friend and fellow leaders in the churches, will “ your light break forth like the dawn ...your healing will come quickly … your cries for help shall be answered and He will say, 'Here I AM'. (Isa.58:8-9)
