Guest Blog: The Good Thing About Having Faith

A Guest Blog from Hannah_of_Cavite.

Faith is according to Hebrews 11:1 "1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

An assurance to ourselves that things we haven't seen yet will happen. A certainty of a thing even we haven't witnessed it with our our physical eyes.

Faith is the only thing that separates us from the world, it is also giving us some power through the Holy Spirit that sometimes we really cannot understand how it's done. Although faith is one of the things that we should have as a christian, it is undisputedly has big impact in our life, through faith we are being saved and it is not by our good works. Without this faith we completely do not know how to face this corrupted world. Most people who do not have faith always ending up killing themselves or going mad.



Para sakin hindi mo matatawag na faith ang faith 'pag hindi mu pa nagagawang sumuko (surrender) sa will ni God. Try natin tignan ang mga tauhan sa bible kung ano ang nagawa ng pagkakaroroon ng faith sa kanilang buhay, ilan dito ay matatagpuan sa book of Hebrews Chapter 11.

*By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away.

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he[a]considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.

By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith the people passed through the Red Sea[d] as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.

By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

O 'di ba, astig ang mga taong 'to. That is the good thing about having faith in God.

Siguro ako kung wala akong faith e hindi ko na alam kung nasaan ako at ano na ang katayuan ko sa buhay ngayon. Where ever I go and what ever I do I' always seeing to it na hindi mawawala ang faith ko kay Hesus(Jesus). Kaya ngayon ang sarap mabuhay araw-araw kahit na may mga banta ng pagsubok sa buhay, dahil nandun yung pananalig ko kay Lord e. Pananalig na tutulungan n'ya ako basta lang magpray ako sa kanya then through holy spirit makakatanggap ako ng revelation on what to do and what will happen.

I believe you can do the same thing my fellow believers, I do not know about you but what I am certain of is that as long as you keep your faith in Christ Jesus,you are in good hands, no one can touch you nor harm you. All your hearts desire will be granted just always take delight in the presence of God. Do not let anyone or anything keep you out of track. If you loose faith whille running in this life on earth then you will have no difference from those other people.

Faithless is a lifeless Christian life.

Minsan nga nalulungkot ako kasi may mga friend akong Christian na walang faith, siguro meron man pero hindi sapat para ma-overcome nila yung mga napagdadaanan nila sa buhay at mas naghahari pa yung pangamba at pagkaligalig.

Brothers and sisters do not be like that, remember we have a very big and powerful God behind us that always has helping hand whenever we ask with faith of course.
Meron nga akong isang text message na natanggap dati about faith. Kwento yun ng isang tribo o village ng mga magsasaka at matagal-tagal na rin silang hindi nakararanas ng ulan. Ang mga pananim nila ay natutuyot na at hindi na namumunga ng matino. Ngayon nagkaisa silang lahat na manalangin sa Diyos para bigyan sila ng ulan at nagtalaga sila ng isang partikular na araw para manalangin ng sabay-sabay. At sa mismong araw ng pananalangin, my isang bata na lumabas ng kanilang bahay na may dala-dalang payong.

That is an example of having faith. Yung nageexpect ka na mangyayari ang isang bagay na hiniling mo kay God even though hindi pa ito nangyayari before or wala pang signos o hudyat na ito'y magaganap.

Without faith, more people will become poor in all aspects, many will become more and more desparate, brokeness will not ease but continue, lives will be taken away unwanted left no choice, more spiritual lives will become downcasted.

What my point is that we should maintain the frequency of our faith in Jesus or should I say not maintain but keep on growing, seek more of Jesus' presence and His face all our life and in every area of it until we have the spirit and faith that can stop the whole earth from spinning like what Joshua did when he prayed to God.
