Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

We have all witnessed tragic situations, if not in our lives then in the lives of people that we know. We have seen on the news where the unthinkable has happened; a child is brutally killed, terrorists have killed thousands or a plane has gone down killing all on board. How do the people that are directly touched by these tragedies cope when all of the cameras are gone and they are left to really feel the impact of their loss?

In chapter 6 of Intensive Faith Therapy, we look at how the prophet Jeremiah handled such death, disaster and destruction. He felt that God was allowing too much to happen to Jerusalem and that all was hopeless. However, in the middle of his pity party he remembered one thing. God is faithful and His faithfulness is great.

When we face similar situations, we would do good to remember the unfailing love that God has for us. We may feel that all hope is gone. However, if we remember that God is faithful then we will be able to place our hope and faith in Him. Jerusalem did not remain in desolation. Neither will we.

Little Faith vs. Great Faith

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

We see in chapter 11 of “Intensive Faith Therapy” that Jesus is very impressed by faith. During His earthly ministry, He often commented on the faith of the people he encountered. There were several times that He marveled at the “great faith” that some of those people had that came to Him. Other times, He was equally astonished at the lack of faith, or “little faith” that some of those that were the closest to Him had.

It is clear from scripture that Jesus expects us, those that are the closest to Him, to operate in “great faith”. Sure, it was wonderful that the Gentile woman and the Centurion soldier had faith that Jesus could solve their problems. However, it looks like He expected even more from his disciples. He expected His disciples to have enough faith to do something about the raging storm and the lack of food. He really expected Peter to walk on that water.
How would Jesus rate your faith today?

Renewing Your Mind

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

In chapter 16 of “Intensive Faith Therapy”, we look at the huge job we have of renewing our minds. Notice that God has not promised to renew our minds for us. This is something that we must do ourselves. No one can do it for us.

We looked at the scripture as recorded in Romans 12:2. We saw that we are not to be conformed to this world but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We cannot do things like the world does. We cannot focus on depressing thoughts and hopeless ideas. We must transform or change our way of thinking. Our thinking must be so that we are able to prove that good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

Trusting God in Our Situation

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

In chapter 2 of Intensive Faith Therapy we see that we do not always know why we are in the situations that we are in. Perhaps the situation is to strengthen our faith in God. Maybe it is to show us areas that we have not yet committed to God. It maybe time for us to show patience or it could be time for us to take dominion and get things happening. There is no one answer for all situations. We must seek God personally about our situation. Trust Him and ask for wisdom on how to proceed. He has promised that if we lack wisdom, all we need to do is ask.
