Where is your faith?

Text: Luke 8:25

The Lord had just taught His disciples the parable of the Sower, and advised in verse18, that they should take heed what they hear. What you give your attention to: your eyes to see and your ears to hear determine whether you live by faith or fear or worry. Afterwards He told them they should go to the other side of the lake and they launched forth. The Lord obviously knew what he would do(John 6:6) and was teaching them how to operate in faith.

The storm was boisterous and fear came to the disciples instead of faith. They heard in their ears based on what they saw that they were going to perish if help did not come, even though their faith-JESUS CHRIST was with them in the ship. They woke Him up from sleep, instead of rebuking the storm in His Name. Then He asked them, where is your faith?

You may be passing through a storm now, and you are wondering! Lord , are you there? And the Holy Spirit is asking you:”Where is your faith " because I have told you in MY Word” I will never leave you nor forsake you, so that you may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear.........(Hebrews 13:5). He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world(1 John 4:4).Remember Christ is you the hope of glory(Colossians 1:27).The Psalmist says" I will look unto the hills from whence cometh my help, My helpn is in tne name of the Lod who made heaven and earth.Where are you looking. Your focus determines your faith or fear.

Now to the question, where is your faith! From the above and the word of God in Romans 3:25, our faith is in the blood of Jesus, by which our righteousness can be declared thus releasing God's enablement or grace to overcome the challenge and give us the breakthrough we need.

The Bible says in Psalm 82:5 "They know not, neither will they understand: they walk in darkness........, Therefore our understanding and knowledge of who we are in Christ will enable us to walk in light. When we walk in the light, the scripture tells us in 1 John 1:7, that the blood of Jesus cleanseth us from all sin, and in Revelation 12:10,we overcome the devil by the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony of the finished work on the Cross:IT IS FINISHED. Thanks be to God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.( 2 Corinthians 2:14)

Therefore rather than proclaiming fear we need to plead and claim the blood of Jesus as the repository of our victory over sin, self, mountains and the devil. There is a decree in heaven, that when we plead the blood of Jesus and exercise our faith and claim on the blood in the Name of Jesus(remember faith is for taking), the obstacle must bow and passover(Exodus 12:24). Even the red scarlet handkerchief of Rahab and the blood of bulls on the door posts of the children of Israel in Egypt brought deliverance from captivity and danger respectively.Pharoah defied all the other signs and wonders; but when the blood came, he virtually begged the children of Israel to leave and gave them gifts.How much more the Blood of Jesus.
The BLOOD OF JESUS IS FOR OUR ALL ROUND TRIUMPH IN OUR LIVES. Meditate ON THIS truth today and your profiting will appear to all.(1 Timothy 4:15)
