Faith

Faith, that's what god has been teaching me lately...to have more of it...and he has shown me so many examples.

God has made it so much easier for me to read in the old testament lately and I have read 1 kings and now I am in 2 kings...and faith is so huge.
God dwelt in Elisha so much that he could summon bears out of the woods to maul a mob of boys making fun of him.
Christ said that we would do greater things then he did. So why aren't we doing them.

On June 1st 2008 Aaron Kirk Bennett was killed in a car accident, I knew him from church and just the Wednesday before his mother and I were talking about how he was going to ask me out. That Sunday when I found out he had passed away, I was so crushed...knowing that he was a man of God who would have been a great friend I and now he was gone. Then God laid on my heart, the call to faithfully believe that he would be brought back to life...and god wanted to use me.
On a Tuesday night during a prayer service, God spoke to me these words..."God does miracles."
He told me to speak the words in Kirks ear and to just believe. I had no doubt...just all faith.
I was going to go to his funeral but then I didn't hear anything about it.
On July 1st 2008 I went to his funeral, it was held off for a month because his sister who was also in the car wreck was in a coma. His mom had waited until she was able to go to the funeral.
I went with one purpose and one alone...to say these words "God does miracles." I had no doubt in my mind and no doubt right now that it would have worked.
But I chickened out scared of what people would think. I went and sat down hoping I would have the nerve to get up and say those special words at the end of the service. But god told me that I lost my chance. He told me when to do it and i didn't.
I lost a chance, I cant get back the opportunity. An opportunity that no one else could have been called to either. At the same time I still had and still have full faith that God would have done it.

Don't miss your opportunities...I did and I regretted it for a long time...a year. Then I gave it fully to god learned from it and realized that god is calling us all to have faith to even raise the dead in his name....we shall do greater things than he did...and I am so excited that god has called our generation to do so.
Everyone has these kind of opportunities but we are the future.

WILL WE STAND IN HIS PROMISES AND THE FAITH WE KNOW WE SHOULD HAVE.
