Babes in Christ

1Peter 2:2 like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation. As babes in Christ we desire milk since we are babes. As time goes on we must move on to solid food.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Ephesians 4:11-12 - He gave us some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; As Christians we have so much out there that we are without excuse to learn. To me it is just overwhelming how many ministries are out there.

We are told to be ministries if we are born again. We should be walking bibles to this world. We must love unbelievers with God's love and not act like we are better than they are. I remember when I first got saved I just figured that if I told people what the bible says about being born again people would listen.

 Life is always going to have lessons to learn. Some good and some bad. In Christ everything is made easier because we can trust He will always figure it out. My prayer for you today is that you tune into the Word as well as what God gave us in Eph. the five fold ministries. There is so much to learn from all of them as well.

Baby Faith

Ever wonder what that means baby faith? Baby faith is taking God at His word, believing what He says. Back when I first got saved and started reading the bible I jumped in with both feet.

One of my first Scriptures that really came to life is Romans 4:17. Abraham called into being that which did not exist. The home we lived in at the time had a one stall garage and my husband wanted to build a bigger one. The only way to do that at the time was to take out a loan. A neighbor at the time was getting ready to build a new garage and had all the lumber sitting in his yard. I prayed a prayer based on Romans 4:17 and believed God for our own pile of wood to build our garage. Everyday when I pulled in and out of my driveway and passed that neighbor's pile of wood I thanked the Lord for our pile.

God does work in mysterious ways. My husband had taken out a life insurance policy when he was younger and the Rep called and wanted to get together with us. I put him off because I assumed he just wanted to sell us more. I think after the third time I gave in and let him come over. He sat at our table and said that the policy was overpaid by Two Thousand Dollars.

I did what any other woman would have done at that time I put out my hand and said give it to me. He went on to tell me it wasn't that easy but I knew it was because God was behind it. That night we took out a family life insurance policy and canceled the other one and received the check for the money. We built our new garage 24X32, it was huge.

 There is many more things that I believed God for and that Scripture became quite popular with me. I will continue to write more about it.

Our garage right now isn't so huge and it is attached so there is no room to add on to so we build a shed for the overflow.

  My prayer for you is that you reach out with baby faith if you have to and just let go and know that God wants to bless you.
