Increasing Your Faith!

When you have faith you please God and when you please God he gives the increase (Hebrews 11:6).

During hard times my mother took a forty-two dollar investment and turned it into 16,000.00 dollars. Fear will rob you of your miracle. This is not a gambling hunch, but the truth from experience. My household is blessed because we trust in the almighty God. We pray, we fast and we pay our tithes. Money is the answer to all things. It's only the root of evil if you're evil.

Teach your children how to love, and help people. Don't allow them to know all of the struggles we go through, they are

"Money is the answer to all things. It's only

the root of evil if

you're evil."

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1, KJV). I'm a firm believer in the principle of sowing and reaping. There's absolutely no way that I'm going to let my faith be decreased by what I see. Take this opportunity to gain closeness with your family and your God. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

This is nothing but a test; you probably said, "Test, my foot! I'm the one losing my job, my house and my car." Listen, even before the recession, I lost everything. At that time, I didn't even know God, but because there were no other options I prayed and he brought me through it. Can you image the victory that you will have in Jesus if you would only let him direct your path?

Believe and trust that the Lord always have someone in place to assist you with your needs. If you allow pride to block you from your blessing, shame on you.
