Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith is impossible, to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. James 2:20 - But wilt thou know O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Verse26 - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Faith has a belief process and then action process so, many times doubt and fear hold us hostage and keep us from achieving , our vision and dreams simply because, we want to be a star on the first time we try do something, rather than going through the growth process which challenges, your faith without suffering some form of disappointment and anguish then your faith isn’t strengthen and you never grow but, you must continue to exercise your faith, like working out on the 1st day you don’t become incredibly strong over night but, sticking with the process will build strength and stamina overtime and that is what faith does when you continue to use your faith it will give you insight to vision God has place in your life an how to continue the process to reaching your ultimate goals. Action is the activation process of faith which brings forth results, and that requires, us to make choice and prepare to for the results of the decision we have made far too many times we blame situations and complex actions of impulsive nature on the devil and others instead of accepting accountability, the decision that was made and live with the consequences, most times we are like the Five foolish virgins we don’t have a backup plan when things don’t go as planned and the spiritual light goes dim then we try and get others, to give us some oil but, it is best to be like the Five wise virgins, purchase that spiritual oil need to through prayer, reading God’s word ( Bible) which will keep your lamp trimmed and burning bright . Faith isn’t always activated instantaneously, regardless of what the Preacher preaches sometimes faith has a process that creates patients in order for the believer to have spiritual self control without control the believer, gets off course when the instant results, are not produce but the bible states “ Patients possess ye your soul” so, faith requires, action along with patients in order to complete the process in your life.
