What Is The Object of Your Faith

                                                 When The Door Slams 

Since we have been made right with God by our faith, we have peace with God. This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has brought us into that blessing of God's grace that we now enjoy. And we are happy because of the hope we have of sharing God's glory.                                        (Romans 5:1-2 NCV)

            This remind me of a story about a man some years ago who was rolling a wheelbarrow back and forth across Niagara River on a tightrope. Thousands of people were shouting him on. He put a two-hundred-pound sack of dirt in the wheelbarrow and rolled it over, and then he rolled it back. Then he turned to the crowd and said, "How many of believe I can roll a man across? Everybody shouted! One man in the front was very excited about his professed belief. The man pointed to this excited professor and said, You're next!" You couldn't see the man for dust! He actually didn't believed it, he thought he believed it--but he was not willing to get in the wheelbarrow

           Just so with Christ. There are many people who say they believe on Him, who say they will follow Him. You know the story. They never have gotten into the wheelbarrow. They actually never have committed and surrendered themselves wholly, one hundred percent to Christ. 

            Think about this: There are many people who ask, "Well, how much faith does it take?" Jesus said only the faith as of "a grain of mustard seed." 

            Others ask, "What kind of faith?" It is not a matter of any special kind of faith. There is only one kind of faith really. It is the object of the faith that counts. What is the object of your faith? The object of your faith must be Christ. Not faith in ritual, not faith in sacrifices, not faith in morals, not faith in yourself--not faith in anything but Christ. 

            Affirmation: So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."  ( Matthew 17:20-21 NKJV).

Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the LORD and thank Him for His forgiveness
