And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:18

Faith as a Mustard Seed
I have enjoyed my time here at the Master's Men Conference in CA. We heard from several preachers today and will go through several more tomorrow. David Gibbs of the CLA gave a message that the Holy Spirit used to convict my heart. We know in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. He gave the example of Sears, we order something from Sears and we have faith that they will deliver there product. We know their name and trust them, because they are Sears, we go to the door and look on our porch ( substance of things unseen) we have faith in them. Do we have that faith with God? We know who God is and we can trust and have faith that He delivers. Bro. Gibbs said he has a friend that prayed that God would let him lead one soul to the Lord EVERY DAY!!! You know what happened, This man has faith in God and for the past 20 years he has lead someone to the Lord, EVERY DAY!!! We hear of that and think, 1.) that isn't real, 2.) He has super powers, or 3.) he is some sort of evangelist, but the truth is he has real faith. We pray to God and do not expect Him to do anything. We just need to pray and expect Him to work. Bro. Gibbs made another point that I want to state, He said we need to live in a way that if all that God says isn't true then we will look like fools. He challenged us to have faith like that to live in a way that we have to trust God. All of this is not for the sake of personal gain or glory or piousness, NO not at all, but for the glory of God. I don't want to lead a person to the Lord so that I might make a name for myself, but that I might make His name known. Are you willing to pray that you might lead a soul to the Lord every day? Are you willing to step out in faith? Can you have faith in God like you do in Sears?
