Walk by faith

walk by faith

so lately i've been in such a spiritual warfare...and it's really just hit me how i was allowing satan to win. I had given up...had hit rock bottom...sometimes that's what it takes....completely hitting rock bottom before we realize we have to change...that something has to give. I walked out on everything i believed because i couldn't SEE God moving instead of standing on FAITH. So many times we feel like we have to see Him move in order to have the faith that He is there. But really this is when our faith is what we should be relying on...if we FEEL we have to see God moving we are in reality relying on our feelings....which will get us nowhere...relying on feelings will just cause us to get farther and farther away from using our faith...farther and farther into a pit...God even tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 to walk by faith not by sight. This became real to me as i was sitting here listening to a Jeremy Camp dvd...he talks about his song "Walk by Faith" and how he questioned God over and over about why his wife wasn't healed...why she had to die..and God spoke to him and told him that He didn't want to tell me b/c then Jeremy wouldn't be using his faith...sometimes when we are in the middle of a storm we ask God why...and he just wants us to use our faith...to build it and make it stronger...sometimes we don't need to know why...

Satan using our feelings against us...our emotions are so up and down...but God loves us no matter how we feel...we need to trust him...we need to walk by faith...
