Staying Real About Faith & Family
Is Your Trust in God a Secondhand Faith?
Is your trust in God a secondhand faith?
Let’s Journey Together and spend a midweek moment with Father.
I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire you in your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.
Growing up, I believed what I saw, whether perceived or factual. I'm a visual and tactile kind of gal. I feel it, see it, and believe it.
Yet, I've lived long enough to discover that much of what I see is mere facades—candy coatings that promise one thing and deliver another. When these false concepts are spoken with fervor or displayed with confidence, they come across as believable.
My immature faith was the same. I watched. Heard. Believed. Went on with life.
When I experienced firsthand the power and depth of God’s love for me, my spirit shifted.
My knowing about Jesus and how much God loved me transformed into a supernatural and intimate understanding of who Yeshua (Jesus) truly is, how the Holy Spirit actively guides me, and why YHWH (God) wants an intimate relationship with me.
I no longer had a secondhand faith based on what others said or what I was told I needed to believe. My faith grew into a supernatural, intimate trust in my Creator. This transformation was a literal life changer.
Have you experienced firsthand trust like this? You can.
Reach out to Father. All He has is available to you. Wisdom and knowledge are never-ending with YHWH.
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” Romans 11:33 ESV
Firsthand faith grows through our trust in Yeshua.
Spiritual intimacy is experienced through the Holy Spirit in us. Once we feel a deep connection with the Father, life changes forever.
Trust in the honest prayer that comes from your heart. Speak it out, and don’t be afraid to share how you really feel with the Holy Spirit. He hears and cares for you!
Let’s journey together
YHWH, You love me deeply, and I’m blessed by Your attention to the details in my life. Thank You, Yeshua, for Your Spirit. By Your Spirit, I can walk out my faith with strength beyond my abilities. My trust and hope is in You, to the moon and beyond.
Hallelujah.
Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22
May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.
