We all need the faith to follow Christ. 

Someone said true faith could be compared to watching a man cross over Niagara Falls on a tight rope, everyone oohs and awes...  Yet who would jump into that man's arms and allow himself to be carried back across the Falls? 

Jump into the arms of Jesus and he will carry you through this life and the next.
 
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
 
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
 
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                           Revelation 21: 2,3&4 (KJV)






As it was in the Garden, in the beginning, walking with Him, so it will be in that glorious place of peace walking beside His Saints.

Here is a video you must not miss; the American Symphony Orchestra plays “The Valkyrie”.  Listen to this extremely rare, hard to find, recording from 1920 while the visuals explain the true beginnings of the earth and all the creatures therein. 

The Psychology of Faith

There are two forces within Gods’ creation; one is the God force Faith; the other is the dark force Fear.  Faith is the creative power of the cosmos; Fear is the means by which satan seeks to enslave the human mind. Faith is the powerful side of the force; Fear is the weak dark side of the force. Fear is the means that satan uses to weakens faith.

One of the ways satan accomplishes this is by getting men and women to give voice to their fears. Just as Faith comes by hearing yourself give voice to the Word of God over, and over, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17 KJV); fear also comes by hearing yourself give voice to your fears over, and over.  Fear comes by hearing and hearing by words filled with fear. Give voice to your Faith and not to your Fears, For we walk by Faith not by sight. (2 Chronicles 5-7 KJV)

One of the first things that happened when Adam and Eve were escorted out of the Garden of Eden was they lost control of their tongues. They began to give voice to their fears for the first time in their lives (they began to have fears for the first time in their lives). They had separated themselves from God by their disobedience, and fear came. They listened to satan and fear is the way satan operates. Fear destroys faith. Once out of the garden they began to speak their fears into existence, and in the second generation that fear led to murder.

We are all the descendents of Adam and Eve and like them our fear has caused us to lose control over our tongues. We have become practiced and unconscious liars.  We look outside and it's sprinkling and immediately out of petty annoyance we say something like, Its pouring out!  Or, It’s raining cats and dogs!   We see someone we dislike often for reasons we do not understand ourselves and we say, I can't stand that scum bag!   Someone annoys us on the freeway and we remark, I hope that idiot crashes and burns to death!  We have lost control of our tongue. When calamity befell Job (The Book of Job) one of the first things he said was, For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. (Job 3:25 KJV)  Obviously Job was operating in fear and not just in fear, but in practiced fear. No doubt he had given voice to those fears over, and over. Satan works by getting you to destroy your own faith by giving voice over, and over, to your fears.

How do you defeat satan at his own game. Well, Jesus did it not by entering into discussion with him but by giving voice to the scriptures. You can defeat satan at his own game by giving voice to your faith and not your fear. When it is sprinkling outside, say, It is sprinkling outside. When someone cuts you off on the road, say to your companion, I hope that gentleman doesn't have an accident, he's driving too fast. And always give voice to God’s Word over, and over, and over.

Have you heard of the Psychological concept of, Self Fulfilling Prophesy? Satan has. He knows how the human spirit works. A Self Fulfilling Prophesy is when a person gives voice over and over to his fears. I’ll never get anywhere in this job, this is a dead end job, only those with pull or influence get ahead here. I’m such a loser, everything happens to me, if they were giving away money for free, I’d be in the wrong line. Do not allow satan to defeat you like this. Give voice to your faith even if at first you do not believe it. Remember, even if you do not believe it, God does. God’s Word can never be a lie. So, give voice to your faith over, and over, and over until Faith comes. Regain control over your own tongue. Believe God, not the devil. So then Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.   Romans 10:17 KJV.
