Faith It Till You Make It

There was always this saying “fake it till you make it”, but last time i checked faking it never got me anywhere. Why fake it when you can faith it? But the thing is faith is neutral. You are going to have faith in whatever you are feeding yourself. Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”   In the year of 2018 God came in and shook my foundation of faith. I was living in fear more than i was living in faith.  I was trying to make things happen out of my own strength. I was saying, “yeah God, i know your all powerful, but i got this!” It only left me drained and frustrated because i really didn’t have a clue. Its crazy how I was operating. I knew God to be all powerful, all knowing, and present every where, yet i was still trusting in my own strength more than his. If someone is all powerful, all knowing, and present everywhere then it seems to me that would be the perfect person to run to and lean and depend on. He should’ve been my source because what more could i ask for if i have the all powerful God on my side. I was forced to do a major self assessment. I said i believed in God, but did i really believe in God? Did i trust him to make good on his promises? Sadly I had to admit to myself i was not truly trusting in God. Hebrews 11 :6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” This is when it was like a light bulb came on in my head. It was a major break through for me because when i was able to admit i was not trusting in him i started to understand why i was making such poor decisions and causing so much chaos within my life. 2018 showed me how to allow God to be God in my life and enter his rest. I had to learn my faith shouldn’t be in me or in any other human being because by us being human we will mess it up every time. My faith should rest in God and who he is and who he created me to be. 2 Corinthians 1:20 ” For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” This is a scripture that helps strengthens my faith daily when I  look around and in the natural things don’t seem to look like they are in my favor i can rest assured God has already worked it together for my good in the supernatural, i am just learning to wait with patience on his perfect timing. Faith it till you make it because God will make good on his promises.
