FAITH IS OUR EYES

Jason's sermon this morning was very good. I liked the message "moving on to greater things". I also believe that Sunshine is moving on to greater things.

"Faith is our eyes". In Hebrews I the bible tell us - Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even it we do not SEE it. Faith is the reason we remember great people who lived in the past. It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God's command so what we SEE was made by something that cannot be seen.

Holy Spirit - Also, the Spirit helps us with our weaknesses. We do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself speaks to God for us, even begs God for us with deep feelings that words cannot explain. God can see what is in people's hearts. And he knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit speaks to God for his people in the way God wants. We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. They are the people he called, because that was his plan. Romans 8:26-28.

Jason also pointed out to us that we need to be "uncovering what are values are". I myself am not praying enough, not reading the bible enough, etc. and need to be looking at my values. "What am I doing or what am I about"? We all have to take a look at the "stuff" we have in our minds. Sometimes we lose sight that God is active, great and still willing to work in us. We take the Great Blessings of God for granted. Are we plugging into God's power by acknowledging God, laying everything out to God and asking God for help in specific terms. Oh how we (and especially myself) need to look to the Lord and not only expect things to happen but also know they will happen.

Thanks Jason for a wonderful lesson this morning. This post in no way expresses all of the wonderful sermon you gave and I hope I have not messed up your sermon too much but this is what I got out of the sermon.
