Drowning in debt?

 Remember the familiar Bible scene in Luke 8:22-25? That was when Jesus got in the boat with the disciples and said, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." (This is the red-letter-edition blog.)Then it seems Jesus promptly went to sleep after a long day of ministry. As they were sailing, a huge windstorm came down on the lake. The disciples were terrified for their lives and worrying that they may drown.
"Master, Master, we are perishing," cried out the disciples. Jesus got up, rebuked the wind and the raging waters and the seas calmed. Wow! What a relief!
But then He asked the disciples a very important question, "Where is your faith?"
In that response, Jesus is asking them why they didn't handle this storm themselves. Why didn't they speak to the wind and the raging waves? He implied that they had everything inside of them to get the same outcome He did. But where was their faith?
Are you in a storm of debt and financial worries? Have you been crying out to Jesus, "Master, Master, I am perishing!"
Is Jesus asking you, "Where is your faith?"
As we study God's Word, we see over and over again that faith activates the power of God to do the impossible. See Matthew 9:22, Matthew 9:29, and Mark 2:5. Each of these times, it was the faith of the people that activated the power of Christ to change their lives.
"Where is your faith?" If that question leaves you with a knowing that you need to increase your faith as you face this present danger of a debt storm, take action now! How do you do that? The Bible answers that question, also.
Romans 10:17 says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Get into the Scriptures. Listen to teachings on Christian television or ministry Cd's. Attend church and talk to other believers. Visit our Lack Attack Members Forum! Do whatever you need to do to find your faith and then speak to those debt storms.
Just like the disciples, you have everything inside of you to bring about your desired outcome.
By the way, we love to hear your comments and testimonies. Please stay in touch by adding your thoughts to this blog or by writing in the Lack Attack Forum.
Shalom (nothing missing, nothing broken)
