But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

In this passage, you can find extremely precious lessons to make you a better servant if you comprehend and accept them. To serve God is to take hold of everything that He has, which occurs when we understand Scriptures. When you study the teachings and works of Jesus, faith comes to your heart and you are enabled to please the Lord. Faith is the necessary gift to obtain the divine favor (Ephesians 2:8). If you have frustration, you lack in faith.

The secret for us to have the Almighty working in our favor is to please Him. However, we must not do to the Lord like those who deceived the indigenous tribes with cheap objects to get their friendship, and then, took advantage of them. If you desire to be helped by the Most High that means that He is working in you. Yet, you must receive and use the faith that He gives.

When you please God, you open the way for Him to work in Your favor. You receive faith when you listen to the heavenly Father, believing in His Word (Romans 10:17). You must use it to pray with authority, in order to rebuke the enemy and his works. Remove any temptation from your mind, and then, you will be successful in all things.

Come near God and obey Him. Once you are close to Him, You will certainly feel His marvelous presence. With a simple order, your desires will be answered. God has not guided us to the Gospel for us to live in suffering, but to enjoy abundant life provided by Jesus (John 10:10b). Expect this moment!

Frankly speaking, if you do not believe in God’s existence, you lose a lot. He is sovereign, and when You know Him through Jesus, you become truly happy. The Creator does not want you to be false or to flatter Him to obtain His favor, but to discover that He is real and rewards those who seek Him. While you do not have evidence of His existence, you will not respect Him as God. He wants to reveal Himself to you!

When you believe in the Lord, you get rid of fear and uncertainties that control the heart of a man, and, instead of escaping from the enemy, you will face him. Your faith in God and in the Name of Jesus will make you the victorious person that the Omnipotent wants you to be (Romans 8:37). What you feel when you learn from the Lord shows that He is near you. Proceed in seeking the Truth and be completely delivered of your sins. Believe in the Word of God!

The joy that invades the heart of those who find the Lord is enough to make them victorious. The Bible says that you are an heir of the promises (Romans 8:17). Faith proves that you belong to God!

In Christ, with love,
