Pastor Jake shares Wednesday in Miles City.
Faith responds to the Word of God. Responding to the Word leads to blessing. It's far better to respond and be in the will of God, then to reject and be out of the will of God.
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is evidence that PROVES what is not seen.Hebrews 11:6

Responding to the Lord is what caused blessing. Just hearing and waiting produces nothing.Hebrews 11:32-35
These people saw quick victories in their life, but victories aren't always quick. What are we going to do when the victories aren't quick? Will we stay the course or give up?Hebrews 10:35

Hold fast to your faith in God and what He told you.Hebrews 11:35Faith enabled them to endure.1 Timothy 2:3-4Hebrews 11:35-40These people lived by faith no matter what came their way.Hebrews 12:2-4Look away from the natural and focus on Jesus.

God is faithful, and He will do what He says.Genesis 37:1-8
Joseph was a man that had a dream from God and endured many years and many trails before it came to pass. But he stayed faithful and saw the promise.Hebrews 11:22
The faith that Joseph lived by inspired him to see the future and prophesy the exodus of Israel from Egypt.Joseph's faith affected generations. Your faith matters. What you believe matters. What you DO with what you believe matters. Faith will motivate you. Faith will enable you to endure. Faith will strengthen you. DON'T GIVE UP!
