Faith Without Works

My brother and I had a conversation a couple of days ago about having faith without works is dead.  What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? (James 2:14 [NKJV]).  In this context, works means what are you doing to show you have faith.  Having faith without trust is dead to God.  When we pray and ask God for certain things, we are commanded by God to have 100% faith.  Although, we tell ourselves and others we have faith, is it 100%.  Here is the test.  After you put in your request(s) to God, do you turn it over to Him and not focus on it anymore or do you still worry about it?  If you are yet worried, guess what?  You are not being 100% faithful; maybe 99%, but not 100%.

We are human and, at times, our flesh gets in the way.  Our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak.  We need to learn how to truly believe and trust in God 100%.  Just think how much easier our lives would be if we are worry-free.

God we ask that you bless us with more faith; that you bless us to be able turn over our situations to you and let go.  In Jesus name, we pray.  Amen.
