Hebrews 11:1 Being Sure
Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see..Hebrews 11:1 Faith determines our relationship with God-how we deal with Him and how we see Him as the savior. Faith grabs hold of the truth in God's Word and is energized and inspired by His holy fire.God is the great objective of faith,for faith rests its whole weight on His word. Faith is not an aimless act of the soul, but a looking to God and trusting in His promises. Faith is not believing just anything. It is believing God,resting in Him and trusting His word.....So with that said I shall pray ;;;;;;;;Father God,it is my desire to be conscious of You all the time.Please increase my faith so that I will look to You and rest in Your promises...Amen.

Job 1:1 - 1:22
Job 1:1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
Job 1:2 He had seven sons and three daughters,
Job 1:3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.
Job 1:4 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
Job 1:5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom.
Job 1:6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
Job 1:7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."
Job 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."
Job 1:9 "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied.
Job 1:10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.
Job 1:11 But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face."
Job 1:12 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
Job 1:13 One day when Job's sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house,
Job 1:14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
Job 1:15 and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:16 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, "The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, "Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house,
Job 1:19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!"
Job 1:20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship
Job 1:21 and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."
Job 1:22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Wholeness through Prayer Philippians 3:7
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ...Philippians3:7 Prayer has to do with the whole being of a person. When a person prays,he does so with his whole nature. When he receives benefits in prayer,it involves his whole being. The largest results of praying come to him who gives himself-all of himself,all that belongs to himself-to God. This is the secret of full consecration and the sort of praying that produces the largest fruit.
