FAITH...

   I like using Bible verses because that what I was raised on and that what I turn to in times of doubt when science fails me. so lets look at at faith. why faith you ask? unlike love that can be maddening, faith can drive a person to the other complete other spectrum.

  Many a man, woman, solider soldier, Politian, cleric, liberal, average every day person has laid down their very life for belief's, their faith if you will. they were not forced they chose to do so. They chose to sacrifice their life to idea of martyrdom to shine the light of awareness to greater need. They made a choice to make the ultimate Sacrifice.

The Holy Bible say's; Hebrews 11

 

King James Bible

Faith is Being Sure

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Before I get in this interpretation I want to tell you all I had to take a time out because I had a 

struggle with my own faith. I Didn't think I could write this being objective, but now I realize 

that I can and I will do the best job I can and the rest is up to you and God if you Believe to

do the rest. You see to have any faith at all at first you must be hope. 

Hope is defined by Merriam-websister; as someone or something on which hopes are centered our 

only hope for victory. Many times our hope are based on our need, wants ands desire. Hope is similar to 

faith in many characteristics but you are not applying this this in man you are apply this to God whom has 

his own set off rules to follow.

Some people say hoping is like wishing for something, Others think its like positive thinking, you putting out 

positive energy out in the universe and it will give you what you ask for. That's not it either. To me Hope is 

one side of a two headed coin, or to use another metaphor one edge of a two edge sword. Notice I used 

two thing with delayed but purposeful action. They both have power but only when unleashed in 

the proper manner.

Jesus would send his disciples out to remove, (cast out) demons, evil spirits and host from peoples

peoples bodies but they they failed. But when Christ came on the science he sent the entity screaming

running away. They would ask him, "My Lord we tried but why could we not cast the demon out?",

he replied, "because you lack faith". He didn't say hope, they had the desire or they wouldn't have been 

there in the first place. what was missing was the unquestioning, burning truth that God would remove

remove that spirit from it host and give that person peace. 

In modern times you could say faith is like walking into a dark room and looking for a light switch, 

"hoping" to find one, then yeah! you find a switch, somewhere in your mind you think this should turn 

on the lights but your not sure, you flip the switch by faith and the lights come on and you carry on

on with your your business. That is a real crude example of faith and hope but you get what I an saying

I will get into more details later but for now lets get back to why the disciples  could not cast the demon

from that person.
