KNOWING IS FAITH IN ACTION!KNOWING GODS PROMISES!SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD…..SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE GOD!…I BELIEVE HIM!!
i have seen and i have touch but i never take away my faith ,not,not!
God is like the wind, you can’t see him, but you can feel him.
They tell you to surrender to God or to Christ. They say that is the way to be saved. I tell people that you are not saved until you get there. To surrender implies some kind of battle, I dedicate myself to my faith and to my God , Yahweh. To me , it was by my intellect that I was drawn to Yahweh and yahshua his son. Faith to me is not surrendering at all , but a dedication of yourself to serving him, believing in him and trusting in him even when all hope is lost at times.
