July 14, 2024: Freedom in Faith

In continuing her Freedom series, Pastor Nicole asked two questions:

-Am I seeing in my life what I say I believe to be true about God?

-Does what I say I believe to be true about God actually line up with Scripture?

Pastor Nicole said that there can be incongruency between what we say we believe about God and what we actually see in our lives. She said that these "gaps" are not necessarily the problem because the awareness of those gaps drive us forward into experiencing the truth of who God is. Our view of who God is can be skewed and it is only by believing who God says He is, and believing God will do what He says He will do that the gap is closed. This is using our faith.

We have an incredible gift of faith! When God shows us a gap it is an invitation to step out of our reality into His reality. It's not about getting the outcomes we hoped for but continuing to believe regardless! It's not about us falling short, it's an invitation to experience more of God. It is an invitation to believe Him in the midst of impossible situations. Ephesians 3:17 (TPT) Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you. Walking in the freedom of faith transforms us!
