Where is your faith?

Where is your faith?
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 14:1
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

What you believe and who you believe determines whether your heart is at rest or whether your heart is troubled.

If your heart is troubled today, my question to you is, What are you believing? Whom are you believing? A troubled heart is evidence you are not trusting the Lord, not trusting His word. Jesus asked His disciples when they were troubled at the waves and winds that came against their boat,  'Where is your faith?'. In other words Jesus was asking them, On whom and on what have you placed your faith? Jesus was saying, Why don't you believe me and my words?. When you believe the Lord and his word, you experience perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 says, 'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.' 

When you believe people, words and circumstances that are contrary to God's word, you will be stressed, troubled and disturbed. I encourage you to place your faith on the word of God and enjoy perfect peace. Irrespective of what's happening around you, the word of God in your mouth and in your heart will keep you from being troubled and help you overcome any trouble. Examine yourself! Where is my faith?

"My faith is on Jesus. My faith is on the word of God. Therefore I am not troubled, I enjoy perfect peace.  My mind is fixed on the Lord and His word is in my mouth and in my heart in abundance. Hallelujah."
