How have you grown in faith in the past year?
September 5, 2011
During our wedding reception, my wife and I wanted to honor God first and foremost. The ceremony did not contain a sermon because we wanted to emphasize that we were coming together because of God's words to us personally and directly. During the ceremony, the Pastor stated that we were coming together because we believe that God told us to marry each other. So, during the reception, we had prophetic ministry - the first time together. I have to admit that I wanted to call out demons and give words to tons of people, but it did not happen that way. Although I had been disappointed with how the prophetic ministry went and wonder if it achieve honor for God, yesterday, my wife met with one of the people that I communicated to during that time. When I saw the person, I saw an airplane and the word traveling came to me. I did not know what it meant, but I communicated that picture to the person.Last night, my wife came home and told me that the person wanted her to tell me that it happened. The person is traveling two times a week for work. When my wife told me that, I thought about how faith goes against all odds and believes despite what is happening. Although I was discouraged, I still believed that God will speak to others through us and I took that step of faith during our wedding reception. And, to know that that God has blessed our efforts and showed us that He indeed spoke through us during that time is a blessing indeed. Faith is not based on a how great one feels with God one day and how discouraged one feels another day. Faith is just believing that is true despite what the world tells us. Faith is believing God and taking Him at His word. And, this is how the righteous live, but faith, not be sight.

Maybe it would be better if God could answer that question for me.
I think I have grown in mercy and grace - in being able to receive it from God, as well as in granting it to others.
@cerwindoris - If you seek the Lord with your heart, you will hear Him for it is written that His sheep hears His voice. May He continue to teach you, mold you, and guide in His righteous path for His name sake.
