Working Our Faith

God has promised his people many great and wonderful things and all of his promises are true, but why are so many not experiencing the promises?
Have you often wondered about this same thing?
Hebrews 11:6 says "but without faith it is impossible to please Him..."
Is the answer to our question, we are not pleasing to God, because of our lack of faith?
Let's look at this a bit closer. 
The remainder of that scripture Hebrews 11:6 is "...for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
He who comes inquiring of God must first believe that he truly exist, and the more that he seeks to know God, the more he discovers; who, what and how God is.
This discovery of how wonderful, powerful, faithful and awesome he is, is our reward to of faith to trust him more and more.
God wants to be trusted.  It is our faith in his word and knowing his love and faithfulness towards us, that causes the word to be manifest.
You like to be trusted don't you? 
Isn't it amazing, that even those not trustworthy want to be trusted.
Numbers 23:19 says "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do?  Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
God has proven over the ages that he is trustworthy. 
We must have faith in God, which means faith in his word.
John 1:1" In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."
Our recipe for manifested promises is a mustard seed size faith, mixed with the word, and bunches of love will yield an abundance of life.
So, let's get to working our faith.
