FAITH
IN GOD
WORKS MIRACLES
by Pastor Max
Solbrekken
"And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21)
"If
you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
(Mark
9:23)
- JESUS CHRIST
This world is divided into two groups: those who make it
happen and those who ask, "What happened?"
The battle lines are drawn
between believers and unbelievers, optimists and pessimists;
people of action and those who sit on their
hands!
Faith is action, not just
words. And faith in God works miracles!
The Bible says,
"Faith without work is dead..." (James 2:26) Faith
sets the wheels in motion and gets the job done!
Although our believing
gets results, we must have patience and perseverance. That's
why King David said, "Submit thy way unto the Lord,
trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass".
(Psalms 37:5)
Sometimes we hit dry holes
or times of discouragement, slip a step or two backwards or
even take a fall. If this happens, we pick ourselves up,
square our shoulders and march
forward.
So we keep on keeping on,
regardless of tough times, the handicap under which we
labour or the awkward situation we may find ourselves in.
CHRISTIANS
LEAD THE WAY!
A perfect example is
Magnus Patricus who returned to pagan Ireland in the fifth
century as a missionary and preached the Gospel of Christ to
the same Druids who had kidnapped him!
That man - known today as
St. Patrick - was such a revolutionary for God that during a
30-year-period, he won 100,000 pagans to Christ and changed
the course of Ireland!
Only a Spirit-filled
Evangelical crusader could have done what Francis Xavier
accomplished for the Lord in the 16th Century.
He wanted to become an
engineer, so that he would be remembered. Someone encouraged
him to enter the ministry. I'm sure he must have been
influenced by the writings of Martin Luther, because he
became a flaming Missionary Evangelist! A great revival
broke loose in India and 30,000 Hindus were converted to
Christ and baptized. His heart yearned to reach the pagan
land of China with the Gospel, but all doors were
closed.
Francis Xavier died in
1552 at 46 years of age still trying to negotiate entry into
China. Just before his death he cried out: "O'
Thou Great Wall, when wilt thou open so that the Rock (Jesus
Christ) can come inside"?
Evangelical preacher,
Billy Graham continues to be a conscience to the world,
preaching the Gospel and reminding everyone that the 'Blood
of Jesus Christ' shed by God's eternal Son on Golgotha -
so many years ago - to atone for our sins!
At 80 years of age, God's 'great
trumpeter', has no plans to retire, even though he has
recently suffered ill health and weakness. A study of Billy
Graham's life is indeed a study in faith!
CHECKING
OUT THE POLITICIANS!
Who can not help but
admire former USA President Ronald Reagan who fought so long
to get the top job in that country? His presidency surged
with energy and optimism even after an assassin's attempt on
his life. His legacy will always be the defeat of world
communism and the dissolution of the "Evil
(USSR) Empire"!
Even now, as he battles
the unremitting Alzheimer's disease, he keeps his chin up
and outlook bright!
We must mention "the
little guy from Chiwingan", PM Jean Chretian, the
politician constantly referred to during the last election
as "Yesterday's Man"! Although his
credibility has been badly damaged due to the disastrous
outcome of the last Quebec Referendum - many charge him of
being asleep at the wheel - Chretian is nevertheless a man
of remarkable courage and determination. He won the last
election by promising 'JOBS, JOBS, JOBS' and told Canadians
to simply relax and feel good about themselves, and it
worked!
HOW SAD, HOWEVER, THAT
EARLY THIS YEAR MOST CANADIANS WERE UNHAPPY, DEPRESSED AND
FELLING HOPELESS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE. AND ACCORDING TO A NEW
UN REPORT, CANADA HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF SUICIDES ANYWHERE
IN THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD!
Without doubt, our nation
has drifted away from our moral moorings by listening to the
secularist, immoral and perverted pleadings of the
out-of-step segment of politicians and media, who seek to
justify their own unrighteous life-styles by brainwashing
others to do the same!
And what of the man who is
seeking his job, Preston Manning, the leader of the feisty
group of Reform Party MP's? Although they have been derided
and dismissed as a viable alternative to the tired old
political parties, the son of Alberta's former
unreproachable Premier Ernest C. Manning, is sounding more
Prime Ministerial all the time!
At least Preston Manning
has a sensible and realistic approach to the possibility of
our nation's break-up, the necessity of changing our
open-ended immigration policy and getting Canada's financial
house in order!
When you consider his
roots, dedication and his clear-headed common sensible
thinking, it would certainly not surprise me, if one day he
rises to the very top! With the recent passing of Ernest C.
Manning - the man called 'the Father of Modern Alberta'
- many are longing for that kind of leadership from his son!
TWO GROUPS:
BUILDERS & WRECKING CREW!
While many would shirk
from their post and shrink away in fear, others stand up and
are counted as men of faith. They have faith in God and that
is the most important. Then, everything else falls into
place!
THE PESSIMIST &
THE OPTIMIST
I am an optimist with
trust in God for today and hope for the future!
The pessimist is a prophet of doom while
the optimist is a bearer of glad tidings. Pessimism is born
of unbelief and is a negative force while optimism is the
product of faith and is a positive power!
Pessimism kills,
negativism destroys, but optimism gives opportunity the
chance to knock on your door. There is nothing as dull and
lifeless as pessimism and nothing as refreshing as optimism!
A pessimist breeds discouragement in the livers of others,
while an optimist multiplies the glow in his heart to those
around him!
There have always been two
groups in every society: the ones who create problems and
those who solve them! Some are part of the 'builders'
and others make up the 'wrecking crew'. A certain
element likes to create chaos and are labeled 'trouble
makers', while others seek to negotiate as 'peace
makers'.
Jesus rebuked His
disciples after His resurrection for "their
unbelief and hardness of heart because they believed not
that He was risen from the dead"!
Herein lies the tragedy.
Far too many are guilty of these two sins - unbelief and
hardness of heart - today!
Unbelief is sin and the
very opposite of faith, and a hard heart can be cruel,
condemning, judgmental and critical! I would far sooner be "an
easy mark" for those seeking to 'con' me, than to
be guilty of being hard-hearted!
Only a real encounter with
Jesus Christ can change the heart of man. The Bible says,
"Without faith it is impossible to please God".
(Heb. 1:6), but if we can believe, all things are possible!
And that is the very best
news!
