Faith is a Choice

 Faith is a decision.

I cannot trust God without the enabling presence and power of the Holy Spirit. God always wants to help me to trust God, but you must choose to believe and trust.

He speaks to me through testimonies. I hear or read stories of how God has supernaturally helped other people. 

I saw a video on You Tube. An American pastor prayed for hundreds of people suffering from Covid. Almost every person miraculously recovered, even those in intensive care.

Ken Fish Covid Healing

Pastor Ken Fish commanded the spirit of destruction to leave the sick people.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. Ps 91:5–6 NASB95

We can be strengthened in faith by the spiritual gifts of others, by the testimonies of miracles from others and by putting our trust in the promises of God in the Bible.

Two years ago two members of my family were in bed with Covid, while I cared for them. God protected me and I didn't get sick.

I encourage myself with this memory of God’s protection. I read Psalm 91.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armour and protection. Ps 91:3–4 NLT

A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Ps 91:7 NKJV

God encourages and enables us to trust in so many ways but in the end, faith is a decision. You must choose to believe and trust.

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. Ps 56:3 NKJV
