Take Action

Today's Scripture

"…faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" (James 2:17, NIV)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Have you ever met a person who prayed one way and spoke another? One minute they’re believing for their dreams to come to pass, and the next minute they're talking about how they're never going to get where they want to be. What they haven't realized is that their actions aren't working together with their faith. This lack of consistency doesn't do our prayers any good. God wants our words, actions and beliefs to work in agreement. Putting the right actions behind our faith gets His attention.

What are you believing for? You can put some action behind your prayers by talking like your situation is going to turn around. When you do, you're not just praying and believing — you're expecting.

If you don't see anything happening, choose today to put some action behind your prayers. Start making some new announcements like, "I am blessed. Whatever I touch prospers. My best days are in front of me." Speak your faith with confidence. As you praise God for His faithfulness, your faith will grow stronger. You'll also find peace knowing that you're one day closer to seeing your dreams come to pass.

A Prayer for Today

"Heavenly Father, search my heart today. Reveal any inconsistencies in my faith and actions. Starting today I choose to fully believe in all You have for me; I will walk by faith in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Ummmmm This liberal drivel was and is posted EVERYDAY in the news and activism section. It is then transferred by YOU, I presume, to the religious section.

I dont want to wake up to this filthy feel good liberal theology. So, if you could, tell vision to properly label this false gospel under religion when posting the original heretical thread. Thank you
