Hello Godstimers!
The month of June has been very busy. Summer is always busy with lots of activities and events but this year has been by far the busiest so much to do but little time, 24 hours a day is no longer enough!
I pray God gives us more time management to devote to His work. How can we find balance with our personal obligations and serving God, or is there anything as such? I believe there is a balance and the more we seek the face of God we truly will get there, our divine purpose will manifest. Trust God. Keep praying! Ask for it!
Pray THIS : dear Lord, I need your divine help in my schedule, managing life obligations and ultimately want to do your will. I can not do this without you. Thank you in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. AMEN

This brings me to FAITH.
What is Faith? How do we activate Faith? Is it a feeling? a thought? an action? a spoken word?
While researching on the "refiner's fire" I came across some major women of Faith in the bible. The lessons learned are such eye openers.
Faith in my opinion is openly declaring that God is in control and not us. Accepting that Jesus has already declare our freedom on the cross by giving us GRACE! Faith is activating Grace. Praise God for this revelation!
Studying The Faith of a Canaanite Woman Matthew15: 21-28
21Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Lesson #1: Crying does not work. vs22
Lesson #2: Jesus does not respond to our faithless loud cry. vs23
Lesson #3: Do not be chased away for crying too much and bothering others. vs23
Lesson #4: Worship must be done with the right intention not to get answers from God but to acknowledge, reverence, glorify and magnify our God! vs25
Lesson #5: Humility and acceptance of God's word and response is key. God's answers are usually yes, no, wait or take this for now. Express your FAITH in God, speak life. Accept God's timing. God knows best for what we need. vs27
Lesson #6: God responds to our attitude of Faith. The way we receive blessings and challenges are very important key to our breakthrough. Stay thankful NO MATTER WHAT! vs 28

FAITH is the divine currency for exchange not tears, pity, desperation, manipulation or doubt.
Jesus told her, "Daughter, your FAITH has made you well. Go in peace! Be cured from your illness [challenge, fear, pain]. Mark5:34
