Greetings,
Over the days I am going to share real life events who thought they were using faith but really were simply operating in Foolishness.
True Story from a Pastor.
God sent him across the country to Preach, Teach a series.
So he fueled up his plane and left.
Now on his way back he ran into one of those freak storms that pop up unexpected.
It pushed him all around and way off course. In fact he was so far off course that he knew he did not have enough fuel to get back.
So as he is a faith man he began to pray in the Spirit and believe God would get him back. He refused to give into fear.
When he landed back home the man who services the plane did his normal inspection.
After he finished he refueled the plane.
He then called the pastor over and the pastor asked why he looked so confused.
The man said after logging your planned flight course and actual flight course he had discovered it is totally impossible to fly that distance. These planes just don't hold that much fuel but here you are.
Then he shows the pastor the amount of fuel the plane took. It showed he still had like 18 gallons of fuel left when he landed and says, these planes just don't hold that much fuel and you should have less then ghat if you had stayed on course. He walked off shaking his head muttering , they just don't hold that much fuel.
Now that was Real Faith Inspired by God.
Now then that Sunday the Pastor shared this testimony with his church.
Now there was a family there who are dedicated Christians. After the service they piled in their car and headed home.
A little ways before the gas station his wife said you better stop and fill up or we won't make it home.
He blew by the gas station and said if God will put gas in the pastors plane He can put gas in his car.
Three miles down the road they ran out of gas. He could not understand why God would not help him like he helped the pastor.
That was Foolishness in which he called faith and God us not going to do it.
1. He had money in his pocket
2. He knew he needed gas.
3 he chose to not stop and drive by.
Friends Faith Works but you just can not come up with what ever and decide you will use Faith and God will respond.
Blessings
