The love his patient

It is very easy to lack patience in the Christian life : it is enough to be carnal. To be carnal is not always to live or to fall into sin, but sometimes it is simply the lack of perseverance, of being discouraged, of putting our faith in tune with the passage of time.

Have you ever prayed for someone, for example for a few days, weeks or months, and discouraged yourself by not seeing any change in that person ? So you stopped praying, discouraged by the circumstances and the passing of time ? I believe that to become truly powerful in prayer, and in love, we must live in the dimension of our Heavenly Father, that is, out of time, in a sphere of faith that will never say "stop" Even after death.

We see through Abel, Enoch, Jacob, and others, in Hebrews chapter 11, that these people had a faith that went beyond their lives. Oh, the faith of Joseph was strong, as this verse says : "By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the Israelites going out of Egypt, and gave orders concerning his bones" (Hebrews 11:22). His faith continued to be effective even after his death ! And what about Abraham, the father of faith ?

We sometimes pray for the salvation of our loved ones, and we must learn that love is patient, continuing to declare with perseverance that they will not leave this earth without having made peace with God, without having met Jesus personally. And even if we had to leave before them, we put our faith in action so that before their death, they live this experience.

Faith in God is powerful. Faith sees farther than circumstances, farther than impossibilities, farther than time. Living faith in God is liberated by prayer, by our words, by our actions.
