simple faith

" Being a Christian is not hard... all you need to do is pray and read your bible as you wake up every morning, and go to cell group and church when you have to ".

when someone makes fun of your faith... what do you do?
when someone rejects you for what you believe in...
when what you stand for doesn't seem worth it ...
when you fell into temptations, feeling lost and hopeless...
when you are feeling bitter, not willing to forgive and forget...
when we feel unworthy being called the children of God after confessing our sins...
all those times we have disappointed our loved ones...
all those times They failed us...
our solution is to pray and read our bible... then go church when we have to?
can we trully say that Christian have the simplest of lives. No. bible said that 'we are not of the world'. so...i suppose this means life is overrated and we should lower down our expectations?

what was my pastor trying to say then? ...
simple faith?
we have a close relationship with God, we have the gift of tongue, we can prohesy, we can bless, we can heal, we can have wisdom, strength, blessings and vision ... all this through prayer?

we have the authority... through the blood and the name of Jesus?

simple faith... this is what i pray for.

with simple faith..
there will be less cynicism, less doubts, less distracting thoughts and less distortion of the presence of God...
thus, God will move...touching lives, healing souls, burning the passion in us for His name and revealing His plans to us.
