Let Your Faith Be Stronger than Your Feelings and an Altar Call!

Bill Keller republished a devotional today that I
recommend to you for your consideration.  It has food for
thought.  He has given me permission to copy his e-mails,
and I'm sure he would be happy if you would share this
with people you know as well.

He also includes an altar call to accept Jesus that you
can use to help bring people to Jesus!

Please read on.

IN CELEBRATION OF LIVEPRAYER'S 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, TODAY
I HAVE CHOSEN ONE OF THE LIFE-CHANGING DAILY DEVOTIONALS
FROM YEAR ONE (8/99-7/00). 

from Monday May 29, 2000

Faith is what we believe, not how we feel.  One of the
requests I get daily is from people who just don't "feel"
God.  Or, they were once "on fire" for the Lord and just
don't "feel" Him like they once did.  Don't make the
mistake of judging your relationship with the Lord, or
your service to God based on how you feel.  Our
relationship with Christ isn't an emotional experience. 
We accept Christ by FAITH.  It is a relationship built on
"faith" and not "feelings."

Feelings will betray you since they can change from
day-to-day, even minute to minute.  Our faith, however, is
not based on how we feel, but what we believe.  Just like
your feeling may change in regard to your spouse, parents,
children, friends..it doesn't stop them from being who they
are in your life.  You accepted Christ by faith.  Our
relationship with Him is one of faith.  Just because your
feelings may change, your relationship with Him does not.

As you mature in Christ, as those who have walked years
with the Lord can attest, you rely less on how you might
feel and more on your faith.  The wonderful thing is that
God is the same "yesterday, and today, and forever." God
is immutable, a $5 theological term that means "unchanging."   
So regardless of how you might feel, God is always the same. 
His promises are the same, He is the same, there are no
surprises from God.  He doesn't change the rules on you at
a whim.  His love, His concern for you never diminishes or
fades away.

The longer you walk with Christ, the better you get to
know Him, the more you realize that you don't have to rely
on how you feel.  You can count on your faith, what you
believe to guide you through this journey because God
never changes.

For many people, this is a big hurdle to cross over.  The
hurdle of feelings versus faith.  I will be praying for
you today to really understand that you don't have to
count on the way you feel to determine your walk with
Christ.  It is not measured by goose bumps.

That is why I stress so much the daily time with Him. 
The 30 minutes or so at the start of the day in the Word
and prayer.  Just like you can never develop much of a
relationship with your friends without actually spending
time with them, so it is with your relationship with
Christ.  How can you have a relationship with Him, when
you never spend time alone with Him?

I love you and care about you so much.  Today is the day
we go to church, our focus tends to be on God and the
things of God.  I pray that you overcome the hurdle of
feelings versus faith, and really commit to having a
serious relationship with Christ.  That doesn't happen
overnight, just like an earthly relationship doesn't
happen overnight.  It is a day-to-day commitment.  Make
that commitment today.  Luckily for us, He never changes,
so He is waiting for you.

Thank you for your love and for your prayers and for
your sacrifice to help me reach the lost and hurting
masses for Christ!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
