Living the Life of Faith

By Felicia Coleman

Living the Life of FAITH is going to take you to a level of faith where trusting in the ability of GOD will be your first response to any situation or circumstance in life without depending on this world's system or your own ability. Faith outside of the word of GOD is no way to live. We need to grab hold to GOD's word like never before and cleave to the promises that he has made for us through the Bible. We need to know it is GOD's will and desire for his children to live a blessed, prosperous, healthy, and happy life. We need to know that we can live this life through faith in GOD and overcome difficult times and challenges in life. In order to do this, we need to know GOD and how he has sent his word to us. We must know how the power of GOD worked in the lives of people in the Bible and that power is still available for us today to change situations and circumstances on our behalf today no matter what we are facing. It is up to us to take our faith out of this world's system and put it in GOD's system. This book will be an inspiration for you to redirect your faith to GOD and lean on GOD for direction in your life. GOD is good and he wants to see good things happen in the lives of his children. We can experience the life that GOD intended for us to have through understanding and accepting the love and the grace of GOD that has been given to us through faith in Jesus Christ.

Felicia Coleman is an author who writes out of her heart and passion for the word of God. As a woman of faith, she has found the joy of having a personal relationship with God beyond the church walls. She believes having a personal relationship with God is vital. Although Felicia was raised in a Christian family and accepted Christ at an early age, she did not fully embrace her faith until many years later, giving her a new purpose. Being an author was never an intended goal, but Felicia’s love for God and reading books inspired her to take a leap of faith and write. Felicia is excited about bringing spiritual inspiration and encouragement through her writing. Her personal message to others is never let your past hinder from experiencing God’s divine purpose and grace for your life.

About the Author

INTRODUCTION

Today more than ever, there seem to be constant talks of hopelessness. Hopelessness about the economy, cost of living, politics, natural disasters, education, unemployment, and more. But feeling hopelessness has the potential to come from what, where, and to whom you have decided to give your attention and faith. Do you choose to believe that tomorrow will be a better day, or do you believe that tomorrow will just be another day where things will never change? No matter where you are today, I want to encourage you to acknowledge your current situation, whether it is good or bad. Take a step forward and challenge yourself to go higher regardless of what lies in front of you at this very moment. It will require faith, which can be directed toward the positive or negative. Positive faith is depending on God and aligning your words, thoughts, and emotions to believe for the most favorable outcome in your situation. Trusting in God about situations instead of worrying. Negative faith is aligning your words, thoughts, and emotions with the unfavorable situation at hand without depending on God. Worrying about situations instead of trusting in God.

My prayer is that as you read this book, you will embrace living the life of faith by trusting God. God can take the words off the pages in this book and personalize them to you based on your situation in life. There are stories in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible that show us how different people dealt with situations based on how and where they decided to direct their faith. Living the life of faith is something that everyone does daily. This book is intended to encourage you to align or realign your faith in God.

Ten years ago, I wrote this book because I wanted to share with others about living the life of faith depending on God. Over the years, my spiritual maturity and personal growth have been impacted by life experiences that led me to republish this book. Things may change and people may change but no matter what, God is still good, and living the life of faith in God remains as true today as it was ten years ago. Republishing this book had been in my heart for several years, but I just didn’t follow through. Thank God for His grace and mercy that gives us the ability and the courage to take a step of faith amid past mistakes, procrastination, and just life with its numerous ups and downs. May God bless you and the time you have devoted to reading my book. Please know that I do not take it for granted. I hope this book will bring encouragement to you in living the life of faith.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

Where do you find peace when peace seems nowhere to be found? Where do you find joy when you experience moments filled with disappointments or unexpected changes to your plans in life? Where do you find love when you feel no one cares about you and what you are going through? God is the answer to each of those questions. The type of peace and unconditional love that will never leave you throughout life no matter where you go and what you do is found in God. God loves you and wants to be a part of your life.

This world is full of people and material things which leads to us often looking for peace, joy, and love. God has made these things available to us by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and offering us the gift of salvation. Salvation is a
