ACE #328: Faith It Until You Make It

About a year and half ago, the Lord spoke something to my wife about helping the body of Christ when the church building is not available. At that particular time, we both were involved in other ministries and we did not quite understand what God was doing. So, we prayed, collectively and individually. And the Lord confirmed that we were to begin The 'After Church' Experience, or The ACE. I just knew it was the Lord’s plan because I don’t like to write or type. So, in faith, we began preparing The ACE - not knowing what this would be. We just moved into action and we started blogging our witness. We are not sure where the Lord is going with this. We just wanted to be obedient and faithful in what He is doing through the marriage ministry of Team Lewis. We are hoping that when it is all said and done and He returns for His elect that He is pleased with our faith in this part of our witness.

In the book of Hebrews, the Bible collectively witnesses the faith of so many who decided to do what the Lord spoke. Not only did they do it, they also believed and trusted that it would go according to His good and perfect will. Because of their faith, these witnesses were able to act on the calling and wait on the Lord to do His will.

In the Lord’s will and in His assignments, the outcome is according to Him. What we want it to be may not be what He planned it to be. Therefore, our faith has to be the confidence in what we hope for will actually happen. Our faith gives us assurance about the things we cannot see. In other words, if it doesn’t look like we want it to, it is working according to His plan to gather His elect in paradise, when it is established in Him.

Our faith will take us places that will prepare us to meet Him. Understanding that we did not write the plan will help us operate our faith in our witness. God is using The ACE to establish us as faithful witnesses as well as move His word outside of the four walls of the church building. He will use how He sees it necessary to bring people to Him. We just have to remain in faith and trust that it is working for the good. In other words, "Faith it until we make it."
