A Note from Our Friend Pat


There are two ways we can live our lives. 

 We can either live by the senses or we can live by faith.  The flesh wants us to live by our senses.  It wants to be god to us by revealing the "truth" to us.  When we are ill, the flesh tells us "You are ill. Just look at your fever.  See I told you that you're ill.  Feel the pain."  Faith on the other hand tells us what God says about sickness. 
 Faith declares that "by His strips we are healed."  Faith does not rely on "physical evidence," It depends on what the Bible says. If we choose to live by our senses, we are subject to every, hurt, disaster, plague, and misfortune that the devil can come up with.  When we decide to live by faith, we are choosing to relax in the arms of God himself.  We are making a decision to live in the knowledge that God will never leave us or forsake us.  Live by faith and we will enjoy Heaven on Earth.  When  we live by faith we can say,
  "Take my will, and make it Thine,
   It shall be no longer mine;
  Take my heart, it is Thine own;
  It shall be Thy royal throne."
