FAITH DEVELOPED OR DESTROYED?
FROM A GETHSEMANE EXPERIENCE TO THE EVIDENCE OF FAITH
Matt. 26:36-46
Life in and of itself has challenges and challenges are designed to cripple or deter us from what God has in store for us. Jesus, in his humanity, experienced the battle between the flesh and the spirit; therefore, he decided to have a Gethsemane encounter where he submitted himself to prayer which resulted in being touched by God, allowing Him to rise in victory and walk with faith towards His calling. What sent him to the garden? His purpose sent him to the garden. You will, often times, have a battle between the flesh and the spirit when fulfilling your purpose. As a result, this should ultimately lead you to have a Gethsemane experience and because of this experience, while expressing a dependency on God, (prayer), will give birth to you walking by faith and not by sight. As Jesus was experiencing God, there’s some tension in the story that those who were a part of his inner circle did not understand the importance of practicing spiritual formation—the power of silence, solitude and prayer—when communing with God! Jesus wants us, as a community, to practice spiritual formation.
WORKSHOP: FAITH DEVELOPED OR DESTROYED?
How can you develop or destroy your faith? Are you warring in your own spirit? Do you question God’s sovereignty? It is possible that a variety of things in your life are causing you to feel a loss of faith. Loss comes from misunderstandings, personality conflicts, tragic circumstances, ill treatment and our own ignorance. Whether it is stress, trauma, grief, or just feeling a disconnect from God and the world around you, Sisters, what can YOU DO to develop your faith so that in all and through all, God gets the glory. Remember when Jesus asked his disciples, “Where is your faith?” This session will challenge you to grow and develop a stronger relationship with God.
