An Act Of Faith
    
"Cornelius stared at him in terror. 'What is it, sir?' he asked the angel. And the angel replied, Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering! Now send some men to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter." Acts 10:4-5 (NLT)
 
Cornelius had sought the Lord in prayer, and he was heard! Cornelius's prayers were supported by his faithful actions of giving to the poor. The Lord was going to impart to him the salvation that is found through Jesus, but to receive this great gift it was going to take an act of faith on Cornelius's part. He was going to have to send men to retrieve Peter exactly the way he had been told. Cornelius acted on God's Word and received his ANSWERED PRAYER!
 
Everything we receive from the Lord is by grace through faith. God blesses us not because He has to, but because He wants to. And, everything we receive from the Lord must be received by faith. Faith is acting on the word of God even though there is no physical or temporal evidence to prove its validity. It is only when we act on the word of God that we receive the promises of God. James wrote, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." Real faith that receives the promises of God is always moved to action! If you have received a word from God today, act on it! Whether through God's spoken word to your heart or His written word, if you want the promises of God manifested in your life, you must act on them!
 
"But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds."
James 2:18 (NIV)
