There are two types of people in this world: those who give up and those who press on in faith. One's life leaves a trail of evidence that shows whether they truly believe in God or doubt Him. Faith is the evidence of things unseen; one must walk by faith, not by sight, and allow God's Spirit to lead them rather than their flesh. Life presents obstacles, but through Christ one has the tools to overcome all challenges. One must not waver in their faith, resist the devil, and believe God's promises. To please God, one must walk by faith in Him and His word, not rely on their own understanding.

1. Evidence by Robert Woeger
There are two kinds of people in the world. There are those who give up and those who determine to press in.
Your life will leave a trail of evidence that can be examined to see what you believe. What you believe will
control you! You are continually examined to see if you truly have faith in God or you choose to doubt God.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1. God desires
you to walk by Faith in Him, and not to be influenced, or led, by your circumstances, or by what you see.
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5:7. You will either allow God’s Spirit to lead you,
or you will allow your flesh to lead you. “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15. Life is a journey! You will succeed or
fail, as a result of the choices that you make. You have every tool, through Christ, that you need to overcome
all obstacles you encounter. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13.
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39. Do not waver in your faith. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7. “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper...”
Isaiah 54:17. Believe God! You will either be led by God’s Spirit or you will allow your flesh to lead you.
Never rely on your own wisdom or understanding! God’s Ways are not your ways. God is seeking those with
a pure and contrite heart, who are humble and are yielded to Him, and are willing to be instructed and follow
after His Ways. Obedience shows Jesus that you love Him. Disobedience and disrespect show you are not
willing to be led by God’s Spirit and you have been deceived into believing that you know better than God,
desiring to live on your own, in sin, making your own choices, being separated and independent from God.
Strive to be faithful. “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2.
God desires you to have an enduring faith in Him, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, always walking in His Joy,
which maintains your strength, and keeps the enemy from being able to steal God’s Word and other things.
Rejoice, give thanks to God, and remain humble. “...the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10.
Be diligent, not allowing anything to cause you to complain, doubt, or disbelieve God, God’s Word, or Jesus.
Unbelief, fears, indecision, cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, will separate you from God.
“...whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Romans 14:23. Always put God first in your life. Anything you place
before God, including yourself, is the sin of idolatry. “...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37. Be sure to love one another. When things take
longer than expected to come to pass, many people start to doubt God, and complain or murmur against Him.
To hurry God is to find fault with Him! Pride will cause you to think that you know better than God. “In
every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18-19. Always seek to know God’s Will. “...not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42.
Agree 100% with God’s Word. Allow It to renew your mind and change your thinking, for the carnal mind
is the enemy of God. See Romans 8:7. “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh.” Galatians 5:16. Watch out for unbelief and traditions of men that limit God. Believe and confess
the solution that God Said in His Word. Do not look to, or confess, your circumstances! Your words will
either speak life or death. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...” Proverbs 18:21. Watch out for
being double minded, where you promise one thing to God and act in a contrary manner. Without faith, you
can’t please God. Faith must always be confirmed by your words, thoughts and actions. “Jesus said...If thou
canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23. See James 1:6-8. Have faith in God.
When you walk by sight, you deny God. When you walk by faith, you please God, because you rely on Him.
