You've made it to the final episode of Season 3—but this isn't the finish line. It's the starting line for the rest of your life.

Welcome to the Season 3 finale of FaithFinder: Activated Faith — From Belief to Bold Living.

Throughout this season, we've challenged one another to move beyond talking about faith and begin living it. We've discovered that biblical faith is far more than positive thinking, hopeful words, or occasional acts of courage. Faith is a lifestyle—a daily decision to trust God, obey His Word, and walk according to His Spirit.

The question now is:

Will these episodes simply become something you listened to… or will they become the way you live?

The goal of this season has never been to fill your mind with more biblical knowledge. The goal has been transformation—to help you become the kind of believer whose entire life reflects complete trust in God.

Because faith walkers aren't identified by what they say on Sunday.

They are identified by how they live every day.

In this final episode, we bring everything together and discover what it truly means to become a Lifestyle Faith Walker—someone whose faith is not occasional but continual, not emotional but intentional, not situational but foundational.

Throughout This Season We Learned...

We began by discovering that...

Faith Isn't Talk—It's Movement

Faith begins when we move in obedience. Talking about faith is never enough. Genuine faith always produces action.

When God Says Move Before You're Ready

We learned that obedience often comes before understanding. God doesn't always reveal the entire plan before asking us to take the first step.

Faith That Steps Out of the Boat

Peter reminded us that miracles happen outside our comfort zones. We cannot experience extraordinary faith while living an ordinary, comfortable life.

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight (For Real)

We discovered that circumstances do not determine God's faithfulness. Faith continues walking even when we cannot yet see the destination.

Faith That Produces Evidence

James challenged us to examine whether our lives actually demonstrate the faith we claim to possess.

From Fearful to Faith-Filled

We learned that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God enough to obey despite fear.

Faith That Speaks AND Acts

Our declarations and our decisions should tell the same story. Faith-filled words must always be accompanied by faith-filled actions.

Faith That Knows When to Move—and When to Stay

We explored the importance of spiritual discernment and learning to recognize God's timing instead of being driven by emotion, pressure, or fear.

Radical Faith—Doing What Doesn't Make Sense

Finally, we discovered that God's greatest miracles often begin with acts of obedience that challenge human logic. Faith trusts God's wisdom above our own understanding.

Each episode has been another step on the journey from being someone who merely talks about faith to becoming someone who consistently walks by faith.

Now it's time to make that walk your way of life.

The Daily Habits of a Lifestyle Faith Walker

A lifestyle faith walker doesn't simply have moments of faith—they cultivate habits of faith. Their perspective changes because their relationship with God shapes how they see the world.

1. The Person of Faith Lives in a Spiritual World

 2. The Person of Faith Sees Everything as Coming from God 

 3. The Person of Faith Believes in Grace for the Future 

 4. The Person of Faith Believes in God's Vision and God's Provision 

Faith walkers stop asking,

"Can I do this?" Instead they ask, "Since God called me, how will He provide what I need?"

They understand that God's vision is always greater than their limitations.

And His provision is always greater than their lack.

The Transformation

When this season began, many listeners may have identified as faith talkers.

People who believed. People who prayed. People who hoped.

But now...

My prayer is that you have become something different.

A Faith Walker. Someone who moves. Someone who obeys. Someone who trusts. Someone who discerns. Someone who perseveres. Someone whose life gives evidence that God is real.

Because the greatest testimony of your faith isn't found in how many scriptures you can quote.

It's found in how faithfully you live those scriptures every day.

Continue the Journey

If this season has challenged your faith, don't let the growth stop here.

Continue strengthening your walk through the 10-Day Active Faith Kickstart. This resource was created to help you move beyond inspiration into consistent spiritual practice, equipping you to develop habits that keep your faith active long after this season ends.

Remember, becoming a lifestyle Faith Walker isn't accomplished in ten episodes.

It's built one faithful day at a time.

🎯 Faith Challenge: The 30-Day Lifestyle Faith Challenge

Don't let today's episode be the end of your journey.

For the next 30 days, intentionally choose to live as a Faith Walker.

Each day:

  •  Spend time with God in prayer and His Word. 
  •  Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your decisions. 
  •  Take at least one intentional step of faith. 
  •  Practice trusting God over your circumstances. 
  •  Write down every answered prayer, open door, lesson learned, unexpected blessing, and opportunity to obey. 

Keep a Faith Journal throughout the month and record:

  •  How God provided. 
  •  How God protected. 
  •  How God spoke. 
  •  How your faith grew. 
  •  How your perspective changed. 
  •  What miracles, big or small, you witnessed. 

At the end of those 30 days, look back over your journal.

You'll likely discover something remarkable:

God was working far more than you realized.

Because faith changes what you notice.

And when you intentionally walk by faith, you begin to recognize God's fingerprints all over your life.

As this season comes to a close, remember this:

Faith isn't an event.

It's not a sermon.

It's not a podcast.

It's not a feeling.

Faith is a way of life.

So keep walking.

Keep trusting.

Keep discerning.

Keep obeying.

Keep believing.

Because God isn't just looking for people who occasionally exercise faith.

He's raising up men and women who live by it every single day.

Until next season, don't just talk about faith.

Become the person who walks it.

Life is a journey, and faith is the road that takes us forward. Welcome to Faith Finder, where we discover what faith truly is, how to use it every single day, and how to grow the measure of faith God placed inside of us. Every bump has purpose, every turn has meaning, every mile brings you closer to who God is shaping you to be. This is Faith Finder, where faith becomes your roadmap. Welcome to Faith Finder Podcast, where faith becomes your roadmap. I am your host, Tamara Anderson. Thank you so much for joining me of season three, Activated Faith from Belief to Bold Living. We are now on episode 10, the last episode of this season. This episode is entitled Becoming a Lifestyle Faith Walker. Let's go ahead and jump into prayer. Most gracious and heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you. Jesus, we thank you for your love, your grace, and your mercy. Lord, we thank you for keeping us day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute. Lord, we ask that you please forgive us of anything and everything we have said, done, thought, or felt that is unlike you. Continue to show us the error of our ways that we may not sin against you. Glory to your name, Lord, we thank you for season three. Hallelujah. We thank you for giving us the steps and the information and the instruction and guidance to Lord God become to go from just living, Lord God, or just belief to living a bold life with activated faith in you. Lord, we just thank you, hallelujah, for just all of the information, all of the lessons, all of the breakdown. We thank you, Lord, and above all of that, we could just be thankful for. We're thanking you in advance for application of every single lesson, of every single episode, of every single season. Lord, we know it is our desire that when you return, you will find great faith in the earth. So, Lord Jesus, we're just asking that you continue to be with us. Heavenly Father, we're asking that you continue to keep us. We're asking that you continue to mature, help us to mature and grow our faith so that you may elevate it to the next level. We're just asking, Lord God, that you give us those opportunities to truly flex our faith muscles. Glory to your name. We're just asking, Lord Jesus, for you to open up our ears to hear you, Lord God, and allow that spirit of obedience to truly reign in our life that we move and move immediately, expeditiously, and exactly the way, and do the exact thing that you have called us or instructed us to do. Lord, we just come to give you glory, we come to give you honor, we come to give you praise. And it's in Jesus' mighty name that we pray. Amen. Amen. I want to first off apologize. I am so, so, so sorry that this is just now being uploaded. I completely and totally forgot. I just, it was Tuesday evening and I just totally forgot all of I'm sorry, so I am sorry. Um, I will say this. I am going to, I uh dealing with a headache for a couple of days or a couple of weeks now, so I am going to take the month of July off just to feel better, to work on myself, to get some things taken care of. But um, thank you so much for joining me thus far in season three. I happen to uh go back over the different platforms that this is being uploaded on, and I am just so thankful and unto the Lord because it is helping. I see, you know, there are people who have downloaded the whole season, there are episodes, and I can see how many people have watched each one on different platforms. So I'm just thankful to each and every one of you for continually to be with me, continually to download, continuing to watch, continue to comment. So thankful. And again, I am so sorry. It just holiday weekend, family in from town, not feeling the best. And I looked up and I don't remember what time it was, Tuesday evening, and I realized, oh my Lord, I did not upload the last episode. So I am so so sorry. But we're gonna go ahead and jump into this last episode, season 10, becoming a lifestyle faith walker. All right, our scripture for today is coming from Colossians 2 and 6. It says, As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. As we have received the instructions, the assignment, the faith challenges, we are now going to walk in faith. We are going to be faith walkers. So the ultimate focus for this episode um is to seal the transformation. It that's that's the whole point of all of this. It's not just to take information. I'm guilty where I have gotten information and I just sat on it. It was good, it was quality. Had I did it step by step, I you know could have propelled in something, but I just took the information and I sat on it. I don't want us to just take this information and sit on it. I want us to seal it with through transformation. I want this information to really truly not only dwell in our hearts and our minds, but that we have application and we begin to be faith walkers. We can't just be faith talkers, we gotta be faith walkers. So the focus today is to seal the transformation. Our desire is to go from just belief to bold living. Our desire is to go from that passive inactive faith to that activated faith that is our desire. So we want to seal that transformation. Um, so I want you to understand that faith is beyond a simple moment, or faith is beyond simple moments. I want faith to now become your identity. I want faith to now become your identity when they look at you, when you talk, when you speak, when you're about do I want, oh yeah, that's a faith walker. Not just because you could talk a good game, but because they're watching your life, they're watching who you are, they're watching how you move, they're watching how you're obedient to the Lord. So I don't want this again. We're not about just talking it, we're about walking it. So I want your identity to become a faith walker. They're going to see it through your actions, not just your lip service, they're going to see it through again how you move, how you give the testimony. I heard the Lord say this, so I did it, and here's the outcome. They're going to hear it. Yes, I did that thing. You want to say fear, we know God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but I did it afraid. I was a little scared, I was a little iffy, but I still did it. They're going to see that over and over and over again. So it's not just, oh, they had faith for this instance or they had faith for that situation. No, this is who they are. They are faith walkers. That's the whole point of all of this. All right. So I want to give you a couple of habits of a faith walker. These are daily habits that faith walkers have. Okay, I want to break that down for you. So one of them is um the person of faith lives in a spiritual world. A person of faith, a faith walker, a person who is just not about talking but about being about it. They live in a spiritual world. Hebrews 11 and 3. I'm going to give you the amplified version because I really want you guys to get this understanding. And I pray that you can hear me. Um, it's it's my voice. By faith, that is, with an inheritant trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God, not ourselves, but of Him, we understand that the worlds, the universe, the ages were framed and created, formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. Again, we're living in a spiritual world. We have to split look through spiritual eyes, we have to hear through spiritual ease, ears. That's what faith walkers do. Again, we talked about this. We don't walk by sight, we walk by faith. We don't walk by our senses, we walk by what God has said. We walk by, again, using the spirit of discernment. I just know that I know that I know that this situation is going to turn around. So I'm going to now start acting like it and walking it and talking like this situation has already turned around. We live in a spiritual world. Yes, everything around us is carnal. Yes, everything around us may be crumbling, but if we hold on to God's unchanging hand, we hold on to his promises in his word, and we hold on to his word, we ain't got to worry about it because again, we are now faith walkers. I don't care what I see, I don't even care what the doctor or my next door neighbor said to me. I know what the Lord said. Glory to your name, Jesus. I know what the Lord said to me, and that's where I'm gonna live. I'm gonna live in knowing. Again, I love how that says we have an enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God. I mean no disrespect when I say this. People will let you down, intentionally or unintentionally, but the Lord will never ever leave us nor forsake us. He will never let us down. Everything that happens is for our good and for his glory. So my trust, my confidence, it's in him, it's in God, not my job, not my job, not even money. I was sitting there in a class not too long ago, um, and it literally talked about the deflation of the dollar. And I'm just like, Jesus, I mean, seriously, did not know this, but people, I'm not saying no names because ain't nobody coming after me, was just printing money, just to be printing money. And in my opinion, if you understand the power of money and you're now just printing some, you're crashing our our economy, you're crashing the system. But that's neither here nor there. Again, my faith is not in that at all. It's in the Lord, it's in the Lord. So another characteristic or habit of a faith walker is to um, I missed something, is to see everything as coming from the Lord. So let me step back, and that's and that's why I apologize. I missed something. I want to give you a couple of things first. Um, number one, a faith walker prays daily. A faith walker prays daily. Um, and that's something that we should be doing regardless of we if we are uh calling ourselves a faith walker or not. We should be praying daily. This is just me. But um, I get up every morning. Once I realize, thank you, Jesus, that I have made it to another day. My first thought, my first words are thank you, Jesus. I'm being honest with you. I am being so honest, unless you know one of my grandkids don't woke me up in the middle of the night. But when I come to myself and realize the Lord has kept me for another night, I say thank you, Jesus. That's just me, and it's not a bad habit to get into. But again, so that's number one. We have daily prayer. Number two, we are daily obedient. There we have to have daily obedience, though. If, ends, or buts about it, we have to have daily obedience. Number three, we should be taking some sort of daily action step. No, if, ends, or buts about it. We should be taking some sort of daily active steps, okay? It's just what we should be doing. Um, and it could be hopefully starting with uh last season season, we started in season three where we had the daily faith, the weekly faith challenges. So hopefully those challenges, because they did, they started off with small baby steps, and then we got bigger and bigger and bigger. So by this point, hopefully, and if not, go back and watch season three. I mean, sorry, season two, watch season two and um begin to see, you know, do those faith challenges. That's what they were there for. Because in season four, baby, we when I say we are gonna already become transformed into faith walkers, activated daily faith. So come season four, you're gonna realize why we started in season two the way we did, but again, there should be action, daily action, daily action in this faith thing. All right, all right. So, going back to the attributes. So a faith walker sees everything as coming from the Lord. James chapter 1, verse 17. Again, I am going to read the amplified version. It says, Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above. It comes down from the from the Father of lights, the creator and sustainer of the heavens, in whom there is no variation. That means no rising or setting or shadow cast by his turning, for he is perfect and never changes. We already know that. I just said hold on to God's unchanged hand. He is perfect, he is absolute perfection, and he never changes. So we have to understand everything, everything, every good thing. Let me add that. Thank you, Jesus. Every good thing and every perfect gift comes from him. But here's the kicker. Understand, and I want you guys to get this. Even if it's not a good thing, even if it's not a perfect gift, he has already given the enemy the opportunity. Think of Job. He has already said, you can go ahead and afflict them in this way. Can't touch that, take their life, but you can afflict them in this way. That's God and God alone. Understand that. That's God and God alone. So again, every good thing and every perfect gift comes from Him. Even those things that don't feel good, even those things that we don't always understand why it's happening, why we're, you know, going through that transition, that process, it's still his perfect will. What does it say in First Thessalonians? And everything give thanks to the Lord for this is his will concerning you in Christ Jesus. So even when it don't feel good, it's still his will. But we see everything as coming from the Lord. Absolutely, positively, everything as coming from him. So nothing, I I thank God a couple of weeks ago, heard uh prophet Scott, and and it was just like we know these things, but sometimes when somebody said a little differently, it clicks a different way. She said, Nothing catches God off guard. Number one, nothing catches him off the off guard. I knew that. But when she said, and he knew you and every mistake that you were gonna make, and it just kind of reassured me, not that I'm gonna go out here and be purposeful and doing sin and committing sin and acting any kind of way, no, but when I fall a little short, God already knew that. When I couldn't, you know, just didn't didn't got quite get that test right, he knew that. Again, that's why we have grace, and that's why he's gonna allow it to come back around. When that trial that I had to endure, I mean took me way down low in my faith. Guess what? He's gonna send something, a word of encouragement or something to build it back up because he already knew. When he was thinking about me before I was formed in my mother's womb, he already knew. So we be us being faith walkers, we see everything that's coming from the Lord. If it doesn't catch him off guard, baby, don't let it catch you off guard. And if it does, let it be a brief. Yep, you got me. But the Lord already knew, so he already got a plan. He already knows how this is gonna work out, so I'm just gonna trust him. All right, all right. The third characteristic: a person of faith believes in grace for the future. 2 Corinthians 9 and 8, also the amplified version. It says, and God is able to make all grace, every favor, and earthly blessing come in abundance to you, so that you may always, under all circumstances, regardless of the need, thank you, Lord, have complete sufficiency in everything, being completely self-sufficient in Him, our Lord Jesus Christ, and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. When I tell you, oh my goodness, this had to be probably oh wow, 15 or so years ago. Um, yeah, when I read this scripture in the Amplified Version, and I'm trying not to cry right now because it does something for me. He is able to make all grace, and it breaks down all grace as every favor and earthly blessing. God is able to bring that in abundance to us. Every favor and earthly blessing. He is able to do that, and it says that you may always, under all circumstances, regardless of the need, and that right there, we know the word said he shall supply all of our need according to his riches and glory. His riches and glory don't fall short, his riches and glory can't run empty. It can't. But how it says, under all circumstances, regardless of the need, sometimes we sit here and think, Well, Lord, I'm not joking, God hears me, I'm not joking. We think of that need as a financial, and that may not be the need. I'm not joking when I tell you I now understand, because for I'm not gonna lie, up until this point, when I say um people who were famous and rich and they commit suicide, and I'm like, Lord, I don't understand. Like they got everything, they they have, I mean, they have everything. Money don't solve the problems, y'all. Money does not solve a heart condition, and I don't mean like congestive heart failure, I mean like a heart condition. Money does not solve a mental problem or mental condition, it doesn't, but he said, regardless of the need, so when I'm feeling low, glory to your name. Thank you, Jesus. When I am feeling low, he has that person send me a text message saying, thinking of you, praying for you, hold on to God's unchanging hand. He has that person to send me a text message with a song in it, he has that co-worker to reach out, hey, just thinking about you. You you crossed my mind on today. That is a need, it's not financial. All my bills, thank you, Jesus, are paid. It's not financial, glory to your name. It's not, but right now, God knows I'm just feeling a little low myself, and I'm the one who's always pouring and pouring and encouraging, encouraging, and reaching out and reaching out. Hallelujah. But on those days, what I what I need is just a reminder that God hasn't forgotten about me and He sends that need. All I need today is just someone to pray for me because the pain is unbearable. I promise you, I was on TikTok and it was CC Wanis, and her prayer was for chronic pain. Jesus, I have been dealing with a hip for two years now. Two years. And when I say chronic pain, chronic when I'm trying to walk or do anything and pain, and just get that tick to scroll and get that TikTok, and her prayer was for those with chronic pain. That's what I needed. Prayer for a specific issue. I don't need finances, and most things people, again, they say that need, they think finances, and I get it, but that's not. I love how he says, regardless of the need, regardless of what it is. If you need a hug, he's gonna send somebody to hug you. I said this to a sister at church, she would hug us every time we were at services, she would hug every female. And like I do you not know outside of my grandchildren, you were the only hug I got this week. Outside of my grandbabies that I know they love me, she was the only one that hugged me that week. I needed that hug. I'm serious, and that's why I think people, if we can get beyond the superficial, we can see it. But again, faith walkers believe in grace for the now and the future. He I love how it says, um, oh Lord, oh Jesus, give it to me. Come, um, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, have complete sufficiency in everything, being completely self sufficient in him. And and because of that, we know that there's more than enough grace. For now, for tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, if that be his will. I love that part. It's more than enough. And again, we have to go back to the word of God. We have to go back to the word. And I love 2 Corinthians 9 and 8, but I love the amplified version because it breaks it down for us. But we believe because again, it's not of our power, our might, our strength, our limited knowledge and wisdom. No, our faith is in him and him alone. It's in the Lord and Him alone. Okay? And the fourth characteristic: a person of faith believes in God's vision and provision. A person of faith, faith walker believes in God's vision and provision. Luke 12, 30 and 31. This is the King James Version. It says, For all these things do the nations of the world seek after. And your Father, the amplified says, Heavenly Father, knoweth that you have need of these things, but rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. Regardless, I'm going to, I'm, I know my provision is in the Lord's hands. But beyond that, because he gave it to me, I believe in his vision. I believe in God's vision. I believe that the word is true. The word is true. Everything else is going to pass away. It's going to pass away, but his word. And his vision is again eternity. Us having eternity with him. That's the vision that I believe in. That's the vision that I'm going to stand on. That's the vision I'm going to have my mansion. And I promise you, it wasn't until recently, maybe the last couple of years. Um, because I'm like, Lord, and and and this is just me in life. I don't need diamonds and and and and gold chains and all of the flashy stuff. That's not me. But I got an understanding of what the crown and the jewels in the crown mean. Ah, because I'm like, Lord, I don't need no crown. I just want to be in heaven with you. I don't need a crown, Lord. I just I just want to be there. But I've got an understanding of what the crown means in the jewels. I want my crown. I want God's vision. I believe in God's vision, and I understand that his provision again, going back to um grace, and in that part where it talks about um sufficient uh abundance, and he regardless of the need, we are gonna have um abundance. That that's just re-emphasizing provision. What I need, no joke, I'm not trying to be funny. I know in him I can find all things joy, peace, love, unconditional love, not transactional love, but unconditional love. I can find it in him. Everything that I need, I find it in him. Seriously, and that's what that is saying. If we seek God first, his kingdom, his righteousness, I don't have to worry about anything else because it's gonna be added unto me. They are out there seeking that, they're out there seeking to get rich and to get famous and to get all these materialistic things. I'm seeking the kingdom of God. If it be his will, they will be added unto me. If it be his will, it's gonna, it's gonna come again. But I'm seeking me, Tamara, I'm seeking the Lord. I'm seeking his kingdom. All of that will be added unto me later. So those are characteristics of a faith walker. Okay? Those are characteristics of a faith walker. So if you don't have one or two or three or four, guess what? Well, again, the whole point of episode 10 is to seal the transformation. You're going to have them, you're going to acquire and you're going to walk in them daily. I believe it, I believe it, I believe it wholeheartedly. So let's just do a quick recap of season three. We know that faith isn't talking, it's movement. Faith, we're not just faith talkers, we are faith walkers, okay? And we know when God says to move, whether we're ready or not, we have whether we're ready or not, we have to move. We have to be obedient. In all of this, it comes down to being obedient. Obedience is better than sacrifice, all right? We know that faith steps out of the boat. A lot of people dog Peter because he stepped out, then got distracted, and took his eyes off God and sunk. But guess what? He did what the other 11 didn't do. He stepped out of the boat. But like I said in in um episode three, we don't want just faith to step out the boat. We want we want faith to stay out the boat. I don't want to sink, I want to keep walking to Christ, I want to keep walking in Jesus. All right. So again, we know that we walk by faith and not by sight for real. People say a lot of things as a cliche. We're not saying this as a cliche. We are actually doing this, okay? We're not walking by any of our senses. What someone said or what we how we feel. Oh, Jesus, that emotion. We're not walking about that. We're walking by those things. We are walking by faith and faith alone for real. All right. We understand that faith produces evidence. Somebody's watching our life, and faith produces evidence, okay? And we are going to go for those of us who have these big fears. We're gonna go from fearful to faith-filled because we know fear cancels out faith, but faith cancels out fear, okay? And we are going to be faith-filled faith walkers. I like that. Faith-filled faith walkers, all right? And we know that faith um not only speaks, but again, it acts. It's not, and we also know that not all movement is faith movement, okay? Faith will let us know when to move and when to stay. Not all movement is faith movement, not all action is faith action, but faith and that spirit of discernment is going to let us know when to move, when to stay. And when we get the instructions, we are going to do it immediately, exactly how he said to do it, and with great delight. All right. And in the end, when we put all that together with all of our characteristics, guess what? We will have radical faith. And we will be able to do what does not make sense to others because God has told us to do it. When we put all of that together in this transformation that we are sealing on today, we will have radical faith. And I'm being honest with you, it doesn't make sense to others. I promise you, um, the Lord opened a door, um, and it was a big door, and it was a big financial um, oh, big financial um um deposit, I'll say a huge financial deposit. And to someone else, that does not make sense. Why would you go into debt for this? Baby, when I tell you it was a door to God open, it doesn't make sense to others. It made perfect sense to me. And again, radical faith. I'm gonna walk through it, but it was, and that's what it all boils down to radical faith, doing what doesn't make sense to others because we are faith walkers, we're not walking by what others say, we're not walking by what we see, we are walking, being obedient unto the Lord. All right, so our faith challenge, um, and I don't want you, I want you to do this for the month of July, the entire month of the rest of the month of July, for the rest of the month of July. I want you as you begin to transform, as you begin, like I said, that daily prayer and the daily obedience and daily action, as you be as you are seeing yourself transformed. I want you to keep track of what God is doing as you're being obedient, as you're taking bigger and bigger, and that's just it. You need to document the small faith steps that are moving into medium faith steps that are gonna become large faith steps. Document that track it. Track, okay, Lord, He told me to do this, He seen that I was faithful to do it and obedient to do it, so He had me do something greater and greater. I want you to track that. I want you because again, when we're able to go back and see where we started from and how we have progressed, I think that is it's the biggest um boost to our faith that we need. Wow, I remember a year ago that would have caused me to just shut down. But look at the Lord. So keep track of what God is doing, not only through you, but also for you and with you. Keep track of what he's doing through you, how he's using you to bless others, keep track of what he's doing with you. Again, how you're growing and maturing, and then keep track of what he's doing uh with you. You know, Lord came by, you know, side by side with me, and my prayer today was just, oh my goodness, I felt the present of the you know the Lord in my house, or whatever the case may be, what he's doing with you, all right. And I want you to share uh those testimonies. I want you to share the challenge. So we're this is called a faith walker challenge for the month of July. Faith Walker Challenge. We're not just gonna talk about it, we're gonna be about it. And I want you to go out there and I want you to share the your your testimony with others. I want you to tag, uh, use the hashtag FaithWalker Challenge. Um, and I'll be able to see it. And I want you guys again comment on the the videos and the podcast of what you've done because I want to share your testimonies with others. I we don't, thank you, Jesus. We don't do what we do, don't get me wrong, but it's not just for ourselves, it's to show others, it's to testify of the goodness of the Lord to others, all right? So we want to share these testimonies, we want to show people. Y'all remember a year ago when it was this, or two years ago, look at me. Oh, glory. Look at me now, and it ain't because of me, it's because of the Lord. Seriously, alright? So, like always, even though this is the last episode, we always want to do a virtual altar call. Open up a virtual altar. And there's someone who has been watching, and and and God is literally tugging at your heart. He he's tugging, he's tugging, he's tugging, and all you gotta do is just hear, uh, yes, Lord, here I am. Yes, Lord, here I am. Seriously, seriously. I don't remember who it was. Um, I think it was Samuel maybe. Um, and he was in the uh temple with Eli, if I'm not mistaken, and as a child, he heard his name being called, and he got up and he went to the uh priest, and he was like, No, I ain't calling you. Second time he heard his name being called, and he got up, he's like, No, I ain't calling you. And he said, Hold on. The next time you hear it, say, Yes, Lord, here I am. That third time he heard it, yes, Lord, here. God is calling you. The Lord is calling you, he's tugging at you. Stop resisting and say, Yes, Lord, here I am. Stop resisting, stop resisting, just say yes, Lord, here I am. Some people think it's some grandiose act and some grandiose thing, and you know, if you anything like me, I'm an introvert. So I'm not for being, you know, lights on me. Being honest, but that's not how it is with the Lord. He knows you, he created you. So it starts inwardly. Yes, Lord, here I am. It starts inwardly, and then yes, you confess. I believe, um, oh God, I believe when it says if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, that first part is an inward thing. It doesn't have to be an outward thing. It could be a I believe, Lord. I hear you calling me, I feel you pulling at me, and all you got to say is, yes, Lord. Then you confess with your mouth. I do believe in you, Jesus. I know that you died for my sins. I know the Lord raised you, and that same power I'm able to have myself. Then we begin to act upon what we believe and what we just confessed by living for him. And the word lets us know it's no longer um I that lives, but Christ that lives in me and through me. All right, we died ourselves to be to oh, glory, hallelujah. We die to ourselves to live for him. It's simple, it's not hard, it's not hard, I promise. And to that one that once walked with him, you know the word of God. It says he is mirrored to the backslider. And I thank the Lord, I thank the Lord, I thank the Lord here over the past couple of weeks. We've had people to rededicate their life. They once walked with him, and due to tragedy or whatever the situations, they turned their backs. But again, they knew time is winding down. I gotta get back in the fold. I gotta get back up under that covering. And they gave their life to Christ. One came in running. I mean, I believe she came to church with that in her heart and determined to do it. The other one, it took a little coaxing, it took a little talking to. Why aren't you giving your life? I don't know. Well, then just do it, baby. Again, it's not hard. It's not, it's just that one self. Lord, forgive me. Lord, forgive me. It's just repentance. Hey, I I I walked away from you, Lord. And I promise you, I promise you, it's not hard. So if that is you today, put in the comments that you want to live for the Lord, that you're coming back to the Lord. And we will pray with you, I will pray with you that God will plant you and send you to the right ministry, the right church, where you can be planted and grow, and you can also fulfill your purpose. All right, let's go ahead and close with prayer. Lord, we thank you on today. Jesus, we thank you for your love, your grace, and your mercy. We thank you, hallelujah, for giving us the characteristics of a faith walker. Lord, we thank you for sealing our transformation. We will no longer just believe, but we will now live boldly with activated faith. We will no longer just talk about it and and say as a cliche, quoting your words, but we will be active in it, Lord Jesus. We will walk by faith. Hallelujah. We will be obedient to you, Lord Jesus. We will move as the spirit of discernment tells us to move and stay when it says way. We will be subjective to the Holy Spirit and the leading and guiding of you. So, Lord, we just thank you for our transformation. We thank you for our transformation, Lord, and we're gonna document how we have grown over the month of July, Lord Jesus. Glory to your name, and Lord, I'm asking that you use each one of these faith walkers, glory to your name, use them in kingdom building, hallelujah. Use them, hallelujah, to be the living epistle. Someone may never have opened their Bible, but they're watching their life, Lord God, hallelujah. Use them to draw others, Lord, because we're going to lift up your holy name, Lord Jesus. So we're asking that as each one moves, Lord God, in obedience unto you, as each one walks, Lord Jesus, in this new season, this new level of faith. Hallelujah, glory to your name. That they draw others unto you. Glory to your name. We want to create disciples, hallelujah. Sheep beget sheep, Lord, hallelujah. We want to also, hallelujah, create faith walkers. Oh, glory to your name, Lord. We just thank you. We give you glory, we give you honor, and we give you praise. And it's in Jesus' mighty name that we say, Amen, amen, and amen. Hallelujah. So I want you to join me for season four, which is going to be titled Living a Legacy of Faith. I am going to take the month of July off just to work on myself to begin to feel better. To God be in the glory. And I will return on Tuesday, August the 4th. In the meantime, go back. Start with season one. Watch the episodes again. Go back. And if you didn't do the faith challenges through season two and season three, go back and begin. Because I want you to document it. I want you to begin to again apply those lessons that we learned. We're not just going to sit on it because it was good stuff, but we're going to apply it to our lives. And I will see you back here on Tuesday, August the 4th. You guys have a wonderful day and a blessed month. God bless. Thank you for traveling with me today on Faith Finder.
