What is Faith?

Hello everyone!

There are a lot of things that I wanted to write about. I wanted to continue some of my blog projects such as.."The Alien Project" and another piece about my continuing feud..yet involuntary one with Atheist and Evolutionist. But today I wanted to write about Faith. I think many of us many times say to ourselves.."Well just a little faith, if I believe that God will do it that's enough." Well, is it really enough to "just believe."? I wanted to go in depth with that and see what God really does say about that. I believe faith is like a puzzle, once the pieces are put in place, you see the bigger picture. Now what is faith? Well in the bible it's says "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) But that's not all that is involved in having faith. Some people may think well just have faith and that's it, and that's not true. Lets get started shall we?


The pieces of the Faith puzzle...

Lets take a look at the pieces that go into faith as a whole. First, we must identify the problem or the need. What is it that you require faith for? Is it for your finances, job, healing or even strength just to make it through the day? Everything requires faith. Believing in God requires faith. So now we have the first piece...identifying the need.


Removing the doubt...

Removing the doubt may not seem like part of the puzzle but it is. We must take all that we know and understand with our human understanding and toss that aside. Why? Because it can ruin your faith. Many people function within reason or within logic. As I have always said in an earlier piece, God functions outside of logic. So you must start to function outside the boundaries of your own logic and understanding. You must realize that God's power is not limited but you can limit God by limiting yourself. Does that make sense? See, we can do a lot for people. We can cook for them, we can do anything. But if they refuse that help then they are limiting your help for them so in reality they have limited themselves from your help. When in reality you can do more for them, than they allow you to. God can do so much more for us than we allow Him to do. And how do we limit God in our lives? With doubt. So eliminate the doubt and God becomes limitless in your life. You therefore will allow Him to work in your life.


Understanding the will of God and expanding your mind...

To have faith we must also understand faith, and in understanding what faith is we must understand the will of God. Now earlier I spoke about removing your doubt and changing your thought process. This is what the bible says about changing that thought process and the will of God. "Do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." ROMANS 12:2
Now, notice it says "be transformed by the renewal of your mind." We must be transformed. Not just our external behavior, but the way we feel and think—our minds. Then we will understand the will of God. Now the will of God is that we live well, in health and prosperity. There was once a sick man who came to Jesus and said.."Lord if it is your will." And Jesus said.."I am willing be healed." So in that statement alone that is just one small example of God's will for our lives. So understanding God's will is another piece to the puzzle. He want's us to prosper..he wants us in health...that is the will of God.



The ACTIONS of Faith...

Now here is where we get to the final piece of the puzzle, a piece that is probably just as or even more important than the rest. Faith is an ACTION. That's right, faith is an action. How do we know that faith is an act? Lets check what scripture said about faith being an act, and it gives many examples. The Bible says, "Faith without work is dead..." (James 2:26) So there you have it. We show faith by acting on that faith. Here are some examples. There was once an woman who the bible describes was very very ill. Jesus was in her city and as he walked through the city, word had spread that he was there. The apostles were crowded around him as hundreds of people surrounded Jesus and were touching him. The ill woman saw Jesus and reached for him. She thought to herself.."If I could only touche the hem of his garment I will be healed." Now as the woman reached out and touched Jesus. Jesus stopped and looked around..and said.."Who touched me?" The apostles were puzzled and said."Lord, there are hundreds of people who are touching you." and Jesus replied.."Yes but I felt power leave me, someone touched me." Then the woman came forth and said.."It was I lord, I was ill and I reached out and touched you and I was healed." Jesus looked at her and said.."Go, your faith has healed you." There were many many times in the bible where Jesus told those that he healed.."Your faith has healed you." One man was crippled from birth in his hand..and Jesus told him stretch out your hand. The man stretched out his hand...and he was healed. Now think about this..this man acted on faith. If he had not stretched out his hand..and said..BUT I CAN'T. Do you think he would have been healed? Of course not because he had no faith and therefore did not act on that faith. So faith is an act. Now sometimes we don't get the results we want that quick but the bible does say.."Submit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass". (Psalms 37:5) So God does bring that answer to pass. Just show him your faith, act on it. Sometimes acting on that faith means doing something, that some would say.."Your taking a big risk" Take that risk, have faith in God. It is your act of faith..show Him your act of faith. "We must keep on keeping on, never giving up the faith, regardless of tough times, the handicap under which we labour. These trials we live through are what make us stronger and our continued faith in God and ourselves pushes us to succeed." www.mswm.org "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23)

So now you see faith is an act...and there is much more to it than just saying you believe. You must change your mentality..you must understand God's will, and you must remove all doubt from your life. Anything that would bring doubt. I hope you all enjoyed this. I try not to be preachy about it....but I hope it makes sense. There are many things in life to have faith in. Faith in yourself, in one another, in love. If you can have that kind of faith..not just in those things but in God. Then your world will change. Thanks for reading everyone. Take care and God bless ya.

The Alien Project: Area 51

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while since I have written anything. I wanted to write this time on a series of "articles" if you would like to call them that. I wanted to touch on the subject of Aliens, UFO's, Area 51, and Alien Abduction. Not many people know about these subjects and I wanted to give as much information to you as possible. This will be a long series and I hope that you find them very interesting and fascinating. These series will eventually lead into other "Thoughts" on subjects such as The Bermuda Triangle..and the Hallow Earth theory. I will also touch on something that is of a specific interest to me, the theory of Atlantis. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. So let's start out with our first subject in the series I like to call "The Alien Project" this is Area 51.

Area 51

Now some of you know about area 51, some probably have heard something about it, and others nothing at all. Well to give you an idea of what area 51 is, were going to have to look at the beginnings of area 51. Back in the mid 1950's a gentleman by the name of Kelly Johnson and his chief test pilot, Tony LeVier, were in search of a test area for their U-2 spy plane. They had many many sites to be considered and one of them was a dried up lake bed in Nevada. Then-then- Colonel Ozzie Ritland and his Richard Bissell's military deputy were involved in the U-2 program were issued the findings of Kelly Johnson and Tony LeVier. Soon the four men decided to go out and take a look at these sites, Then they came to Groom lake, the future site of Area 51. They flew over the area and they knew instantly, that was the prime location.
This is the account of Colonel Ozzie Ritland "we went
in low, and I went to this little X-shaped field that I'd flown over
and over and over again on the bomb run where we'd dropped these
weapons, and I'd spent enough time over there! It was an old, old
World War II field. We flew over it and within 30 seconds, you knew
that was the place because it was a stretched-out thing in the sand
which, over the years, had got hummocks and sagebrush that wouldn't
quit, but it was right by a lake. Man alive, we looked at that lake,
and we all looked at each other. It was another Edwards, so we wheeled
around, landed on that lake, taxied up to one end of it, and Kelly
Johnson said, "We'll put it right here, that's the hangar!"
And thus Area 51 was born. Later Area 51 was also called "Dreamland" which is actually the radio call sign of the control tower at Groom Lake and likely refers to the exotic aircraft tested there, the craft of aviators' dreams. Why it's called Area 51 is classified to this day, and there are many theories behind it, to many to really delve into. The acreage there at groom lake aka Area 51 is approximately 38,400-acre's. It also has the longest air strip in the world. Today that land area is used by the Department of Defense as part of its 4,120-square-mile Nellis Air Force Range. Apparently the Air Force "operating location near Groom Lake" has no official name that is not classified. However, the land which the operating location occupies was officially referred to as that withdrawn by Public Land Order (PLO) 1662 until the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999 rescinded PLO 1662 per § 3011(b)(2)(A). As far as the United States government is concerned, there is no "Area 51." Should you submit correspondence to the government concerning the operating location, do not refer to it as "Area 51." Refer to it as "the United States Air Force operating location near Groom Lake, Nevada on land originally withdrawn by Public Land Order 1662," and you will not foreclose the possibility of receiving a meaningful response. Here the name "Groom Lake" and the term "the base" will be used.

Why Groom lake?

Groom Lake, Nevada is about 90 miles north-northwest of Las Vegas. Groom Lake is an alkali flat, similar to that at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah or Edwards Air Force Base in California. The lake bed can hold water or "flood" after heavy rains. Because heavy rains are seasonal in this area of Nevada, Groom Lake is generally dry. Groom Lake is near the northeastern limits of the Mojave Desert, where Joshua trees inhabit the upper elevations and creosote, saltbushes, and Mojave yucca dominate the lower elevations. Because the valleys in the area are generally endorheic basins lacking hydrologic outlets, dry lakes like Groom Lake, which lies in the Emigrant Valley, are common in the area. Other nearby dry lakes, for example Texas Lake to the east of Groom Lake, have also been used by the Air Force, though not as the sites of permanent bases, stories concerning Papoose Lake aside. The appeal of a dry lake is that it provides a ready-made hard, level surface for operating aircraft.
The average population density in Nevada is low, but in the area surrounding Groom Lake it is particularly low, far less than one person per square mile, excluding base personnel. In 1955, when Groom Lake was selected as the U-2 testing grounds, there were even fewer people in the area. Even today it is not uncommon to drive for 20 miles or more on Nevada Highway 375 without encountering another motor vehicle. NV 375 is the nearest public highway to Groom Lake and is officially designated the "Extraterrestrial Highway" by the state of Nevada. The area is about as close as one can get to the middle of nowhere within the continental United States. The isolation of Groom Lake, its proximity to the Nevada Test Site and the Nellis Air Force Range, the dry lake bed, and the desert weather conditions combine to produce the ideal location to flight test secret aircraft. Now you see why it's perfect for secret aircraft tests and possibly UFO's.

Many aircraft's were tested at Area 51 such as the CIA's OXCART project, a Mach-3 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, a later variant of which became the famed USAF SR-71 Blackbird. The Lockheed Have Blue prototype stealth fighter (a smaller cousin of the F-117 Nighthawk) first flew at Groom in December 1977. Testing of a series of ultra-secret prototypes continued there until mid-1981, when testing transitioned to the initial production of F-117 stealth fighters. In addition to flight-testing, Groom performed radar profiling, F-117 weapons testing, and was the location for training of the first group of front line USAF F-117 pilots. Subsequently, the still highly classified active-service F-117 operations moved to the nearby Tonopah Test Range, and finally to Holloman Air Force Base. Commuter service is provided along Groom Lake Road by a bus, catering to a small number of employees living in several small communities beyond the NTS boundary (although it is not clear whether these workers are employed at Groom or at other facilities in the NTS). The bus travels Groom Lake Road and stops at Crystal Springs, Ash Springs, and Alamo, and parks at the Alamo courthouse overnight. There is also a red striped plane that flies employees to and from groom lake. Here's an account of a family that were at the airport boarding for a helicopter ride "While waiting for a helicopter in Vegas, we got talking to a pilot, and filmed him telling us about the 'secret' planes that shuttle people in and out of the non-existent base in Area 51. He was full of interesting info on how the system works...eg the mystery planes have priority over the air space, all their randomly timed flights come first (which was why we were hanging around in the first place). We were lucky enough to catch a second shot of an unmarked plane landing, from above while in the helicopter." And here is that video.



Area 51 Employees.

There have been many people who claimed to have worked at Area 51. A family member of mine who's fellow employee is a retired Air Force, He stated to her one day.."You know I have seen it all being in the Air Force, everything from UFO's to Underground cities." Many have feared what may happen if they came out and others come out secretively. But there are those few who come out to tell the truth, and are very outspoken, and they do so..to protect themselves. Take for instance Mr. Bob Lazar. This is his story.




The real questions to this mystery of Area 51 are. What is it the Govt has hidden there and why? Could there actually be UFO's at Area 51? Well no one knows for sure, only those who have actually seen it...and would you believe them..if they told you?
There is a lot more to this story than we know, underground cities? maybe..who knows...with the technology we posses now I wouldn't doubt it one bit. Coincidentally...the gentlemen responsible for finding Area 51 for the U.S. Govt, have been denied access back in. Mr. Kelly Johnson one of the men responsible for it, had requested access to Area 51 before he died. His request was denied..right before his passing.

Please check back for more of my little series here.."The Alien Project" where I'll be talking about programs like MJ-12 aka..Majestic 12 and Roswell NM. Here is the documentary "Re-investigating "Dreamland" enjoy. Thanks for stopping by and reading. Thank you!
