Receipts for Donations for 2016

Due to an old fashioned bookkeeping system & having much on my plate always with no support staff, I send out receipts for donations for tax purposes usually only upon request. If you would like a receipt for your donations for 2016, please contact me at love@walkbyfaithministry.com.

Most importantly, please know you and your generosity are appreciated beyond measure!!!

Love & blessings,

Lara

They’re Not Doing Their Part

“So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.” Romans 14:12-13

“Why don’t they do…?” I asked the Lord, frustrated for the umpteenth time. I don’t remember my exact words to Him, but I most assuredly remembered the message behind it. I was thinking about all the years I had had my ministry and how exceedingly few people had ever help...

5 Vital Ingredients to Serving God

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee…So Abram departed.” Gen. 12:1-4 KJV

   “…Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Acts 9:6 KJV (Jesus speaking to Paul)

     Abraham and the apostle Paul may have lived a long time apart, but they had a bunch of things exceedingly important in common when it came to their awesome work for the Lord:

They both lov...

I Was Wrong

  “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18

  “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” Proverbs 28:13 ESV

“I am truly sorry for interrupting you & speaking to you in the manner I did. I was wrong & prideful & should have listened and then responded if and as the Lord would have led me. Thank you in advance for forgiving me, sweet friend!!!” I wrote a beloved friend one fine m...

6 Ways NOT to Fight Our Battles

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh…” 2 Cor. 10:4

The world teaches us to fight our battles with our fists in the air, throwing punches at our enemy, fighting in all the strength we can muster, looking to past victories or others’ victories as our model to win the battles we face today. But the Bible makes clear this is NOT the way to fight our battles. In fact, the Bible reveals 6 ways NOT to fight our battles.

Don’t go into a battle God hasn’t called us into; go only into...

How Dare She Do That!

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.” Galatians 6:1

Within just minutes of getting on the phone with a friend who had reached out in response to hearing that I was struggling with something and could use prayer, she interrupted me not to just say she would pray for me. She had the nerve, the gall, the audacity, to do something totally inappropriate, unkind, inse...

Are You Being Deceived?

“…that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.” Acts 26:20 ESV

If you believe salvation, or being saved from God’s wrath, death, hell, and the lake of fire, and being promised God’s love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, a relationship with Him now and forever in heaven, is as simple, quick, and easy as saying a prayer, confessing your sins, asking Jesus into your heart, being baptized one pretty Sunday morning, going to church, reading your Bible, and...

Loving Mean People

  “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” John 13:34 ESV

    “I don’t want to give that to so-and-so,” I told the Lord in no uncertain terms as I continued day by day to go through my possessions and give away or throw away almost everything but bare essentials as I prepared to embark on the road with America as my missions field. This particular possession was something fairly expensive, in my estimate anyway, t...

The Angel, the Apostle, the Eunuch – AND YOU!

 

“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go…And he arose and went…Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him…And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.” Acts 8:26-39 (bold added)

    If you know the story of the apostle Philip, the angel of the Lord, and the eunuch in need of Christ, maybe you’...

Update & Prayer Request – March 10, 2017

  “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.” 1 Cor. 1:27-29

   “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who command...
