Cake and Testing of Faith

The movies I mentioned here I watched on Prime Video also I am not affiliated in anyway with movies or Prime Video.

I wanted to share a movie I had recently watched a true story called a Taste of Praise (I am not affiliated in anyway with this movie) about a man who was tested of his faith to God that started with a cake that’s right a cake! The story is about a man who was a baker and refused to make a cake that went against God’s way. Because this man stood by his faith his refusal to make the cake caused a lot of attention and during the fight to stand by his faith he goes through trials and circumstances that most would give up and give in but he does not. I won’t go into too much detail and give away the ending so I shared the trailer so you could see for yourself about the movie. I was moved and in awe of our God how He can use something as simple as a cake to test our Faith and show how great of a God we serve! Whenever you are with God at times there will be opposition from the world and your faith will be tested but just like in this movie (remember this is a true story) God is with this man during the trials and you see just how He is with His faithful servant (the baker). In this movie it starts with a simple cake and ends up being something way bigger for the Glory of Our Lord. This movie reminds me of the scripture

Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
which is so true I would have never even imagined God using a cake to test our faith and show how powerful and great He is this is where His thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways comes in right?! After watching this movie I was like well how will my faith be tested and how are ways I’ll see his powerful works in my life? And no matter what ways I tried to think of I was like back to this scripture Isaiah 55: 8-9 I can’t and won’t be able to even think of His ways that are way greater than my own!

I wanted to share another true movie called Apple Mortgage Cake that was also started with a cake and faith. Another cake story about faith! This movie is about a woman who faces hardship and is about to lose her home due to not having the money to pay for the mortgage or for repairs the house needed. She takes what she has a family cake that was passed down from her grandmother she would make for her family and friends and used to turn things around and ends up being something bigger than a cake! She was a servant of God she did good things for others even though she struggled and God gave her what she already had to turn her circumstances around and became life changing for her and her family. Again this is our God and man isn’t He amazing! Only our God can use something so simple and turn it to be much greater for His Glory!!! Be sure to check out this movie and see how God works in this woman’s life! For both these movies it’s a great reminder no matter what your going through and you remain steadfast in faith God is with you and will bring you out in His due time for His will and you see how much He is with you during the trials. Ask yourself this how will God test you and will you trust Him enough to stay faithful and for those of you that God is speaking to you about what do you have that God has given you that you have discounted that could change your life? Remember this if God is in it what is small and simple to you is going to way bigger and greater than you could even image! Again the reminder (Isaiah 55:8) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
