Radical faith
Why is it that some people seem to have more faith than others? Why do some people live on the heights, whilst others struggle in the depths of despair? It is nothing to do with circumstances. It is all about faith. I want to be a woman of faith, a woman who believes that God is a God of the improbable and impossible and ACTS like it! If you want the same, read on!
I believe it is very key to be honest with God about how I am and who I am. I am also incredibly specific with what I ask for. One of the things I am praying at the moment is that someone who dislikes me a lot eventually loves me so much that we become like family. I am believing God for it! I am choosing to speak peace and blessing over that person today. I sing over her. I pray and fast for her. I treat her in my mind as though it is already done. I believe God has already acted on my behalf in her life. I have no proof. Yet! But I will one blog of how God has turned this around. I WILL!
The Lord already knows what we need, but like a child going to their father, He wants us to ask Him. He longs for us to believe and not allow doubt to creep in. Think about who impressed Jesus the most. It was those who trusted most deeply and saw their total need of Him.
Our faith ushers Him closer to us!
So today, believe and don’t doubt! Believe in your heart that it’s already done in Jesus name and praise Him in advance for it.
We must also learn to receive. This is the thing I struggle with the most. I am a great giver. I like to give advice, prayers, cake, curtains, clothes, just about anything. But I sometimes find it tough to take from others.
Let me tell you something I am learning, if you are not a receiver, you won’t get what you ask God for. Simple. He won’t force His blessing onto you. You need to make yourself ready and open to have it, His way, His time.
So today, start believing God to do the impossible. Believe Him for your failing business! Believe Him for that ruined relationship! Believe Him for your healing! Believe Him for your deliverance! Believe Him for the supernatural power you need! Believe Him for grace and forgiveness! Believe Him to bring your Prodigal child home! Believe Him to provide for you! Start believing and asking God for things that naturally doesn’t make any sense.
I have known people who prayed for God to give them money and they found the exact amount needed in their coffee jar. I have known people need an answer to a problem and see it on a billboard. I have known people who need a word and a stranger has walked up and said the exact word they needed.
God has done all of these things for me too. (Except my money was in an envelope on my doorstep)
If God can turn water into wine, if God can say, “Let there be light” and there was light”¦how much more are you (being his child) able to ask God for these things and He does it?
Help us have that kind of faith today Lord Jesus. Help us be radical and believe you for radical things today.
Amen
