Prayer: LORD Holy Spirit, empty me of me and fill me with Your Spirit of faith. Open my understanding to know my God. Open my faculties to serve God and to feel Him. Fill me with the Spirit of Great faith that will please the Most High God. Save me from stagnancy and delusions. Thank You Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.

Let’s share something by God’s Grace

Scripture reference:

Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” (Matthew 9:29)

“According to your faith.” He did not speak any other word. When He touched them, He spoke to their faith. His faith worked on them basing on the faith they had.

God will work on you basing on your faith.

If you do not have the faith in your calling, you cannot bear its fruits. If you do not have faith in your prayers, you will speak something else in prayer and after that your confession will be opposite. You pray, “Oh Lord thank You for blessing me. Bless my life.” …and after that you will say, “My life is not blessed at all.” So, the same lips that asked God to bless you have now turned and spoken negative.

Your faith must be consistent. You do not change basing on circumstances and situations. When you begin changing your stand in faith, it will affect you. The enemy will always give you reasons not to believe. He will always give you good reasons for the circumstances. You have a disease and you say, “This disease is going to put me in trouble. This is going to be costly.” You are speaking negative because of what you are feeling and yet you can use the same lips to praise God and thank Him for your healing.

“When you rest in God, you must rest in faith”

Job went through a lot of pain more than anyone else but he kept his faith in his God and at last God rewarded him.

When you rest in God you must rest in faith. Truly God is alive. God is there. Do not think you are worshipping Him in vain.

Convince your inner heart to be bold that God is real and when you speak to Him, He hears you at whatever volume, high or low. If He hears your thoughts, what can’t He hear from you? So, when you speak and believe with boldness, what you have spoken will take shape. Keep hitting the same word with faith, because the opposite of that good word is not helping you at all. So, why don’t you direct your word to your faith? Why not plant your word in spirit in according to your faith? He said, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

Biblical example:

There was a woman who had a hemorrhage, when she touched Jesus’ garment, she got healed. Then when He turned to her, He said, “Your faith has made you well.” (Luke 8:43-48)

There is nothing that devil fears in you like your faith. Your faith makes the evil one quake and yet your faith pleases God.

You may go through a situation; God is watching you to see your faith to see what you are up to. You feel you are in it alone. Then you end up attracting negativity by your thoughts, feelings and emotion and then you fill your soul with the devil. It means that you cannot pass any test and cannot qualify from one level to another when you are not tested. How will you get there?

We move by faith, walk by faith and work by faith. Once you value faith, you will not be inconsistent. You know what to do and where to do it.

The world is so deluding. Even when people see miracles, they say they are paraded. You cannot know the use of a doctor until you have seen the situation of people. You will not know the use of a person not until you land in a situation where you need that person.

The world has a lot of delusions and they are aimed at taking away your faith, so that you have no boldness in you. The enemy uses that to overtake you, he enters you and takes over your soul, and what has entered you he makes sure he deposits it in your children as well. He deposits it in your partner so that it keeps in your circles.

Out of faith, decide to have peace, rest and destiny. If you have faith that God had designed you to be what you have to be and what you found out, build it by faith.

Your faith will help your heart to rest for this world has enough troubles but it takes faith to rest when you are seeing the storm.

Paul and Silas were in jail but they worshipped and sang hymns. It threw the bars of jail open. Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego were in fire and worshipped God. Those who put them in the fire saw them with another fourth person. An Angel came in there to help them. He did not stop the fire, it continued burning but they could not feel the heat because they were worshipping. They were comfortable and truly, fire did not burn them. They never knew how much the God of Daniel can save until they saw Daniel in a pit of lions and the lions could not touch him. The king who had said, “No one should worship any other God said “Everyone worship the God of Daniel.”

You are in a situation where you are letting the situation hurt you. You are thinking too much and the thought you are putting in your mind devil is inspiring you to think like that. Yes, it is hot, burning truly, but what is your faith saying?

What situation are you going through? let it not dictate your thoughts, or dictate the way you pray. Pray in the way that glorifies your God. Out of that situation God will bring answers that will glorify His Holy Name.

But when you speak negative, satan will use that and that will be your limit. Until one day you will believe there is God who can walk with you through the fires. He goes with you through the fires because He wants to lift you. None of these things can hurt you. No weapon fashioned against you shall prevail.

Know what you want, have faith in it and move towards it. Let your thoughts and acts be directed there. Despite of all circumstances and whatever the surroundings are saying, just look there and get there. Look in your heart, look at what is troubling you. No matter how big it is, it has a solution. It is not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of the LORD. The Spirit of God will solve it for you. You do not worship Him in vain.

You must plant a seed called faith. You develop it slowly. Go in your prayer room and close your eyes and meditate. Ask yourself a question. “Do I really believe this God?” “Do I have faith for what I am praying for?” You begin meditating, convincing yourself, “basing on this thing and what I saw in church, God is with me.” Your meditation begins as you say, “Merciful God, be merciful to us.” You speak in your heart as you meditate on this God whom you have faith in.

You begin by asking yourself questions, giving yourself answers and then your faith keeps growing until it will bear fruits one day. That meditation of whether this God exists and whether He is with you will help you. It is from that point that you will start believing the Word and what you have seen.

Without faith, when you see things, you will think they are paraded, drama and not true. You will not know the importance of a doctor unless you get sick. You will not know the importance of a lawyer unless you have a serious case around you. You will not know the importance of a police man unless they have robbed you and you want the thieves arrested. You fear police but when you get a serious issue you find yourself there.

So, you will not know the importance of God unless you open your mind and know that you are not paying for the breath you are taking. How much would it cost if you were paying for it? There are so many things to prove to you that God is there.

God is real and alive. If you convince your heart from now that Christ is with you, too close to you, and begin relating with Him in Spirit and truth, your life will start changing. You will start seeing open doors, and devil will fear you.

Let the foundation start from somewhere in your heart to build that faith. Let your faith in God be so tangible.

Peace be with you
