Finding the Will of God

Finding the will of God before entering into petition prayer helps us to hold fast to our faith until victory is realized. When we pray knowing who we are, what we have, and what we can do in Christ, in essence, we have the answer to our prayer before it’s prayed. Knowing we already have that which we’re asking for (1 John 5:14-15) makes living by faith easy. We’ll know that any delay in the realization of what we’ve prayed for by the will of God, with the faith of God is merely gaining momentum.

Bold Faith is a Product of Heart Felt Trust

Bold faith must be attached to something. It’s not a product of the mind. It isn’t a product of will power. Bold faith comes from the heart of man. It doesn’t make sense because it’s not based on anything sensual…meaning it’s not based on anything that can be substantiated by our 5 physical senses. Bold faith is born from the Holy Spirit revealing the truth of God’s Word to us in such a way that we no longer believe it to be true. We know it to be true. Nothing can stand against the Word of God revealed to the spirit of man.

Patience is Determination Personified

Patience is the bulldog that sinks it’s teeth into something and refuses to let go. Patience flips the switch of faith on and will not turn the switch off until answered prayer shows up. Many times the object of our faith is right around the corner but discouragement dispatched from the enemy neutralizes our patience and we give up, cave in and quit. I’d like to encourage you to allow patience to have her perfect work. For in doing so, you will discover a life where lack is non-existent (James 1:4).

Keep Hope Alive

Keep hope alive when you run up against the challenges of life. Doing so will help you to look beyond your present circumstances to the victory which lies beyond your challenge. Hope, backed up by faith, with a side of patience is a combination that will never fail. I’d like to encourage you today to keep your hope alive. Focus on the end result of answered prayer and not the current situation. No force on the face of this earth can stand when hope, faith and patience are at work.

Counterfeit Realities

Counterfeit items can only exist where real items exist. You’ll never find a counterfeit 3 dollar bill. Why? Because there are no real 3 dollar bills. Whenever you hear the term “counterfeit” train you mind to know and understand that somewhere in the world a real version exists. Healing by the laying on of hands, prosperity, faith in an invisible God, salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, praying in tongues, and a myriad of other things have been deemed as counterfeit down through the years. Praise God!

It Doesn’t Make Sense

It doesn’t make sense. Never has there been a statement more true. The things of God don’t make sense. They make faith. Faith is foreign to our senses. Therefore when our senses attempt to make sense of something outside of their 5 areas of influence, they can sometimes go belly up on us. To walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7), we must leave the realm of the senses. We’re not moved by what we see. We’re not moved by what we feel. We’re only moved by what we believe. Living the lifestyle of faith means we aren’t ruled by the senses. And yes, it doesn’t make sense.
