Activate Your Faith...

As I sit here at my desk with tears in my eyes God is asking, “what are you believing ME for?” Not your friend, your neighbor, your mother, your father… What are YOU believing GOD for? Are you activating YOUR faith?

If you believe it, you SHALL receive it!

         

 Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.  Matthew 7:7

What have you opened your mouth & asked your Heavenly Father for? What are you speaking in to the atmosphere? Are you a child of the Most High God? Has He not given you authority-

As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.

Life & death lies in the power of the tongue! What are you speaking? Doubt, fear, hesitation…
       
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind & tossed James 1:6
Have you gone before His throne BOLDLY-


        “And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us 


Check your motives…  Not MY will God, but YOUR will! 

For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him. Romans 12:3

Many of us are going through a process often referred to as the “refining,” stage. God is asking- Can you be faithful to Him, “even in this?”

Come now you may greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if must be, you are in heaviness through a myriad of temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Yeshua the Messiah. (I Peter 1:6-7)

Are you a Job who answered- "... when He Has Tried me, I shall come forth as gold!" (Job 23:10)? Or are you like the disciples before they came in to the full knowledge who He IS & God is turning to you and saying, “… Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith…”? Big faith produces big results. Little faith produces little results. No faith produces no results.

What has God told you about this “thing”? Have you found it in the scriptures?

       
     So then faith cometh by hearing, & hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17)

If you do what you are supposed to do through the process, your Faith will grow!

       
     And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted & be planted in the sea,” & it would obey you. Luke 17:6

Although it is invincible, it is inevitable because He knows the end result.

faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen Hebrews 11:1

Be encouraged. Your situation, your circumstance, this test, this trial, it is not bigger than your GOD! If He be for you, He is more than the whole world against you. He has not left you, He has not forsaken you. I know it’s hard, I know it hurts, but trust in the Lord with ALL your heart! When you’ve done all you can JUST STAND! Stand on His Word, stand on His Promise. What He has for you it is for you & only you. It has YOUR name on it!  With tears in your eyes keep pressing. Keep praising. Keep praying. Don’t give up. Don’t give out. Don’t give in. You are more than a conqueror through Christ that strengthens you.
