The bible is filled with great stories of people with vibrant trust and faith in a God they could not see. This kind of faith topples kingdoms, transcends and transforms circumstances. Joseph went from being a slave to the second most powerful man in all of Egypt because he continued to trust in the promises of God and take Him at His word.
Hebrews 11 chronicles biblical characters whose faiths catapulted them over their circumstance into the faith hall of fame.
Hebrews 11:8
While we can only imagine what Abraham must have been feeling, its difficulty is only magnified by the fact that he left all he knew for something he did not even know or see.
Have you ever had to trust God’s word for what you could not see?
If we knew it all now, why would we need faith?
If we allow it, pondering the possibilities will erode our faith and unravel our confidence.
There is a power that we pull from faith in a God who is greater than our obstacles. When I’m unsure of my way it’s my trust in his promises that get me through.
The Voice of God and His words stimulate greater faith in us.
Hebrews 11:3
Romans 10:17
Romans 12:3
What have you done with the faith that God issued you? Have you applied it to the wrong thing? Have you vested it in things other than God?
We often hear from God but don’t have the faith to move or go through with what God has instructed because we have scattered our faith in other things undeserving.
The hearing the living word of God can increase your faith.
1 Peter 5:7
1 Corinthians 15:58
Psalm 27:1
When you hear God’s word do you M.O.V.E.?
Hebrews 11:6
This year if you are looking for overflow you will have to MOVE!
God will elevate and reward the doers of His word.
James 1:22
If you want to have great faith you will have to learn to move on His word and not just His works!
James 2:17
Isaiah 55:11
God said we are often limiting our blessings because we are waiting for His presence, when He has already, sent His word!
Limiting the power of God to His presence is not truly understanding His power.
Real faith will move on God’s word seeing nothing.
If you desire to understand before you move for God, you should consider His plan cannot be comprehended by man. His principles are heavenly and above our earthly understanding.
Isaiah 55:8-9
If you want to be a follower of God, you must trust Him even though, you can’t trace him.
Romans 11:33
You will never know how every detail in your life is going to play out but you’ve Got to trust Him just the same.
The steps have already been ordered but do you trust him enough to walk?
When God gives you his word, it doesn’t matter what others have said!
Lamentations 3:37
Psalm 37:25
In the ancient world, there was a simple way to determine if an item was legitimate or counterfeit. Throw it into the fire. If the article survived the furnace, you knew it was real.
We must trust Him even in the Fires of this life!
The promises of God are pregnant with blessings; not only for you but also for generations to come.
Hebrew 11:8
Stop choosing the now, over the promises of GOD for your future.
What are you forfeiting when you don’t M.O.V.E.?
Take Him at His word today even when you can’t trace Him. Why? Because God is not a man that He would lie and He is the same always.
Hebrews 13:8
