Genesis 18:12-15. NKJV
In our reading yesterday, we saw how Sarah had felt it quite comical that God had said that her and Abraham would have a child in their very old age. God's reply to Abraham was, 'Is anything too hard for the LORD.'
At times, God can tell us the most incredible things that it can blow us away, and we are left feeling a little like Sarah was. But we serve a big, faith-filled God who expects us to walk in faith too. 'For we walk by faith, not by sight.' 2 Corinthians 5:7. Our God gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist, as though they did. (Romans 4:17).
Just imagine living this way, calling those things which do not exist as though they did. Well, there is no need to imagine it because this is the way He wants us to live - by faith. Nothing is too difficult for God (Jeremiah 32:17) and His desire is that we accept this and live this way each and everyday.
There have been so many famous people of faith over the years, Smith Wigglesworth, James Hudson-Taylor and Kathryn Kuhlman to mention just a few. Then, let us not forget Simon Peter, who walked in faith performing such things as, 'Silver and gold, I do not have but what I do have, I give you. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. And the lame man did just that.
'Yes but..' Yes but nothing. God's said it. He's not a liar so believe it! The same Jesus that lived in these people's hearts lives in you as well, and he wants you living this way. The devil will spread doubt around whenever you begin to live this way. People will frown on you and consider you an embarrassment but don't let that stop you, just remember what Jesus said to Jairus in Mark 5:36, 'Do not be afraid, only believe.'
God may have spoken to you about something just lately; and you may be thinking that it is incredible, even unbelievable. STOP JUST THERE! Nothing is too hard for God, so get your mindset tuned into Him and believe that He calls those things which do not exist, as though they did. As Wigglesworth said, 'If God said it, I believe it and that settles it.'
This includes, healing, finance, housing, marriage, family and whatever else. Therefore, as a man, woman or child of God, stand up, look up and start confessing faith. Start speaking faith-filled things, not words that cancel out things. Call things that don't exist as if they do and then stand on this, never once doubting.Copyright 2020 Grahame Howard
