Faith Sounds So Backwards

Jesus is asking us to put our faith in something we can’t see. The miracle, he says, comes after we make the choice to believe and trust. It’s almost like Jesus asks us to put the “cart before the horse.” It sounds so backwards.

Jesus is always reminding us to look beyond what our eyes can see.

In His world, look at what comes after…

God’s will is more about the who than the where. Sometimes God will hide His will from us so we will dig deeper to know His ways....WOW! Powerful words from Steven Furtick

God doesn’t move. He doesn’t change. His words are true. He keeps the promise.

My staking claim of the promise isn’t contingent on God performing it—it is already done.

My staking claim of it is contingent upon me—my pursuit, my persistence, my principles, my presumption.

God's promises are real. If God said it, it is. It came into being the moment He spoke it. It’s not a matter of it materializing; it already exists. It’s a matter of me being willing to take the journey to get to where it is—no matter what the journey looks like, no matter where the promise is kept....Because the promise is kept....God is keeping it, holding it in place until I get there.

God doesn’t dangle carrots in front of our noses. He doesn’t say something is ours and then change His mind. It is we who lose heart. It is we who stop pursuing.

The promise is mine to stake claim on, but it’s up to me to make the land run. I have to go hard after it, raise my flag on it, and hold my ground. I have to believe it exists, act like it exists, declare it exists, find where it exists, and move to where it exists.

Faith sounds so backwards...Our world teaches us to focus on the before and then believe, but in God's world he asks us to walk by faith, not by sight.
