I had a meeting today with one of our team members who could not escape the reality that faith is the primary weapon that we have to attack those things which seem impossible to us in the natural realm.
Scripture is overflowing with illustrations of men and women who faced impossible situations that had no logical solution apart from the power of God moving by faith.
In the story of Nehemiah and the story of rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem, the primary narrative ends with the confirmation that the people were in “fear of the Lord” because they new that what had taken place could only have happened because God had done it.
That’s what faith says. It reaches out and lays hold of a better future because God is at work doing what only He can do.
If you’re facing something today that seems bigger than you or out of the realm of you possibly making it happen, remember that you have been given a gift of faith. (see Romans 12) Since you have this gift, use it and exercise it toward a specific purpose. Remember that faith needs an object and a specific goal. Faith isn’t just general “believing.” Faith is God’s word in action toward a specific purpose.
The really exciting outcome of dynamic faith is that it does move mountains, defeat armies and bring victories that couldn’t happen any other way!
Blessings,
Dr. Jay

“…If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed…you will say to your mountain ‘move!’ and it will move…and NOTHING will be impossible for you!” The words of Jesus Christ; Matthew 17:20.
