There is strength in faith. Strength is from the Greek word ‘Dunamis” meaning power in action- the power of God and not the workings of biology. There is a miraculous working ability of God to produce faith in us.
Through faith you can conceive power. There are times we would have waited for natural things to happen. We rely on the power of God to make those natural things come into being or revealed to bring about productivity even when it’s not time for them to happen.
Faith does NOT wait. You can receive boosting from faith to cause the workings of God to produce results in your life. Peter heard a word and acted upon it. Anytime we do the word of God the word becomes operational.
How the word becomes operational in our lives:
1.Word has to be spoken;
2. We must hear the spoken word; and
3. We must do or act upon the word we have heard failing which the blessing shall not be fully revealed or realized in our lives.
The challenge is when we fail to act. Father, by faith in your word I receive strength to conceive! The Word of God becomes “epignosis” when you hear, meditate and act upon it.
So important what we say as it helps our imagination. So it is important to stay on the word of God. By faith Sara received the strength to conceive. The ‘Dunamis’ i.e. power to conceive allowed her to deliver a child when past the age of child bearing.
In faith the natural things of God are revealed. By faith we can restore the seasons irrespective of time. Faith tells time what time it should be. We use our faith to control time.
Joshua had been given so much victory by God and sun went down. Joshua was wise with wisdom of spirit spoke to the sun and sun stood still till they finished all their enemies. Sun didn’t settle that day until Joshua won. Joshua changed time because of his faith. The doctor may tell you facts. Faith doesn’t deny the facts because it’s higher than facts. We use faith to correct the fact our lives. Through faith we received strength. We use the power of faith / law of faith to override limitations of facts in our lives.Faith is the law that overrides the facts and helps you to see what God has done in your life already. With your ordinary eyes you can’t see what God has done. By your faith you see what God has done and not the facts.
Caleb in Numbers 13v30 “and Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, ‘let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it”. the men felt intimidated by the giant -like stature of the sons of Anak and felt like grasshoppers in comparison. The battle is always between the facts of life and the voice of faith. If your faith says yes God can’t say no.
Peter in Matthew 14:28 “Lord if it is you Jesus, bid me to come to thee on the water’. Peter started to walk on the water because his faith reached out to the master. The fact is he walked on water. The number of minutes he spent walking on the water was irrespective. Even if he fell in the water and started to sink after, his faith that night was possible because of the master Jesus.
If your faith says yes God cannot say no!
Amen
