Faith Is… II

‘For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.’ Heb.4:2.

Faith is plugging into the move of God regardless of how I feel. Plug into God’s Word by faith. The children of Israel had a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day to lead them. The Bible says where ever the pillar stops they stop regardless of the time of the day and whenever the cloud moves they move. That is faith. It is possible that they did not feel like moving on that day or things were not just right but regardless they plugged into the move of God. ‘The cloud of glory is moving let us move with the cloud –move with the cloud’. Plugging into the move of God gives you what some people call cheap victory. But it’s really not cheap because God already paid the price for it. All you are doing is watching to see when the cloud moves and moving with it. Those that surf do not create the waves. They simply wait for God to bring the waves and their job is to ride on it. That is faith. ‘It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned’ Heb.11:29. As you move into your next level in God every Egyptian in your life that tires to follow will drown in the Name of Jesus.

Faith is obeying God when I don’t understand it. ‘It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going’ Heb.11:8. The problem with a lot of us is that we are insisting and saying to God that until we understand it we’re not going to move. If you are going to walk with God like that you will not go anywhere. A lot of the time the things that God will lead you to do just don’t make sense. Yet be rest assured that you can never give God and come short. You may never understand it but you see if God wants to take you to a higher level, He makes you sow a seed you have never sown before. What has God asked you to sacrifice? Faith is obeying God even though sacrificing that seed does not make any sense.

Prayer: Father, help me shut the eyes of logic and plug into Your move regardless of how I feel. Help me obey You especially when I do not understand it, in Jesus Name.
