KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 11:17 KJV “Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.”
Faith is that supernatural power of God, that works through the heart of men and knows no impossibility. Mar 9:23 KJV” Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”. The wording of our key scripture suggests the Lord Jesus came to know that Lazarus had been dead, for four days when He got to Bethany where Mary and Martha were. Knowing that he had been in the grave for four days, did not move Him. Jesus had been in touch with the Father, and so He knew what was going to be the outcome of the condition.
Circumstances or situations has overwhelmed many because they look at the enormity of the event, and not at the almightiness of God, and what He has said in His word. Jeremiah 32:17 KJV “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:”
Apostle Smith Wigglesworth, used to say, he is not moved by the circumstances but rather, he is moved by what he believes. According to the bible your faith in God, is the great force to calm down every opposition. Every threatening condition is an opposition, and your faith can stop it. Eph 6:16 KJV” Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
In light of the great potency of our faith, and its corresponding importance, we must make sure our faith is ever ready to deal with every opposition that comes against us. Remember faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Give time to receiving the word that builds faith in you. Praying often in the Spirit also builds up the faith of a man. One who prays often, naturally feels prepared to stand up against the threats of darkness. Jud 1:20 KJV” But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, “The other things that strengthen faith is to put the word of God into practice. Do everything to raise your faith to a higher level always.
CONFESSION
My faith is my victory against any opposition I encounter. I win always over every attack of the devil, and do not submit to the threat or magnitude of the condition. With faith all things are possible to him who believes.
THOUGHT: LET THE GREATNESS ,OR THE POTENTIALS OF FAITH, CONTROL YOU , THAN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CHALLENGE.
