The Sun is Still Setting

This is kind of like part two of the last blog post that I posted:

"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ." - Romans 10:17
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. What God did back then, in the Bible times, He can do it again.

I would like to give you three steps to live by faith and to walk it out in your life:

1. We believe
"Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” - John 20:29
Nothing is impossible with God! Believing is trusting. Believe for the impossible!

Every Monday I go to one of my church's buildings for class. Last, every week without fail, there was this one guy who was probably in his twenties who would stand at the door at greet the people who came in. He would always say, 'nothing is impossible with God!' I haven't seen him this year but I saw him on Sunday night and he told me the same thing, 'nothing is impossible with God!' Just let it sink in, embrace it!

2. We speak
"It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[a] Since we have that same spirit of[b] faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. " - 2 Corinthians 4:13-14
Our words are the outcome of our faith. Speak the word of God into your life. Whateever you speak over yourself, that is what is going to happen. Believe in Word of God and speak it over your life!

3. We stand
"When the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." - Ephesians 6:13
No matter what happends, with Christ we will ALWAYS win! No matter what you're facing. Whether it be sickness, death, financial ruin, breakups, mean words, anything. God is with you and He never loses.

Today I want to to challenge you get a sticky note. I want you to write on it a scripture of faith. Place it somewhere that you can see it every day, on your mirror, in your car, by your bed, in your Bible, anywhere. Read it every day and speak it over your life.

You know sometimes we pray that God will make the sun stand still prayers. We pray for the impossible. And God loves it! But sometimes those prayers don't happen. When my dad was sick with cancer I prayed every day for the impossible. I prayed that God would miraculously heal him and that we could all go back to our normal lives. But it didn't happen. He sill died.
Sometimes we pray that the sun will stand still, but the sun still sets. Sometimes God wants the sun to stand still inside of us whenever its seems as if our prayers aren't working. Even though the sun is still setting that doesn't mean that the miracle isn't happening. When your miracle doesn't happen, than maybe your the miracle.
Let faith arise! Let faith arise inside of you!
