Faith Requires a Subject
Hebrews 11:1 says that “faith is the substance
of things hoped for...”
We cannot say we have faith, when we aren’t
expecting anything in particular. Our Heavenly Father requires something to
work with. When some persons pray, they pray generic prayers because they do
not want to be disappointed. Like the 11 disciples of Jesus in the storm, they
consider it ‘safe’ to stay in the boat rather than attempt to “walk on water”
(as Peter did) because they may sink. However, they forget that are ALREADY
sinking in the boat, walking on water or not.
Human wisdom says, “He that expects nothing
shall not be disappointed”, but divine wisdom says, “Ask and you shall
receive”.
The 4 lepers in 2 Kings 7 asked, “why sit
here until we die?”
Even our Lord in John 16:24 said that “Hitherto
have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may
be full.”
Beloved, the overwhelming evidence shows that
Heaven expects you to take that ‘risk’ to walk out to the Lord, walking on
water.
I dare you to have a HOPE today; for “hope
maketh not ashamed” (Rom 5:5)
Turn you to the stronghold, you prisoners of
hope: even today do I declare that I will restore double unto you. – Zec 9:12.
AMEN.
More Blessings await you today; you’ll not
miss them in Jesus Name.
