God desires to visit His church with great power and authority. With this comes signs, miracles, wonders, salvations, deliverances, unity, judgements, justice, restoration, commissionings and mantles. God wants to partner with His church and people to bring these things to pass (Amos 3:7). He is looking for those who are willing and available. This partnership is based on faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:1-3 (NKJV)
What is faith? It is confidence in God and His Word. It is knowing that even though our current situation is not good, it will turn around because God is working on our behalf. Faith is confidence in His promises. He promised that He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28-32). His promises will come to pass.
In order for us to see these promises, we must live and meditate on His word. His word is true. Joshua stayed in the tent with the presence of God and lingered there (Exodus 33:7-11). Joshua did not let the distractions move his gaze from God. We can’t let distractions take our focus. Our gaze must be set on Him. When we linger with God and commune with Him, our faith increases. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). The word of God must be believed in the heart and confessed with the mouth (Romans 10:5-13). When we believe in His word, we will never be put to shame.
When our faith increases, our words become power. Our words will come to pass (Job 22:28). Whatever we decide on, will be done. God is going to use us to change things with the atmosphere and the nation. When we speak a thing, it shall come to pass (Mark 4:35-41, 11:20-24).
Our words are power. We must speak life over our situation. We must become violent in spirit. The kingdom suffers violence but the violent take it by force. Fear and faith does not work together. Faith is the antidote for fear. In spite of the fall in economy, our faith must be rooted in Christ. God has cheques with our names on it. He has a cheque for our business and family.
