WINNING EACH DAY DEVOTIONAL 2 Cor 2:14 And thanks be to God who ALWAYS causes us to triumph… November 26, 2013 THE FAITH THAT OVERCOMES 1 John 5: 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith. It’s not enough to believe that God can do anything and everything if he wants to. You must believe that he is WILLING to do what you ask of him, as long as what you ask is in accordance with his will. Do you notice that when God was talking to Abraham HE (God) did not pay attention to or EMPHASIZE what Abraham was going through (see Gen 12; 15; 17; 18; 21; Romans 4:16-22) – though he knew there were challenges? God had to help Abraham see from HIS perspective, so God took Abraham out one night and told Abraham to count the stars. When Abraham saw as God saw, it was counted to Abraham for righteousness (Gen 15:1-6). Abraham chose to believe God rather than consider his physical body, which couldn’t on its own bring God’s word to pass. Faith involves a process. There is such a thing as an INSTANT MIRACLE, but most of the time it will take a LITTLE WHILE to pull from the spirit realm and bring to this realm what God has in store for you. You must learn to hold on to God’s word. God is in the habit of taking time when he wants to do something significant in your life – so that no one will be able to explain his intervention when the manifestation takes place. Faith DOES NOT CONSIDER the deadness of the situation: Romans 4:17 does not say that God calls THE THINGS THAT EXIST AS THOUGH THEY DO NOT. Faith is not denying that there are challenges – this has caused misery and sorrow in the lives of many. The proof that it is faith is in the OVERCOMING of difficulties (1 Cor 15:57) CONFESSION: Despite and in spite of what is happening around me, I choose to believe God – and act like he would do if he was going through the same thing.
