Blind Faith

The trial of your faith means you are being tried in what you believe. The trial of Joseph’s faith took him to the palace. It was not an easy way. God is not in time. He has already seen in the future the things we are not seeing! The circumstances we in now are what we begin to meditate and focus on. That’s what brings worry and doubt. All the things we are going through around us works patience in us.

 God wants you to ask anything by faith. Reacting to circumstances to God is asking without faith. Not wavering is the only way to receive from God according to James.

 This trying of our faith is worth so much more if we endure the trials. When we are tried, we receive the rewards of the Lord. Be content even in your trial. He wants to produce Christ in us. He wants to increase Himself in us so we don’t have lack of anything. We must be single-minded and stable no matter what it looks like in a storm or in any situation.

We have to believe that He won’t let us go to the left or to the right. The devil wants to steal that seed. Something does not look right, but we must believe He is still leading us. He is always there in the midst. The promise came. That Promised Land is Him! The faith is what we should store up in heaven. From that faith, we will get our reward. The Word of God is directing us, just like all the things in the beginning when He spoke to us, giving us direction. We keep moving and keep having faith in Him!

Some people are sitting and waiting all the time, waiting for confirmation. All the time! Confirmation is not needed for those who are led by God and His Spirit. He confirms automatically. Whatever direction you move, right or left, you are being led by Him! Sometimes we need to go backward to go forward. Sometimes we need to decrease to increase. If your heart is not to make a mistake and to obey, He is our Father. He will make sure we are going in the right direction even if we make mistakes with a humble heart. He will turn us and it around. Under pressure we need to stay on course. When pressure is on, the enemy comes in to try to bring doubt and unbelief. We must learn to shut the mouth of the adversary.

You must ask Him, knowing He loves you, and He will give you whatever you need to take you in the right direction. You say, “God, I don’t know your will, but lead me,” then you get up and move. The Father gets up to lead you. The enemy will try to bring confusion, telling you that you don’t hear Him. Once you know Him, you know IT. Act on what you know and on what you believe. He is His Word, and He is faithful to complete that which He began.

We are kept by the fire of God. If you don’t see it or feel it, we are still kept by His fire. Circumstances don’t matter. Abraham had relationship with God and was kept by His fire. Faith is the currency of heaven that we deposit all the time! Without faith, we can’t please God. Period! Faith does not look like anything that the carnal eyes can behold. You can’t really see faith with carnal eyes. The only time you see faith is after it produces the substance that you were believing for. That's why it has works.

We need to flee from the temptation of going ahead of God, like Abraham and Sarah did. God said, “I want to do it this way or go in this direction,” but they looked at themselves: “We are getting old, we need to do something, or we won’t inherit the promise. This is taking too long. We are getting older. Has God forgotten us?" Then we try to help God, and then we get into a mess when try do it in the flesh. We need to believe that God will move and do whatever He wants when and how He wants. This type of faith is unshakable and is the only type He wants.

The Word does not say, “All things work together easily,” but, “work together for HIS good pleasure.” God wants to work with people that give Him pleasure, the foolish things of the world, the kind of people like us. These are the chosen ones! They don't have it all together so God gets the glory.

Trust God when all the ducks are in a row and when they are all over the place. The fear the Lord is faith. That will keep you. Fear of the world is a faith killer.

Blind faith! You may not know about tomorrow, but you still believe. Walk by faith not by sight. You are rich not because your bank account said so? No. Because you have God! You are healed because you don’t have pain? No. Because His Word said so! Don’t speak out of what you feel or see, but by the Word of God.

Abel believed God but never saw Him. He was found righteous because of his faith. Enoch walked with God – the invisible God became visible because of his righteousness and obedience. Blind faith shows itself when we walk in it! The evidence of your belief will speak at the end.

When we believe God, works show it! The kingdom will expand in our lives. We need to trust Him. Speak His promises in any situation! Keep seeking diligently. This will show the evidence that you believe Him. When we walk in faith, we walk in obedience.

I don’t see the rain. I don’t see any clouds. But I believe it is going to rain because He said it. Ask Noah. Abraham kept walking and believing. And God led Him! Your Faith cannot be in what you see. Keep walking by faith! Man does not know the future. God does. Keep your faith on Him so He will prepare you for any storm! He knows the future. When He tells it to you, it’s up to you to believe Him. That is where faith comes from, by hearing and believing Him. Abraham did not know where he was going, but He went.

God wants to eliminate the little Ishmael that comes along the way. That is why He is leading us by His spirit. You take that leap of faith because you heard Him! Keep speaking the vision, especially when it has not come to pass yet! That shows God your faith! That is why He said to speak those things that are not as though they are. Why, because to God it has already happened!

He will increase us if our faith increases inside of us, if our faith is not in our own strength. We pray that our faith will be increased in every area. Faith in Him that we are saved. We will see in the natural what we believe in the supernatural. He is a God of Truth and mercy. It is His good pleasure to give us His kingdom! Take it by Faith!
