Day 128    Walking By Faith

2 Corinthians 5:7 (New International Version)

⁷ For we live by faith, not by sight.

God is calling us to live by faith in what He has said to us in His Word and not in what we feel, what we have heard or what we see all around us.  Faith in God’s Word should be our focus.

It’s a constant discipline for me to keep my thoughts and my words on what God has said and not in what I think, feel or see.  (2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV)

The best way to do that is pray the Word of God out loud so my own ears can hear it.  (Romans 10:17)

Also, I know by experience that it is very helpful to have a prayer partner who I can agree with. (Matthew 18: 19)  Our agreement must be based on what God has said in His Word.  I encourage you to find  someone who has the courage to believe what God has said—and believe me sometimes it takes courage!

The Bible says we can ask God to help us believe.  In Mark 9:24 the boy’s father said, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.”  That must have meant there was a level of unbelief there.  He cried out, “Help me, God” and we can too!!

Whenever you sincerely go to God and ask for help, He is there and he will scoop you up in His arms and help you.  Thank God forever.   What a loving Father we have!

Speaking the Word, either to yourself or to your prayer partner, creates an atmosphere of faith where God can work.  You are inviting the Almighty God into your air space to accomplish what He so desires to do—heal you.

This may not happen in an instant.  Sometimes it’s over the course of time, but each time you speak the truth of God’s Word, your faith increases and the atmosphere becomes saturated in the very presence of God.

·         Go back over the scriptures in this blog and talk to God about them.  I always say, “God will be as personal as you want Him to be,” so go ahead and ask!

·         What does “taking every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5) mean to you?

Prayer Focus:

Thank God for being personal to you and for showing you the truth regarding His provision for healing.
