Faith

Where Is Your Faith?

“And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, AMP).

Beloved, consider this: Do you trust God with every detail of your life? He, who spoke the universe into existence and holds all things together by the power of His Word, has promised to meet your every need. Yet, how often do we doubt His faithfulness? When trials arise, when answers seem delayed, or when life feels uncertain, where is your faith? Jesus asked His disciples the same question in the midst of the storm: “Where is your faith [your confidence in Me]?” (Luke 8:25, AMP).

The God who provided manna in the wilderness, healed the sick, and raised the dead is unchanging. To Him, there is no difference between resurrection, healing, or providing food for today. Each act flows from His infinite power and is accomplished according to His perfect will. The determining question is always: “Is it in the will of God, and how will it bring glory to Him?”

Trusting God’s Provision

Faith rests not in what we see but in who God is. Jesus taught, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7, AMP). Yet He also instructed us to pray, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10, AMP). This is the foundation of faith—trusting God’s will above our own, knowing that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).

The Apostle Paul exemplified this trust when he wrote: “I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances” (Philippians 4:11, AMP). Whether in abundance or lack, Paul relied on Christ’s strength, not his situation. This kind of faith declares, “I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me” (Philippians 4:13, AMP).

Whether it is resurrection, healing, or daily provision, each miracle reveals God’s sovereignty and invites us to trust Him. What matters is not the size of the miracle but whether it aligns with God’s purposes and brings glory to Him. As Jesus said of Lazarus’ sickness, “It is for the glory and honor of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it” (John 11:4, AMP).

A Testimony of Trust

A friend once shared how she prayed for peace and provision during a difficult season. She expected immediate answers, but God’s response came differently than she imagined. Instead of an instant solution, He provided strength through His Word, encouragement through prayer, and joy in unexpected places. Her story reminded me that God’s provision often extends beyond meeting physical needs—it touches our hearts, strengthens our faith, and draws us closer to Him.

This aligns with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:25-33 (AMP):

“Do not worry, saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’… But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you also.”

God’s provision is not limited to physical sustenance; it encompasses peace in chaos, joy in sorrow, and strength in weakness. His answers may not always match our expectations, but they are always for our good and His glory.

Faith That Trusts, Not Presumes

True faith does not demand specific outcomes but surrenders to the perfect will of God. Job declared in his suffering, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15, AMP). This is the kind of faith that clings to God for who He is, not simply for what He gives.

God’s power remains the same in every work—whether raising the dead, healing the sick, or providing daily bread. To us, these acts may seem unequal, but to God, they are all part of His sovereign plan. The question we must ask ourselves is not “Can God do this?” but, “Is it His will, and how will it glorify Him?”

Where Is Your Faith?

Beloved, where is your faith? Do you trust God only when His blessings are visible, or do you trust Him in the silence, the waiting, and the unanswered prayers? God’s ultimate purpose is not merely to meet our earthly needs but to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). When trials come, trust that He is working all things for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28). Let your faith rise today, anchored in the unchanging truth of who He is.

He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. Whether He meets a need through miraculous intervention or sustains us through patience and endurance, His faithfulness remains unshaken. Trust Him, for He never fails.

A Prayer for Faith and Salvation

O Lord, we come to You knowing that You are the God of all power and provision. Forgive us for the times we’ve doubted Your faithfulness or sought to measure Your love by our circumstances. Teach us to trust You in all things—in the moments of joy and the times of uncertainty.

Father, I pray for anyone reading this who does not yet know You. If they feel distant, draw them close by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Open their eyes to see the love You’ve poured out through Jesus Christ, who died and rose again for their salvation. For those who know You, Lord, deepen their faith. Help us to trust You not for what You give but for who You are.

Lord, we surrender our lives to You, trusting You as Savior, Provider, and King. Thank You for Your perfect will, Your unending love, and Your faithfulness to meet our every need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Exhortation

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5, AMP). Seek Him daily, press into His presence, and let your faith grow deeper as you walk with Him. If you don’t yet know Jesus, call upon His name today. He is ready to forgive, save, and transform your life. For those who already know Him, take heart—He is faithful. Where is your faith? Let it rest fully in Him who never fails.

You are seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6). You are a citizen of heaven, and your life is hidden with Christ in God (Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:3). Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Faith

Faith That Clings

Beloved, reflect on the faith of Jairus. He came to Jesus not just for healing but for life itself. His daughter lay at the point of death, and he knew that only the Lord could save her. He cast aside all pride and doubt, falling at Jesus’ feet and crying out for Him to come to his house. Yet, on the way, the news came that shattered any hope he might have held in the natural: “Your daughter has died. Why bother the Teacher any further?” (Mark 5:35, AMP).

How often have you felt the same? You’ve prayed, you’ve believed, but the situation has gone from bad to worse. What you hoped for seems lost. But listen to the words of Jesus to Jairus, words that still speak to you today: “Do not be afraid; only keep on believing” (Mark 5:36, AMP). Even when it seems like the promise has died, even when the delay feels endless, trust in the One who has power over death and life.

Jairus didn’t turn back. He didn’t let the news of death stop him. He clung to Jesus, walking with Him all the way to his house. His faith wasn’t just in what Jesus could do—it was in who Jesus is. This is the kind of faith you must have: a faith that clings to Jesus even when the situation seems hopeless, even when the world declares it is over.

When Jesus arrived at Jairus’ home, the mourners laughed at Him. To them, the situation was final. Death had already taken hold. But Jesus dismissed them, declaring, “The child is not dead but sleeping” (Mark 5:39, AMP). Beloved, what seems dead to you is only asleep in the hands of the Savior. When the Lord enters the house, life returns, healing flows, and restoration begins.

Even now, the Lord is coming to His house—His Church. He brings not just healing for what is broken but resurrection for what is lost. But will you walk with Him in faith? Will you trust Him even when the promise seems delayed, even when the situation appears beyond repair? The faith of Jairus calls you to cling to the Lord, to press into His presence, and to believe that His power is greater than any loss.

Pressing in Until Full Restoration

Jairus didn’t stop at the news of death, and neither should you. When the Lord enters His house, He comes to restore not partially but completely. Jairus’ daughter was not only healed; she was brought back to life. The Lord doesn’t just give back what was taken; He restores it abundantly. The thief must repay sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31), and the Lord promises to restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).

But restoration requires faith that presses in. Do not let go after the first sign of healing. Stay close to the Lord. Like Jairus, walk with Him all the way. Trust Him to bring life to every area where the enemy has brought death. Trust Him to restore joy, hope, and purpose. And trust Him to give abundantly more than you could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

A Call to Faith

Beloved, the Lord is coming to His house, and His presence will bring healing and restoration. But will you trust Him fully? Will you cling to Him when the promise seems delayed, when the report seems final, when hope feels lost? Do not be afraid; only keep on believing. The One who enters the house has power over every situation. He will restore everything the enemy has stolen—and more.

Let your faith rise, even in the face of death. Press into the Lord until His presence fills the house and His promises are fulfilled. Cling to Him, trust in Him, and believe that His restoration will be complete, overflowing, and abundant.

A Prayer for Faith and Restoration

Lord Jesus, we thank You for the faith of Jairus, who trusted You even when all seemed lost. Help us to cling to You in the same way, to walk with You through every delay and doubt, and to believe in Your power to restore. We invite You into Your house, Lord—into our lives, our church, and our circumstances. Bring healing where there is brokenness, life where there is death, and restoration where the enemy has stolen. We trust You for more, Lord, even to the overflow. In Your mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Blessing

A Call to Restoration and Healing

Beloved, as you come near to the heart of God, know that His blessing is not as the world gives, fleeting and passing. His blessing is eternal, born of a love that endures beyond all time. When we turn our hearts to Him, He meets us with healing in the deepest places, bringing a restoration that only He can give. His touch renews the soul and strengthens the spirit; His peace fills every empty place, reaching even into the brokenness we carry.

Saying “Yes” to God Invites His Healing and Restoration

“If anyone desires to follow after Me,” Jesus spoke, “let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24). When we answer this call, we say “yes” to His invitation. Beloved, this “yes” is a holy surrender, an opening of our lives to His mercy and grace. It is in this yielding that God restores what was lost. Like Isaiah, who heard the voice of God calling, “Whom shall I send?” he answered, “Here am I; send me!” (Isaiah 6:8).

So, too, may we respond, for our “yes” brings the Lord near to us. It is in this nearness that His hand mends what is torn, His Spirit breathes life over what feels barren, and He pours out the oil of gladness over all sorrow.

God’s Blessing Brings Lasting Peace

Beloved, when God blesses, He speaks peace that endures. It is written, “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:24-26). Picture His face turned toward you, His countenance upon you—He delights in you, fills you with light, and guards your path with His everlasting peace.

This is the blessing of God. It is more than a fleeting comfort; it is an abiding presence that fills us with courage, making us steady even in the storms. His blessing is not merely for the moment, but for eternity. As you receive His peace, know that it is a foundation upon which you can rest, for His Word is true and His love unfailing.

God’s Healing Touch Brings Joy and Hope

In saying “yes” to God’s call, we do not merely receive healing, but a joy that overflows, a hope that anchors us. Paul writes, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” (Romans 15:13). The blessing of God is not only to heal but to restore the joy of our salvation, bringing a hope that cannot be shaken.

This hope is not as the world gives, uncertain and fleeting. It is a deep assurance, a firm confidence that His hand holds us, and His Spirit within us fills us with joy and peace. In every trial and through every season, this hope remains, for it is rooted in God, who cannot fail.

God’s Abundant Blessing Exceeds All Expectations

Beloved, when you say “yes” to God, His blessings go beyond what we can ask or imagine. Paul reminds us, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (Ephesians 3:20). The Lord’s generosity knows no bounds. His blessings overflow, filling every place of emptiness and need with His abundance.

Trust in His abundance, for He is the One who holds all things in His hands. When we walk in obedience, His blessings do not come in mere measure but in overflowing fullness. He blesses beyond what we can understand, reaching into every hidden place, bringing peace and joy that surpasses understanding.

So, dear one, step into His call, for the Lord is faithful to all He has promised. In your “yes,” He will restore, heal, and bless. His peace will fill your heart, His joy will renew your spirit, and His blessing will surround you like a shield. His love for you endures beyond all things, and His promises are sure.

Walk in the light of His blessing, for He has called you by name. Embrace His peace, knowing that He is with you now and forever. Let your heart rest in His faithful love, for His blessings are eternal, and His favor is upon you.

Visions

Return to the Dance

I beheld a great and terrible scene upon the earth, and it was as though the heavens themselves trembled. I stood upon a high mountain, and before me stretched the land, dry and parched, longing for the rain of righteousness. The people were gathered in a multitude, their faces marked by confusion and doubt, torn between the ways of the world and the path of the Almighty.

And behold, there came a prophet, Elijah, clad in rough garments of hair, his eyes burning with the fervor of the Lord. He stood tall upon the heights of the mountain, and his voice thundered like the roar of many waters, calling out to the assembly, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him” (1 Kings 18:21, AMP).

The Hebrew word pasach illuminates the depth of Elijah’s question. It signifies a hesitant movement, like hopping back and forth, unable to commit. This same word is also used in the account of the Passover (Exodus 12:13, 23, 27), where God “passed over” the homes of His covenant people, sparing them from death. Elijah’s challenge carried this dual imagery: God’s people were meant to dance in joyful covenant with Him, but instead, they limped in indecision, torn between God and Baal. The Complete Jewish Bible renders the verse, “How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions?” Elijah confronted not only their idolatry but also their hesitation to fully commit to God.

The people stood silent, the wind whispering through the dry leaves, carrying the weight of their indecision. Creation seemed to hold its breath. Elijah then spoke to the prophets of Baal, four hundred and fifty in number: “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many. Call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it” (1 Kings 18:25, AMP).

The prophets of Baal leapt and danced around their altar, crying out, “O Baal, answer us!” But their dance of worship turned into a limp of futility. As they cut themselves, their blood gushing, Baal demanded pain but offered no answer. Their frantic efforts bore no fruit, and the heavens remained silent.

Elijah then rebuilt the altar of the Lord, repairing what had been broken. He used twelve stones, representing the tribes of Israel, to signify the covenant relationship between God and His people. The altar was drenched with water, emphasizing the impossible nature of what was about to occur. Then Elijah prayed, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel, and that I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word” (1 Kings 18:36, AMP).

Fire fell from heaven, consuming the offering, the wood, the stones, and even the water in the trench. The flames roared like the voice of God, bright as the midday sun. The people fell on their faces, crying out, “The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!” (1 Kings 18:39, AMP).

The Call to Return

This ancient confrontation mirrors the spiritual state of today. Like Israel, many have hesitated between the covenant dance of God and the destructive limp of the world. America, once protected and prospered by the blessings of covenant with God, has traded partners. The nation dances to the tune of modern idols, limping under the weight of spiritual compromise.

But God’s message remains: “Return to Me with all your heart. Cast away your idols and the false gods you have followed. Choose this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15, AMP). His call is urgent, His invitation clear. The choice is between the dance of Passover, symbolizing freedom, life, and covenant, or the limp of idolatry, marked by bondage, pain, and death.

Let us cry out as David did: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, AMP). May our repentance lead us back to the altar, where God’s fire refines, restores, and revives.

A Prayer for Renewal

Father, we confess our hesitation and our turning away from You. Forgive us for dancing with idols when we should have been walking in covenant with You. We repent for allowing the distractions and deceptions of this world to pull us from Your presence.

Restore our hearts, O Lord, and lead us back to the joyful dance of Your covenant. Pour out the rain of righteousness on our dry and weary land. Let the fire of Your Spirit consume the altars of false worship and revive us in Your truth. May we, like Elijah, boldly proclaim, “The Lord, He is God!” and lead others to return to You.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb. Amen.

Let the rain of righteousness fall, and let the limp of idolatry be healed! The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!
