By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. --Hebrews 11:30-31

 

So many great men and women are mentioned in the Bible, not because of personal greatness, but because their faith pleased God. And as a result, God used their faith to miraculously change their lives and the lives of those around them.

 

You may be in a situation today that seems impossible. Perhaps your life is literally spinning out of control. Let me assure you…if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then your faith can make the impossible…possible.

 

In the book of Luke, Jesus said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

 

But to have this kind of faith, let me remind you to do these three things:

  • First, surrender your life completely to the Lord and worship Him in the way you live your life;
  • Second, be completely obedient to what He calls you to do;
  • And third, never stop believing and trusting in Him.

 

Faith is not just hoping that God will come through as He promised…it is knowing that He will, no matter how bleak your situation might look.

 

GOD CAN USE YOUR FAITH TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND YOU.
