Seeking Jesus First Jan. 8, 2024
Pray the solution not the problem.
“Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”” (Romans 4:16–22, NKJV)
God called those things that did not exist as though they did. Abraham believed God and considered God’s ability instead of his own. When we have faith in God, we tap into the divine empowerment of God. When we believe God, we receive His grace to be and to do. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask, think or imagine. All things are possible to the one who believes. We have received the D I V I N E N A T U R E of GOD. We I M I T A T E GOD as dearly beloved children of GOD and we walk in love. The love of God floods our hearts by The Holy Spirit which God has given to us.
If we are able to walk in the love of GOD by faith, what else are we empowered to be and do by His grace? We are empowered by grace through faith to call those things that do not exist as though they do. Those who have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness by faith do reign in life through Christ Jesus.
God declared the end from the beginning. His words are the final words on any situation. God’s words are the “trump card” to sin, sickness, poverty, the curse and the devil.
When we pray God’s words, we pray the solution and not the problem.
