Sometimes God is going to lead us on a road that might seem foggy or the unpopular route... Sometimes the road He wants us to go on is going to cost us... By faith we have to trust in the Lord that He is faithful... His wisdom surpasses ours. Many times there is a bigger blessing at the end that we would have never received if we did our will instead of His will...

Sometimes you have to step out on faith... Sometimes God tells you to do something and you don’t know how you are going to get by, but you have to trust in the Lord... He will provide what is needed... By faith you do what is right not what is easy...

We must trust the Lord in impossible situations... Some of you are going through the worst pain of your life... You need to come to a place of absolute faith in the Lord... We should say this... (God may your will be done!) We need to absolutely trust in the Lord even if it means death... Many times when we start to fully rely upon the Lord in our situation God starts to move...

We want you to know that God is faithful... Many of you are weary but, God is going to deliver you soon... Don’t give up! God has made you a promise and He is going to keep the promise...

We try to do so many things in the flesh today, but the battle is won in prayer... There are many mountains and walls that seek to slow you down... Doing things in the flesh will not remove them... We have to learn how to rely on the power of the living God... So many churches today are filled with entertainment, music and things of the world... But, the power of God is not in it...

Doing things in the flesh will never get the job done... We have to be people of faith... We have to be men and women of prayer... The battle is won in prayer. The walls in front of you will fall in prayer... Do we as Christians even believe this anymore? We must believe God will answer. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks, sometimes 2 months, and sometimes 2 years...

So many miraculous things were done by pure faith without even a Bible... Why aren’t these things being done today? Today we don’t know about true faith... Men of God back in the day would be alone with God for years for hours a day... They would raise dead nations with the power of the Holy Spirit... They were dangerous men who would walk by faith without fear of losing their life... Their trust was in God alone... These days Christians don’t really want to know God...

We say things like I’m ready! You don’t have to pump up faith... Many times people only have faith for a current trial that they are going through... God wants to give you a faith that lasts your whole life for different trials that you go through in life... He wants to prepare you.

He wants you to totally rest on Him... God wants you to be still to whatever comes... You can trust God in the storm... God wants you to rest in His love... He knows what’s best... We don’t have to try to figure out why or question God or worry about if we are being tested... Stop leaning on your own understanding...

Stand up against the enemy in faith... Stop saying maybe it’s because of this or maybe it’s because I did this... No! Don’t doubt... Be quiet and trust in the Lord... Rest on Him! Some of our greatest prayers are in silence... Sometimes all you have to say is help.

We must have faith that God hears us... Sometimes we pray our hearts out for a long period of time and we see no evidence of change... Don’t give up... Man’s hour of darkness is God’s hour of power... Stars can’t shine without darkness... Many times the answer seems so clear to us... We say God all that you have to do is this or that... Have faith! God can fix your situation in a moment... God knows how to deliver you... God had a solution for your trial before you even entered into your trial... God knows what He is doing He doesn’t need our advice.

FAITH

We must be on guard from unbelief... God hurts when we doubt Him especially when He has delivered us from previous trials... Some people say He just doesn’t answer anymore and they give up... They start to backslide in prayer and once you backslide in prayer then you backslide everywhere else... Unbelief opens up sins of all kinds... The doubt needs to be removed... Is God not faithful? Is there anything that He can’t do? Stop doubting His love for you... God is not mad at you... Believe! You can trust God!

Back in the day greater faith meant a greater knowledge and presence of God in your life... Greater faith would lead to a revival... Greater faith would lead to a compassion for God’s people... Greater faith would lead to sacrifice... Greater faith would lead to spending more time with God... We need faith!

Who’s going to be that faithful servant of God who is going to seek God in the trial and believe His promises? Who by faith is going to seek God not for what He can give, but just for Him? You can’t have the power of God without faith... You won’t grow in faith until you know Him intimately... You can trust God!
