The God Kind of Faith

Faith is all around us. People have faith in so many different things: faith that a friend will be true, faith that your job is taking you on a certain career path, faith that a diet pill will help them lose weight, faith that the chair you are sitting on is going to hold you up! Faith is simply believing in something.

But there are different kinds, or levels, of faith. There’s a difference between having faith in God and having the faith of God. When you open your heart to the God kind of faith, you’re actually allowing Him to believe through you. The God kind of faith will cause you to believe for things when you don’t even know how they’ll happen. And it probably won’t make sense in your mind, but you have to allow your spirit to rise higher than your thinking. Like when we tell you to look in the mirror and see yourself in your best physique even if you have not made it to that goal yet. Don’t talk yourself out of believing. Don’t focus on all the reasons why not, instead allow God’s faith to rise up within you. Meditate on His Word that says, you can do all things through Christ and you are strong in the Lord and the power of His might. As you allow God’s faith to flow through you, He’ll take you places you’ve never dreamed. You will rise higher and higher and live the abundant life the Lord has for you! How could John and I ever be where we are today without having the faith of God! You can have it too!

Just want to share one more thing with you. One of our students sent us this awesome quote: "Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, satan shudders and says, "Oh no.....she's awake!!!!" Love it!
