Title: “Increase the capacity of your faith!”
Contents
History has never made its own, no matter what era. Nothing happens by chance. There is a clear will, and the providence of God is hidden. And each time, God raised up and used people in need.
God uses those who are prepared by faith and use those who have faith (Job 1:1). God does not seek and use people, He creates and uses them.
Therefore, those who are used by God, the church and the nation are blessings. It is a blessing because you have been chosen (calling), and it is a blessing to be used (mission).
If so, who will be used? How can we increase our capacity of faith?
First, you must be trained in faith to be used.
This is the immutable law. Those who are not trained in faith cannot overcome the world. God's holy and good works are clear and certain, without compromise and form. We must pursue the truth, obey it, and fight the good fight with patience.
First, it is total commitment to God. Total entrustment is prayer. If you have this, you will receive grace and power that only God can bestow (v.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).
Abraham hoped when he could not hope (verse 21). What kind of child are you in a hundred years? As Abraham died when he was 100 years old, so his wife Sarah's womb was dead, and his faith did not weaken. So Abraham waited 25 years, and Moses, the leader of the Exodus, waited 80 years.
The word waiting refers to the period of spiritual training. Let's not give out a business card for 40 days of prayer. Don't count with your head. If it doesn't happen in my time, think about whether it will be accomplished in my children's generation. With this kind of faith, what kind of things will not be accomplished? Do you want to teach only the Red Sea?
Second, we must experience the virtuous cycle of grace.
I don't get answers because I don't pray, and I don't pray because I don't get answers. Because there is no answer, I do not have the heart to pray at all, and I do not even think of receiving an answer because I do not pray at all. To borrow a well-learned philosophical term, we call this "a dialectical vicious circle."
But the way of faith is never like that. Simple.
"Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
'Trust it and try it. Things happen.' That's it. This is the “virtuous cycle of grace”. Change your mind. Change your mind!!. The man of God overcomes the world with this. There is a limit to a person's thoughts and abilities. Following the will of heaven is the foundation of wisdom. A miracle is that the laws of nature are governed by the laws of the supernatural. The God who made the laws can also rule the laws. The problem is the capacity of our faith.
Third, there must be training in grace that goes beyond the limits of the body.
Those who are spiritually lazy who wish to fall persimmons under the persimmon tree cannot experience God's miracles.
There is the grace of God that we receive only when we overcome the limitations of the flesh.
You must see Esther, who went before King Ahasuerus, saying, "If I die, I will die" without eating or drinking for three days. If the body cannot get up once in the morning and cannot fast for three days, then that person just lives and goes.
How can a person who has never had a morning prayer meeting in his life expect God's grace?
I hope you will become a great saint who builds the infrastructure of faith with a new life that breaks through the limits of the body.
character!! Arise and open new horizons of faith (Isaiah 60:1-3)!!
