Every believer I know has some problem in life they want God to fix. Some of those problems are big and some are small, but almost everyone is dealing with something. That’s just the way it is in this fallen world. Even for those of us who are faith people, there’s always a challenge to overcome. There’s a mountain of some kind looming large in front of us. Each time another one crops up, the devil tries to use it to discourage us. “This time you’re facing the impossible,” he says. “This time the problem is going to defeat you. No matter how much you try to believe God, this mountain is not going to move.” The devil, however, is a liar. The truth is, we can speak to the mountain by faith, tell it to be removed, and it will obey us (Mark 11:23). As believers we don’t have to let the devil—or our natural circumstances either, for that matter—dictate what can happen for us. We’re born-again children of the Most High God. We have on our side the One for whom “all things are possible…” (Matthew 19:26) and His power is unlimited. He can do the supernatural and work miracles for His people. There’s nothing too hard for Him! It doesn’t matter whether it’s cancer, divorce or financial problems, God can fix anything in your life. He can turn any situation around. All He needs is for you to give Him one thing to work with—the spirit of faith! What exactly is the spirit of faith? It’s the spirit that makes us, as God’s people, “more than conquerors” in every situation (Romans 8:37). It’s the attitude of heart the Apostle Paul talked about when, in the midst of one of the most trying times of his life, he wrote: "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:13, 16-18). * * * article continues on page 28 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Points to Get You There: God can fix any problem you’ll ever face, as long as you give Him the spirit of faith to work with! 1. The spirit of faith doesn’t focus on the problem—it focuses on God. 2 Corinthians 4:18 2. God is on your side and He can do anything. Matthew 19:26 3. You can always win the victory if you have faith in your heart and in your mouth. 2 Corinthians 4:13 4. Words of faith can move any mountain. Mark 11:23 5. However much Word you deposit in your heart, that’s how much spirit of faith you’re going to have. Romans 10:17 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BVOV : 27
