Look back at what Elisha said to the widow. He told her to “borrow not a few.” You can’t impoverish God. In other words, I don’t care what you ask Him for, you’re not going to break God. He’s the Creator of galaxies. How to Get Failure Out of Your Life To reach a goal, you have to live in the moment and have faith for the future. Today’s journey is a steppingstone toward tomorrow’s dream. The way to get failure out of your life, and stretch your faith for the impossible, is by being fearless. You do that by approaching God with an open heart, a clear conscience and great expectation. Be fearless by approaching God with an open heart. That widow approached Elisha with an open heart. “My husband is dead. I love my boys. The creditors are coming to take them. I need help.” Having an open heart means your spirit has no failure in it. It doesn’t even have the option to fail. If you’re in a mall and you see someone in a wheelchair, and your spirit says, Go over there and pray for them, don’t let your mind say, Control yourself, fool! Follow and obey His leading no matter what. Be fearless by approaching God with a clear conscience. Having a clear conscience means having a renewed soul. The only time I’ve had trouble in my ministry is when my soul and my spirit weren’t aligned. God has made me a smart man, but if I follow my soul, I can only go as far as my IQ. A clear conscience says, “Whatever the Spirit says, that shall I do.” Be fearless by approaching God with great expectation. If you’re not believing in your future, your future will never get to you. When Elisha said, “What shall I do for thee?” he had already been to God with an open heart and a clear conscience. That’s why he had great expectation and was able to say, “borrow not a few.” Taking It to the Impossible What happened when the widow obeyed the Lord? When she obeyed, when she stretched her faith for the impossible, she ended up with more than enough. "So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest"(verses 5-7). I’ve had to stretch my faith for the impossible, too, and to be honest, it’s not that easy on the flesh. But the truth is, the world needs people who will believe. Nothing happens until people believe. So, don’t worry about those stretch marks. Show them off. Display life for the world to see. Stretch your faith for the impossible and give them a hint of the miraculous!
