“But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me”
Psalms 13:5 (NLT)
Faith in God can achieve the impossible because what is impossible with man is possible with God (Luke 18:27). We can trust in God’s ability to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think, according to His power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). It therefore implies that the power of God to act in our situation ultimately depends on how we see His ability to help us, including, healing us from incurable diseases, deliver us from generational curses and the entrapment of the enemy, provide the finances to pay outstanding debt and/or embark on a business venture, destroy the powers of darkness that are operating in the lives of our families, etc. Believers, in order to achieve the extraordinary, we must possess mountain-moving faith.
The Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, is replete with men and women who received their blessings of breakthrough due to their mountain-moving faith in God. In the Old Testament, David was a teenager when he slew the 9-foot Philistine Giant named Goliath and chopped off his neck with his (Goliath’s) sword (1 Samuel 17). God Blessed barren women with children (Genesis 21:1-2, 25:21, Judges 13:2-3) and rescued young men from a fiery furnace (Daniel 3:8-27), among many others.
In the New Testament, Jesus cured the nobleman’s son (John 4:46-51), cured Peter’s mother-in-law of a fever (Mark 1:30-31), healed a leper (Mark 1:40-45), healed the centurion’s servant (Matthew 8:5-13), raised the widow’s son from the dead (Luke 7:11-17), cured the paralytic (Matthew 9:1-8), cured a woman of an issue of blood (Luke 8:43-48), opened the eyes of two blind men (Matthew 9:27-31), caused the dumb to speak (Matthew 9:32-33), and fed at least 5,000 people with minimal food (Matthew 14:15-21). The aforementioned miracles and many others were released on the recipients based on their faith and, in some cases, those that made intercession for them.
Friends, “…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 – KJV). Satan would want us to believe that God has forgotten us, that He does not care, that His apparent silence is hostility, and that we simply have no future. Whatever your present circumstances, trust in God’s loving care and compassion, He will come through. “…Resist the devil, and He will flee from you” (James 4:7). Hold onto Jesus, He is holding onto you.
