BE STRONG IN FAITH 1

“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;”?? ??
Romans? ?4:19-20? ?(KJV)????????
Main Text:

The Bible records that Abraham believed God and it was credited to him for righteousness. God was so moved by the faith of Abraham that He gave to him the gift of righteousness - Genesis 15:6. In our opening scripture, Paul is letting the church know that Abraham so believed in what the Lord had said, that he did not consider the physical circumstances.  He refused to lay his focus on the age of his body or the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. He rather held on to what God had promised him. He was strong in faith.This is how your life must be. Your faith in the word matters. The Bible says “So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 AMP. When you walk in the consciousness of this, you would know that everything that God has said about you in His word is the reality of your life today regardless of the circumstances! But you must respond in faith. Speak only what God has said, never catch yourself responding to situations with what your physical eyes can see. See with the eyes of the spirit.For instance, you may be facing a situation that seems like everything about your life is crumbling. What should you do? Hold on to the word!

Further Reading: Heb 11:1-3 (KJV) “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Matt 21:21 (KJV) “Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto

this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.”
