If we’re serious about experiencing victory as we stand for the restoration of our marriages, we MUST learn to live and walk by faith, and when that’s an area of weakness in our stand, we’re obviously not devoting enough time and study to understanding everything the Bible tells us about how important it is. And Hebrews 11:32-34 leaves little doubt that everything we’re standing for is accomplished through faith, because it says And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. And what more do we want or need than to have our weakness turned to strength, the ability to conquer the kingdoms trying to kill steal and destroy our husbands, marriages and families, and to gain what has been promised? Since EVERYTHING we want is accomplished through faith, we should be willing to do WHATEVER it takes to help us have the faith necessary to walk and live by faith NO MATTER WHAT WE HEAR AND SEE. So in addition to spending a lot more serious time studying the Bible, we are blessed to have messages like the ones from Dr. Creflo Dollar from yesterday and today. So I strongly encourage you to watch Faith and How it Works (Part 1) and Faith and How it Works (Part 2), and have a notepad handy for making notes. And it would be a very good idea to print out Hebrews 11:32-34 and put it on your refrigerator, or even on your bathroom mirror…somewhere you’ll see and READ it often! Faith IS the key that unlocks the door to all of our dreams, and whether or not we develop it is up to us and it’s something no one else can do for us.
