Today was a day full of worry, fear and discouragement…all in regards to support raising. I mean the enemy did a really good job at making me believe His lies today. The enemy was telling me there is NO way I will be able to raise the amount of money I need to have in six weeks. The enemy was telling me I might as well give up and throw in the towel because if God hasn’t provided for me now He isn’t going to. All day I could slowly feel myself starting to believe all these lies and starting to forget the amazing God that provides for me everything I need.
After texting my friend about how I was feeling…she suggested I just get into my car, drive and pray and spend some time with God. It was a good idea, so clearly I grabbed my keys and ran out the door. I didn’t know where I was going but I just started to drive on the back roads of my town, praying to God and asking Him to bring me the revelation I needed, the revelation that would break the lies the enemy has been telling me all day. While I was praying I suddenly remembered a moment a training camp when my friend Becky was prophesying over me “God wants you to know your greatest spiritual gift is Faith.” Just as I remembered that I heard God yell to me “before you can see the fruit you must exercise your greatest spiritual gift…FAITH.” I was suddenly reminded of the faith of Abraham, Daniel, Noah, Job and many others in the Bible that believed before they recieved.
After I heard this I found myself parked in a church parking lot….worshiping, praying to and praising God. I suddenly realized in that moment that God was building a stronghold of Faith in my heart to ward off the enemies lies. I realized that to have Faith is to trust fully in God’s plan because He obviously knows what He is doing or He would have let Noah drown in the flood, or let Daniel get mauled my the lion.
God showed up today…He made His presence in my life known once again at a time when I truly needed it. He is so unbelievably faithful to His children. There is no other way to walk down this road…except by faith in Him.
Psalm 33:4
