FAITH’S DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS

“Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” – Acts 27:25

God has framed a glorious future for all of His children. Believe it! However, for your future to become fully fulfilled, for your Vision and dreams to become “substance,” your faith must be demonstrated in three dynamic dimensions: your faith must SEE…SPEAK…and ACT. Your faith must be ready to visualize, vocalize and venture.

Faith is not blind! Faith SEES with the eyes of the spirit; faith VISUALIZES – “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2Cor.4:18). God’s Word – not natural circumstances – should create the images of the unseen future within you. Don’t get so wrapped up in the “seen” circumstances that you fail to perceive the “unseen” spiritual realities. Perception prevents perplexity!

Faith is not dumb! Faith SPEAKS and SAYS what God IS saying – the Proceeding Word from the mouth of the Lord: “But the righteousness which is of faith SPEAKETH in this wise…” (Rom.10:6). Faith VOCALIZES the Word. God has said a lot about your future, and He is still speaking. He says, “And there is hope in thine end…” (Jer.31:17a). When the Lord has said it, who else do you wish to hear? Begin to confess, declare and proclaim what God has said and is saying concerning your life and destiny. Refuse to echo the enemy’s voice. Mark 11:23 says “You shall have what you say”, yet many of us are simply saying what we have! Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Beloved, the Keys of the Kingdom are turned by your tongue (Matt.16:18-19).

Faith is not lame! Faith ACTS by divine impulse and according to the inspiration and instructions of the Holy Spirit, not by the dictates of the flesh of the senses: “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2Cor.5:7). The absolute premise of faith is that as we act God acts. We respond to Him by faith, and He responds to us by faith. Faith VENTURES where doubt retreats and fear paralyses. Faith without corresponding action is fake. The faith that fails to venture may likely fail. The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention. Faith is the divine Venture that turns life into a Victorious Adventure!

Beloved, you must never leave your future blank or bleak. You future must not be left to “fate”! It must be fashioned by faith in line with God’s design and Will. You are not meant to be a wanderer in the wilderness of life. You are not meant to merely occupy space and time. It is time to visualize, vocalize and venture into your God-designed future by faith! No matter the storms that may come your way, believe God and begin to declare that “it shall be even as it was told me” (Acts 27:25).
