Power of Faith - You Can Unleash the Favor of God Through the Power of Faith!
Faith! It is everything if you aspire to success.
If you are the kind of person who says, "I'll believe it when I see it," you don't need faith because you don't KNOW faith.
Faith is believing before seeing.
If you are that kind of person who has no understanding or need of faith, then it is very likely that the POWER that faith unleashes may never be available to you.
2 Corinthians 6:2 says, "...
now is the time of God's favor.
" That means that God wants to show you His goodness, his favor right now...
not tomorrow, not next week, but right now! But are you ready to receive His favor.
Well the answer depends on your faith because faith especially, "right-now" faith, is needed to fully receive "right -now" favor.
(Favor is word that simply means undeserved blessings from God...
also known as Grace) Imagine you have been in a desert without "water" for days maybe weeks.
You feel as though you are literally dying of thirst.
All around you, there is nothing but parched earth, sand and no vegetation.
(Sound familiar?) Now imagine, right now, God wants to quench your thirst by raining down fresh living water, but how will you collect the water? Where is your container? What is the size of the container? What no container...
that could mean you get little to NO water.
The container is a metaphor for your faith and water being a metaphor for God's favor or grace.
The GREATER your faith the MORE you are able to receive God's favor.
And the greater your RIGHT-NOW FAITH the greater your RIGHT-NOW FAVOR.
So here is a question.
How's your container? Where's your container? Is it ready right now? How big is it? Are you expecting rain today, how about right now...
or are you expecting more thirst and more desert? Take for instance Mel Fisher, a dreamer, a visionary, and a legendary treasure hunter.
Mel Fisher had extraordinary faith and suffered many personal losses to keep his dream alive during his 16 year search for the Spanish treasure galleon the Atocha.
He endured over 100 court battles which would finally end in victory in the US Supreme Court.
The riches Mel Fisher and his team had worked so hard for all those years were finally theirs.
The $450 million dollar treasure cache or "Atocha Mother Lode" would be found on that momentous day, July 20, 1985.
Over 40 tons of silver and gold were located including over 100,000 Spanish silver coins known as "Pieces of Eight", gold coins, Columbian emeralds, silver and gold artifacts and over 1000 silver bars.
Everyone on his team knew Mel Fisher's faith-driven mantra by heart, "Today's the Day!" He would say over-and-over every day for 16 years.
His mantra continues to inspire people who back their dreams with "right now" faith no matter how grandiose by human standards.
Let's now take "right now" faith and apply it to business.
How big is your faith in your business or career "right now?" Are you expecting rain or more desert...
right now? Would you be willing to change your attitude and faith right now and follow Mel Fisher's famous mantra and say, "today is the day!" Today is the day that you are expecting God to do something extraordinary.
Today is the day you are expecting breakthrough.
Today is the day you are expecting that sale.
Today is the day you are expecting that contract.
Are you willing to say right now, this very moment I am getting out my container and expecting rain? When God said in His word that I AM the great I AM.
He did not say I AM the great I WAS or I AM the great WILL BE...
no He said I AM...
that is as in NOW! Right now! Again, are you ready? Are you willing to have real faith right now? Can you imagine how sad it might be if you had the most incredible business opportunity in front of you, the most perfect timing, but the WRONG attitude...
an attitude that kept you from having RIGHT-NOW FAITH...
an attitude that kept you from God's RIGHT-NOW FAVOR? Your challenge this week: Find your container (or get one), decide if it is big enough and if not...
find out how to enlarge it AND EXPECT RAIN! Repeat throughout the day and EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, "Today is the day!" I am expecting great things today! "Breakthroughs are being prepared for me right now!" "A Breakthrough is coming today!"
