If you have failed to obey God the Lord will give you new opportunities to live by faith!

By faith Abraham obeyed when He was called to go out to the place which He would receive as an inheritance. And He went out, not knowing where He was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Therefore, from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. Hebrews 11:8-12 NKJV
 
God told Abraham to leave his father’s house and go to a land the Lord would show him. Abraham obeyed even though He did not know where God would lead him.
 
Abraham was raised among people who believed in many gods. God revealed Himself in such a way Abraham believed the Lord was different than the gods he grew up with. By faith Abraham believed the creator of all things spoke to Him.
 
It was the revelation of who God is that gave Abraham the faith to obey. Abraham believed the Great I Am was the only resource he needed. 
 
Has God revealed Himself to you? Do you believe God is the only resource you need?
 
The man of faith was not perfect. He failed to obey God on several occasions. The Lord used Abraham despite his failures. God used Abraham despite his mistakes.
 
God did not give up on Abraham when he failed to obey. The Lord gave Abraham other opportunities to live by faith. Abraham did obey God. He did live by faith!
 
You may have failed to obey God at times. You may have failed to step out in faith when the Lord called you. God can use you despite your failures. God can use you even though you have made mistakes.
 
Jesus will give you new opportunities to obey Him. He will give new opportunities to live by faith. Jesus will never give up on you. God longs for the day when He will say to you; “Well done My good and faithful servant enter into My rest!”
 
Look for opportunities to obey the Lord. Step out in faith when Jesus calls you!
 
Abraham’s faith made him a friend of God!
 
Faith in Jesus makes you a friend of God. Trust Jesus when His commands contradict your limited understanding. Trust Jesus when your strength fails. Follow Jesus even when you cannot see where He is leading!
 
Be a friend of God. Jesus will lead you to places only His friends can go!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
