Topic: Step Across the Faith Line
And being not weak in faith, [Abraham] considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. – Romans 4:19-20
In the years I’ve spent living by faith, there’s something I’ve learned to do that helps me receive from God in the toughest of situations. It’s stepping over the faith line.
A faith line is what you need when you want God to do the “impossible” in your life. It’s what you need when you want to be firm in your faith, yet you keep wavering back and forth between your circumstances and God’s promises—believing first, then the other.
It’s what can make you like faithful Abraham. Abraham had natural facts to deal with, just like we do. He knew no realistic way for God’s promise to him to come true.
Yet the Word says Abraham considered not his own body. In other words, Abraham ignored the natural evidence around him and believed only God’s promise.
Somewhere, he stepped across the line of faith.
He made an irreversible decision to go with the Word of God. He made a final commitment. He chose to step past the point of no return. And if you and I ever see God do the impossible in our lives, we will have to do the same thing!
How do you draw that faith line?
Begin with the Word. Search the promises of God and purposely believe what He has said and is speaking about your needs. Meditate on those promises until faith rises in your heart.
Then, draw the line of faith. Draw it in your mind and heart. Draw it across the floor in your prayer room. Say, “In the presence of God, in the presence of all the angels in this room, and in the devil’s face, I am stepping across the line of faith. From this moment on, I consider this matter done. From this day forward, I give God the praise and the glory in the Name of Jesus.”
From that moment on, speak only as if your miracle has already happened. Turn your back on the problems and doubts, and turn your face toward Jesus.
God will do the impossible in your life. Dare to step across the faith line!
