Status quo Christianity has kept me safe and secure within my comfort zone long enough. I want to reach beyond my limitations and feel God breathe something new in my spirit.
I believe He is calling me to a deeper level of faith.
I'm talking about faith that makes people feel uncomfortable. The kind of unworldly belief that prayer can raise the dead, give sight to the blind, and cause the lame to walk.
Jesus said "if anyone believes in me , he will himself be able to do the things I do; and he will do even greater works then these ,because I go to the Father."(John 14: 12).
I know it sounds crazy, but if we are willing to accept some of the promises in the bible why not reach out and tackle the things that challenge our view of normal. Unbelief is anchored in what is visible and reasonable apart from God. It honors the natural realm as superior to the invisible......unbelief is faith in the inferior. God promises us that He will do exceedingly and abundantly above and beyond all we dare to hope, ask, think or imagine according to His great power that is at work in us. (Eph. 3:20)
It is God's power, but it is done through us. If we can grasp the magnitude of this promise we should be daring in our faith and prayers. I have come to realize that Kingdom living and the amazing manifestations of God's power should be part of everyday Christian life. Faith is not the absence of doubt; its the presence of belief.
I refuse to settle for ordinary. I want to stretch my faith into new realms beyond my "highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams."
