Faith and Delight
“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.” Hebrews 11
Faith goes beyond believing that Yeshua died on the cross and then was resurrected just so we will spend eternity in Heaven. He gave it all to see “on earth as it is in heaven”. A complete restoration to the cosmos. Depending on where you are right now in your faith that can be hard to believe in but we know He is faithful to meet us where we are. Sometimes all you can do is come into agreement with what you are hearing concerning His truth. A simple amen ushers in grace to the slightest move towards faith.
Think about the many thousands of people who witnessed the miracles of Yeshua but there were only 120 in an upper room with faith waiting for ten days. Yeshua told them to wait a couple of days, and the promise would come. After a couple of days, they did not walk away from faith. They remained to honor and believed in what He said would happen. Everything regarding the Kingdom comes in seed form. What are you doing with the seed Abba has placed in your hand?
By faith, hold out your hand right now. Imagine the Holy Spirit placing a seed in your hand. He says, “here’s the seed to your breakthrough.” “Here’s the seed to see your whole family restored.” “Here’s the seed to see all of Mississippi go from dead last to first.” “Here’s the seed to see the next generation in Mississippi come alive for Yeshua.” “Here’s the seed for revival in Mississippi.” How will you honor the seed He just placed in your hand? He’s not asking you to do it all. He’s asking for you to move your heart in faith towards Him and believe. James 4 tells us when we draw near to Him, Abba will draw near to us. Are you willing to forsake all you’ve believed for one thing? Just Jesus.
We are created in His image. He gave us the same imagination He has. The One who spoke, and all was created except the garden- He planted seed. Our imagination is designed to see what Abba is ready to birth in us and around us. Imagination is us reimagining a nation. What you say matters. What you come into agreement with matters. In order for us to move in this mighty faith we must delight ourselves in Yeshua.
As you make this a lifestyle of delighting in Him and moving in faith, always be mindful of the seed He is placing in your hand. What seed did He place in your hand today? Will you honor the seed by placing it in the ground and tending it until you see the fruit of your faith in Him.
