Satan is the author of
bringing doubts to your dream, vision and plans that God has designed for your
life. Without Faith, it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6) Israel
went out with the greatest jailbreak in history!
With God’s mighty hand, He delivered them out of bondage from Egypt. God used
ten plagues on Pharaoh and Egypt to make His point. God turned the water into
blood, brought frogs, pestilence, boils, hail, locust, darkness and death to
the First-Born Egyptian.
If that wasn’t enough, God led
them out with silver, gold and many riches in their hands from the Egyptians.
He then led them in their escape in the path of the Red Sea. With pressure on
their heels from Pharaoh’s army, God split the Red Sea before their eyes and
Israel walked across on dry ground.
How could anybody doubt after seeing such glorious
miracles with their own eyes? How could anybody think that God’s hand was insufficient,
inadequate or lacking from what everyone would need to get where they needed to
go?
But many of the two
million plus chose to say, “The only reason God brought us out here in the
desert was because there weren't enough
graves in Egypt.” The audacity for them to make such a statement shows just how
wicked their heart was before God. No wonder God says, “For whatsoever is not
of faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23)
Somewhere you have to get your
eyes off the enemy and place them upon
the Name of the Lord. Proverbs 18:10 says, “The
name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” When you place your
confidence in the name of the Lord your God, there is joy, peace, courage, boldness and faith to stay in the fight.
Anybody can give up, but it takes faith and confidence to keep singing,
swinging, standing, praying, believing, and shouting that the God you serve will never leave you nor abandon you.
Tell me who has ever won a
battle yet that didn’t use their faith. Let me ask you to name even one
of the ten spies who returned to Moses with an evil report who said; “We can't go up against them! They
are stronger than we are!" I can’t name one of them from memory,
but I can name two men who chose to use their faith. Just how
will you be remembered? Will anybody remember what you did in the fight
of faith? Doubters and cowards will not only be forgotten but will also be judged! It’s only men and women of faith
who will go down in the halls of history and be given a great reward in heaven.
Now tell me who were Joshua and
Caleb? You know those names because they won out over their devilish doubts. Choose
today to step it up and win over the enemy of your soul. God is for you and you can declare with boldness like
Paul, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good
work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. He
also declared I have fought a good fight,
finished my course and kept the faith. “For we walk not by sight but by faith.”
Choose to be a WINNER today with your faith over every devilish doubt!
