Faith: A Sure Path to Pleasing the LORD

Faith
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NLT)
Faith is like a glue that brings together the pieces of man’s broken self after the fall. It’s a pathway into all of God! No Christian life is possible without the foundation of faith carefully laid [Ephesians 2:8].
Just like every person tends to travel passionately with those who cherish and believe in them, all of God is only available and handy to those who trust Him and take time to develop their relationship with Him. Without relational faith, everything we do will never proceed from the heart! Faith that proceeds out of a relationship is powerful.
I was in one of our Gospel outreaches in a particular state in India. I had finished personally praying for hundreds of people, and I was physically exhausted. As I was about to sit in the car, a woman came with her daughter for prayer. She was not able to make it to the service in time because of some issues at home. The woman showed my team members the medical reports of her daughter. Apparently, nothing showed on those reports, but the little girl had a persistent shooting pain in her abdomen for months.
To be honest, I did not feel an ounce of faith to pray for that lady’s little daughter because of my physical exhaustion. And yet, I felt the LORD telling me in my spirit, “Son, don’t depend on how you feel at this moment but rather trust and draw upon your relationship with Me.”
So I closed my eyes and prayed a simple prayer, “Father, please help this little girl. She needs your touch. In Jesus’ name.” She fell flat under the anointing. Frankly, I was not expecting it. She got up, and with tears streaming down her face, she told her mother that she felt a sensation like electricity surge through her body.
The following month, when I was there in that place, both mother and daughter testified on stage how the Lord had been gracious to them. Her little daughter was totally healed of her condition. The shooting pain that she had in her abdomen for months had left her and did not come back.
I encourage you to develop your relationship with the LORD. As you do this, you will soon find yourself stepping out more in faith than you previously did. Why? Now you know the One in whom you have believed. (Read 2 Timothy 1:12) You have a personal relationship with Him. There will be no struggle.

Lord, swallow up my unbelief with the revelation of who you are. In Jesus’ name.
