Exceeding Faith Quotes
Chapter 25
#2401 If there are gaps in
your imagery for the future, pray in tongues. God will reveal more and more of
those pieces to you, and you can fill in that picture until it’s crystal clear
and sharp. As you do this, you’ll create momentum and direction that will move
your life down the path of His will, blessed in everything that you do. Mac
Hammond
#2402 A lot of people
think they are in faith when they pray, but nothing happens. Since we know the
sending end has already been taken care of, let’s look at some potential
problems on the receiving end.
#2403 First of all, if
fear is present, you may not get your healing. The presence of fear or anxiety
tells you your faith hasn’t matured yet because the force of fear is the
antithesis of the force of faith. You cannot have fear operating in the same heart
where there is faith. We may say, “I have a lot of faith, but I am a little
afraid.” Where fear has taken root, there is not enough faith to produce the
provision God intends.
#2404 We can deal with the
matter of fear by hearing more Word. If you are afraid, immerse yourself in the
Word. Find friends who will speak the Word like you believe. Put the Word in
your mouth. Read more Word. Listen to some CDs. Get in church an extra time a
week.
#2405 That may sound
extreme to you, but realize it took you plenty of years to get a belief system
that was wrong. It’s going to take effort to get a belief system that is right.
The enemy is a proficient enemy. He is proficient at finding those little
points where you might fear, which are usually different than what somebody
else fears. Whatever your point is that produces anxiety or fear, when you
sense it, shut the door on it. Get in the Word. Get in church. Get with those
friends you have who are going to reinforce that truth, because fear is the
first red flag in your life that you’re not where you want to be in your faith.
#2406 Don’t wait to see
until you believe. The second consideration I want to remind you of is in John
20:29. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (KJV)
#2407 Blessed means
empowered. He who believes and has not seen is empowered. If the only way
you’re really going to believe God heals is when you see it, then you’re not
where you need to be in faith. If the only way you can feel the joy of God’s
provision in your life is when you see it, you are not in faith. Faith wouldn’t
even be required if that was the case. Faith by definition believes when you
can’t see anything. It doesn’t matter why you haven’t seen the result you want,
even if you’ve been believing for a year or many years.
#2408 Is there a time
limit when you’re going to quit believing? If you don’t see your bank balance
get better within 12 months, are you going to stop tithing? Where does that
place come where you’re not going to believe anymore because you haven’t seen it?
Well, let me tell you what, you don’t have enough faith right now for God to
intervene in your life if there’s a time limit attached. Faith is so convinced
of the truth of God’s Word that it believes regardless of whether or not it’s
seen.
#2409 Are you where you
need to be in your faith? Fear is the first red flag. Seeing in order to
believe is the second red flag. The third for me would be to say, “It’s not the
Lord’s timing yet.” I’ve said that before. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet because
the Lord is going to demonstrate some things to people who need to see and know
about it. I’ve even had the thought, Lord, I’ve made some mistakes. Is this the
consequence of those mistakes that I have to see my way through for a season?
No. The will of the Lord is now. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you
are. A season of time often passes because of where we are at that point in our
lives, but it doesn’t have to. God wants you well now.
#2410 There are other
considerations about whether or not you’re in faith that I’m sure you can think
of. For now, I’ll close by reminding you of what we’ve learned throughout these
articles from the leper in Matthew chapter 8. First of all, worship needs to be
part of your life. This is where you gain your connection with God.
#2411 Secondly, genuine
worship is impossible without humility. We must get over what other people
might think in any regard. Lastly, you have to be ultimately, totally,
completely, and absolutely settled on the will of God. It is God’s will that
you be healed.
These are the
considerations the leper had in place before Jesus healed him. As you have
these considerations in place in your life, God will say to you as well, “I
will heal you. Be thou clean.”
#2412 God loves us. His
love is the power behind our faith. Galations 5:6. Gloria Copeland
#2413 Stop being afraid of
what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right.

He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing He

happening in your life right now, put what has happened behind you. Let it all
go and have faith that good things are coming your way.
#2416 Faith … it’s all
about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.
#2417 Everything will work
out in the end. You don’t need to know how. You just need to trust God and
believe that it will.
#2418 Your mind will
always believe everything you tell it. Feed it faith. Feed it truth. Feed it
with love.
#2419 Every day do
something that will lead you closer to God.

need not be afraid. He is there guiding me, watching over me, keeping me safe,
allowing me to do the very thing He called me to do.

#2433 God uses our trials
to build our faith, draw us closer to Him, and give us a testimony of His

always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
“I will try again tomorrow.”
