Have Faith In God For Abundant Miracles

1st Kings 17:3-7 KJV

Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4...And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5...So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6...And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and drank of the brook. 7...And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible because it shows us what happens when we have faith, unbelievable, unshakable, no doubt about it faith. Is it possible to have the faith of Elijah? Absolutely.

The irony is you don’t have to be a preacher or God’s right-hand man although in fairness to preachers and right-hand men of God, the degree of the impossible becomes ordinary to those who dare to take those steps necessary and have that kind of faith. Moses had a staff that turned into a snake to prove God’s POWER against the Egyptians. He used that same staff to open the Red Sea. David used a slingshot to defeat Goliath. God has always provided what was needed to defeat the enemy, to prove God’s faithfulness. 

The song say’s “Great is thy faithfulness, oh God my father, there is no shadow of turning with thee. All I have needed thou hand has provided, Great is thy faithfulness. What is the key? Obedience. God told Elijah to hide by the brook Cherith, you will have water to drink, and ravens were commanded by God to bring him a sandwich in the morning and evening. But the brook did dry up because of a natural event…there was no rain. That season was over.

God told him to go to Zarephath where a widow woman will provide what you need. The meal in the barrel never became empty and her cruse of oil never failed at the word of Elijah. Elijah “spoke” her miracle and God performed it. 

The son of the woman became sick and died; the woman’s anger was understandably great. Elijah took her son up to where he lived in her house, cried unto the Lord asking that the son’s soul come into him again. God heard Elijah and brought her son back to life. By faith in God and your relationship with Him, nothing is impossible. The greater the faith, the greater the miracle. Just have faith.

Matthew 17:14-21 KJV...The disciples encounter a man who says his son is a lunatic because an evil spirit has control of him. But the disciples were not successful in their effort to help. Jesus rebukes the spirit and the son is healed. The disciples want to know what they could not help him. Verse 20...And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Have faith in the impossible, believe in what the Bible and Jesus teaches. The greater the faith, the greater the miracle. Add prayer and fasting to your faith and nothing...NO THING will ever defeat you. 

Thank You Lord for your Word.
