Sarah believes and so did Abraham and then they conceive a child Isaac and the rest is history. Every Jew upon the earth is a living proof of this event that Christ came down to the earth to start this race through an old couple. Today I don’t know what situation you are in, maybe you are childless, maybe you need a job, maybe you need a life-partner, may be you are looking for a new beginning. Cry unto God and if the Holy Spirit tells you something, begin to believe. Confess that word over your life daily. Abraham believed and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Today we don’t have visitations from Jesus, but it is the Holy Spirit that impresses a Word upon our hearts. strongly. Sarah judged him faithful that promised. He who has promised is faithful and He will do it (1 Thes 5:24). | Even after this visit from Christ, Abraham and Sarah mess up again. Abraham tells white lies and calls Sarah, his sister and so Sarah is taken into Abimelech’s household, but God protects her. God plagues Abimelech’s household with diseases and also warns him in a dream and so she is released (Gen 20). They repent, God visits the couple and they bear a child, Isaac exactly as promised (Gen 21). | Sarah lives to see her son grow up. She lives a full life and dies at the age of 127. That is 37 years after this visitation. Isaac was 37 years old when she died. What a generous God. What a forgiving God. What a compassionate friend. Let’s trust him. | | 1.Faith is always in a Person, and throughout the Bible it is the Person of Christ. Remove Christ and it’s not faith. It is always Faith in God through Christ or because of Christ | 2. Faith fluctuates wildly, but its nothing to be alarmed, it is human nature. When you are low on faith, don’t pray grand prayers. Just resort to Thanksgiving for what you have, sing a few songs, pray for others etc and slowly the Holy Spirit will rebuild your faith. Also when you are low on faith, get prayed over by others. Many times you may not have faith for you own situations, but you will have faith for others. Pray for one another. | 3. Jesus talks about mustard seed faith, what exactly is this mustard seed. At certain points in time, the only thing that you are sure is of your Salvation, you don’t have faith for tomorrow, for healing, for your future no nothing. Then Tell the Lord, “Lord, I am saved, Thank you. Thank you Jesus for washing me in your Blood.” Slowly the Holy Spirit will rebuild your faith. It is the Holy Spirit’s responsibility to rebuild your faith in Jesus. | 4. Lastly faith comes through Bible reading. As Paul told the believers in Rome, Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God and words of Christ (Rom 10:17, KJV, NIV). What it means is, when you read the Bible, faith builds up. So if you are low on faith, read the scriptures, especially the Gospels, as you hear from Christ directly. Try reading an entire book (OT or NT), if you are low on faith. Or listen to an entire Gospel, it just takes 2 hours or so. | |
