Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We are looking into God’s word which is sharper than any two-edged sword, it is alive, so exciting to be studying His word and applying it daily in our lives. We’ve been studying about how we can receive by faith the things that have been already freely provided for us. These have been freely provided for us, the price has been paid and it has been, made available for u. Then, what is the issue? The thing is we need to have faith in order to receive this into our lives and that is the way the Lord has designed it. These are provisions of grace which means that we don’t have to earn it/ work towards it but these are things that have already been provided for us, in Christ Jesus. We look at the life of Abraham, the kind of faith that he had which is an example for us and it is literally an instruction manual in faith for us to consider and walk in. If we look at the faith of Abraham, we are looking into Hebrews chapter 11, which talks about the kind of faith that he had, it says, Abraham acted out or he acted in line with what he believed/ faith. We are going to look at several verses here, verse 8 says, ‘By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.’ So, he obeyed and went out. He received the promise, instruction and he obeyed. We see him acting out in faith. Verse 9 says, ‘By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country.’ Here also, we see something that he acted in line with his faith. Verse 10 says, ‘for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.’ Again, an act of faith. Verse 11 says, ‘By faith Sarah herself also received strength,’ Again an act of faith both for him and Sarah his wife because it says she judged him faithful who had promised. Verse 17 says, ‘By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac.’ Here is another season in Abraham’s life, he has received the promised son, Isaac and by faith, he offered up Isaac. Again, he believed that God would do what He had promised he would do. He offered up, for whom he had waited 25 years knowing that in faith, God would do something, he trusted God. We see that Abraham acted on his faith. Faith was not something which was theoretical for Abraham, dormant in his heart but this was something that he acted out, something that was practical. So, also for us in our lives, has God promised something, instructed something to do by faith? Here is an opportunity and a reminder for us to step out and do just as Abraham did. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you for the faith of Abraham. We thank you for the instruction and the example that we have to consider and to walk in. Even as we believe in you and your word/ promises, we pray and ask that we would step out and act in line with our belief. Today, enable us to have the courage to act in line with what we believe and what you have promised and in doing so, may we extend our faith and see the fulfillment of what you have promised, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
