loveWorld Christian Network Rhapsody of Realities January 2009 Wednesday, 7th Faith Doesn't Ask "How?" But people whose faith makes them acceptable to God will never ask, "Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?" Neither will they ask, "Who will go down into the world of the dead to raise him to life? (Romans 10:6-7 CEV) When it comes to walking by faith, you must learn to trust in the Word of God and believe in its integrity, for the Word never fails. This is the reason you should never question the veracity of God's Word or doubt its integrity. Some folks, upon receiving counsel, instruction or admonition from the Word of God are fond of asking how the Word they've heard will come to pass. That's not faith, for faith doesn't ask "how?" Rather, faith acts on the Word. Don't ask how the miracle you're expecting will happen. Leave the 'how' to God. Stop trying to figure out how your faith will work and produce the money you need. Don't ask God how the miracle baby you're expecting will come! Don't ask Him how the healing will take place. Your responsibility is to keep living the Word; be a Word practitioner. The challenge you're facing may seem overwhelming, but the Bible lets us know that through faith you've already overcome. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all you can ever ask or think or imagine. He is too big to be asked the question "how?" Therefore when He tells you anything just believe. That's all it takes. Jesus said, "if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). When God asked Abraham to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, he promptly obeyed. He didn't ask, "O God, how am I going to become the father of many nations if I offer my only son as a sacrifice?" he left that to the Lord. That's faith; it doesn't ask God 'how?' Rather, it accepts, believes and endorses God's Word as absolute truth. Confession The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth; that's the word of faith by which I live. It is the Word by which I reign and rule in the realms of life. I refuse to stagger at the Word of God by asking 'how will my miracle come?' Rather, I daily experience miracles in my life because I believe and live by every Word that comes to me from God.
