Once in a while, we all face impossible situations which we have to confront and deal with.
[John 11:38-44 KJV] “Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. [39] Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. [40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?”
[41] “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. [43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. [44] And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.”
There are times when the people around us do not have the same faith as we do and we will still need to face the challenges. The simple steps to face those challenges are:
- Move to the epicentre with full assurance of God’s faithfulness and ability to restore all things.
- Remove every doubt, seal, or stones of obstruction that sets a ceiling to the bounce back.
- Thank God for His continual faithfulness and speak your faith, hope, and aspirations to the situation.
- Speak the life and the breath of God into the situation, and loose to function.
Move to the epicentre of the situation in full assurance of God’s faithfulness and ability to make things work. Ezekiel went to the valley of dry bones. He did not stay home, he stepped out. The prophet, just like our Lord Jesus Christ, stepped out to bring down the power of God.
Remove every doubt, seal, or stones that are setting a ceiling on how far you can reach. You must bind and loose what must be loosed. If it is a failing business, you must be able to remove all obstacles, chains, or impediments that fight the progress of the business. If it is is a struggling marriage, you must deal with the things that must be dealt with. You must remove the stones and clothes.
Thank and adore God for His faithfulness. Jesus thanked God that He hears Him always and will hear Him again. When the Lord wanted to feed five thousand with five loaves, He thanked God. You have to speak to the Lord and then speak to the situation. The Lord Jesus spoke to the Father and then spoke to the situation. He spoke to Lazarus as though the dead man could hear Him. Speak to the situation and speak faith.
Finally, speak the life of God into the situation and cause it to be stirred up. Command the breath of God to enter into the situation and see the change. Most often than not, we destroy what we are building with prayer by our actions. It is important to pray, but more importantly, you must believe and act right. I believe that you will arise and take action and never fail.
Stay blessed, I love you!
