Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God
By grace God gives you His supernatural faith, as a gift. Having faith to be born again, to believe in something you can’t see, to believe that a Man that you never knew died on a Cross for you and took every sin and sickness into His own body, and then He was raised to life again after being dead for three whole days. That takes the God-kind of faith, and this verse tells us that kind of faith is His gift to us.
Romans 12:3 Tells us that every born-again believer has been given “the measure of faith” Not just any measure, but the measure. We all get the same faith when we believe.
Faith is not a balloon we pop to use in emergency situations. Faith is a way of living every day life as sons and daughters of God. Everything God does for us is accessed through faith. Faith is what brings the things God has provided for us from the spiritual realm into the physical realm
Heb. 11: “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]”.
One day as Jesus was standing by the sea of Galilee the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He noticed two boats tied up left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. Luke 5:1-11
It takes faith, obedience and trust to push out to the deep. The first thing Jesus asked Simon was to go out a little from the shore. He had the need of the boat to teach the people from. Then Jesus asks Simon, “Push out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch”. A carpenter turned teacher was asking him to go into the deep water. Simon had just fished all night and it was not a successful fishing trip. Simon said, “I will because you have said so”.
The Scripture tells us when they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
Let us get out of the shallow water and push out to the deep. Shallow water does not take much faith after all it is ankle knee and still water. It is a place of comfort. We see what is beneath our feet and what is ahead of us.
Psalms 107:23-24 Some went out on the sea in ships; Who do business on great waters, They see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.
You want to see the wonders of God – go to the deep waters. Faith-Trust-Obedience opens the door to the wonderful promise of God!
The love of God is extended to you everyday. The Lord’s grace is equal to anything you might face today. Walk in faith and be blessed. You are highly favored in God’s eyes. Afterall, He sent his son to die for you even while you were yet a sinner. His love knows no limits and His blood cleanses from all sin. With God on your side what can stand against you?
