This was the only way that Abraham could please God and come to be a participant in His divine nature. This life of faith opened the doors for him and showed him the path that would lead him to success. Faith gave him the strength to overcome all the obstacles that he found in his life. Faith became the bridge that helped him to cross the abyss of separation that was between the possible and the impossible.
FAITH REJUVENATES
Through faith, Abraham and Sara could drink from the spring of life that rejuvenated them and made them vigorous, so much that a king wanted to take Sara as a wife, who was over seventy five years old.
If Sara existed in our days, she would be one of the women most requested to share the formula of the eternal youth.
VISION OF THE CELESTIAL CITY
Also he could fly wrapped in the wings of the Spirit. He crossed the celestial city, whose architect and builder is the same God. With this revelation he was able to keep his eyes on the promise.
HIS OFFSPRING
By that same faith, Abraham also left a blessing for his offspring. Since Christ is the seed of Abraham, if we are in Christ, we are certainly part of the lineage of Abraham and heirs of the promise.
SAW HIS DESCENDANTS
The promises that God gave Abraham are also for us, and only by faith in His Word can we fulfill each one of our promises also given to our patriarch. In the same way, Abraham successfully imprinted on his mind the clear images of his descendants. With the same faith, we can also give life to those pictures that we have successfully imprinted in our hearts. Whatever a person successfully paints with the pencil of faith here on earth, will be accepted by God in heaven because aside from our physical eyes, God has also given us spiritual eyes. If we succeed in developing our spiritual vision, we will be able to see clearly that the greatest miracles are done by God Himself. As the Apostle Paul said, “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Once we succeed in determining, with clarity, the miracle that we need to conquer, seeing it clearly in our hearts, we only have to speak the word with authority, so that it will be reproduced in the natural exactly as we have visualized it to be. Everything that we succeed in visualizing in the spiritual world will become a great reality in the natural world. The spiritual always comes before the natural.
DEPENDING TOTALLY ON GOD
If you let faith grow in your heart, you will be surprised at the things that you will be able to believe and conquer. The word of faith houses so much power that the things that seem impossible are reached and conquered through it. If it is so important, why aren’t more people concerned with having it? The life of faith demands absolute dependence on God an many people struggle with this because they want to receive honor for their successes. But in the world of faith, the glory for the greatest deeds falls exclusively on God. We only come to be participants of the divine nature when we throw ourselves into walking down the path of faith. Whoever does not walk by faith cannot please God. |
