“Faith that won’t Falter”


Many are in a season pervaded with faith testing and fiery trials. Faltering faith can plague even the strongest believer. Faltering faith is when the one who was once full of faith suddenly begins to waiver. When troubles arise, fear is a familiar comfort. As Christians, we must resist the temptation to allow circumstances beyond our control to shake our faith. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man drawback, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:38. If you shrink back at the first sign of trouble, you didn't’t have much faith to begin with. Trials are made to reveal what your faith is really made of. Some have been in an unfavorable season for so long; they do not realize they are on the brink of a breakthrough. Remain faithful while God is transitioning you from destitute to destiny, because today could be the day God visits your house with a miracle!

A great example of God’s ability to restore a seemingly dead situation is when Jesus raises Jarius’s daughter. Mark 5:35-43. Jesus is eager to respond where an unshakable amount of faith is present. Here are two powerful tools to help keep your faith strong against the odds:

Maintain a Positive. Mental. Attitude.: You pray, go to church, read the bible and things just don’t seem to be changing. One day you’re up, filled with faith and expectation, the next you’re contemplating your own demise. Sound familiar? Sometimes holding on to the faith that God will show up on your behalf is the hardest thing to do. When Jesus entered Jarius’s house, it was filled with mourning and unbelief. Friends and family believed that the young girl was dead. Even when your loved ones have lost hope, do not allow your faith to falter. When Jesus got to the girl, he declared that she was not dead, but sleeping. Regardless of how the girl appeared, Jesus immediately activated his faith by having a positive attitude. (even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17. When was the last time you rejected the appearance of a bad situation and made a faith declaration? Do not make the mistake of delaying your miracle by counting yourself out before God has completed His work. Be radical in speaking life to dead situations. Do not allow haters or even doubtful believers persuade you to falter in your faith. No matter the odds, speak your faith not your fear. After all, faith is the evidence of things not seen!

Position yourself for a miracle: The good news is: your faith determines your position." So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?” Gal.3:5 All you need is faith! "Jesus only allowed his faithful disciples to go with Him to witness the miracle. Your faith is the key to unlock God’s ability to work on your behalf. Jesus dismissed those who did not believe. But without faith it is impossible to please Him. Jarius sought the Lord for a miracle for his daughter and He was found! If Jesus showed up at your house today with an answered prayer, would you be found standing tall in faith or mourning with unbelief? But I prayed for you ______, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22:32 God’s love for us makes Him eager to perform miracles. Remain full of faith during the uncomfortable transitions of life. Always remember that God is liable to show up at any moment to resurrect your entire situation.

To be unshakable is to not be subject to doubt or uncertainty. On the tightrope of faith, you can never look anywhere but forward. Looking down, focusing on others or having shaky faith will inevitably cause you to fall. ”Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24

Pray this prayer with me:

Father God,

I believe in you, but I admit that lately I have been doubting your promises. It's been a while since I've seen or felt you really show up in my life. Forgive me for comparing your love for me based on how you've blessed others. I need you to re-ignite my faith. I am facing challenges on every side and every time I turn around I'm facing another obstacle. I know you are testing my faith and I want to pass this test! I am in need of a miracle. I am also praying for those in my life in need of a miracle. I do not want my doubt to cause me to miss the blessing. Please restore my faith, give me crazy faith that has the power to move mountains. Give me the type of faith that will not falter because I know it is impossible for you to fail. You promised to never leave me nor forsake me. In Jesus name, I believe it and receive it now! Amen.
