Unshakeable Faith

Instead of being discouraged you have confidence. Because before I had a problem God already set the miracle in motion.
  • God is faithful even if it isn't happening on my time table.
  • God promised Abraham and Sarah a baby
Romans 4:20 NIV
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
  • Don't consider your circumstances, consider your God.
Romans 4:19 NIV
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead.



  • Even if you are believing for something that seems small, like a scholarship, know that God has you in the palm of his hands.
  • When you magnify God your problems become smaller.
  • It takes the same amount of time to be positive as it takes to be negative.


The disciples were on the way to heal a sick girl but a report came in that she had died. Sometimes you have to ignore the report.

Mark 5:36 NIV
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, "Don't be afraid; just believe."


  • It's good to have information but sometimes you can know too much. If you listen to the experts long enough they will talk you out of God's best.


Matthew 19:26 NIV
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

God's ways may not seem logical like with Mary or the Fisherman

Luke 1:38 NIV
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her.
  • Mary was promised to have a child before she knew a man. Mary did not question the promise.


John 21
  • Caught a miraculous number of fish on the advice of a "non-fisherman"

When you are prepared you do a better job. There are some ways to prepare to follow God.


Psalm 100:4 NIV
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.




  • enter his presence in faith and good spirits.



Ephesians 6:10-17 NIV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.




  • Put on the armor of God.




  • Read the Bible and see what God says about you.
