CRAZY FAITH
The Bible is replete with stories of those who had great faith and did amazing things, but this story about Enoch is crazy faith on another level! Enoch’s faith in God was so intense that while he was walking with God one day, he disappeared from this earth and landed in eternity with God forever! Hello?! Talk about crazy faith!
Heb 11:5 It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.
It is interesting that the Bible carefully notes that he was a person who pleased God. The very next verse says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please God for those who come to him must believe that he is and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Heb 11:6
The sky is not the limit when it comes to what God can do! The only hindering factor to what God can do is someone not believing him.

Because he believed God, Enoch was able to experience something that was far beyond his wildest dreams. If only we would recognize the reality of God longing to give us more and better than what we can ask or even think!
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
When it comes to the beautiful and wonderful things that God can do, I pray that you and I would understand that the sky is not the limit! God has pre-ordained you for a faith journey where the possibilities are endless! Are you ready to go into uncharted territory? As you can see from this Encouraging Note, greater levels of faith can be tapped into! When it comes to faith, I pray that you are stirred to the core of your being to launch out into the deep with God! I am praying that you, like Enoch, will have…
