FAITH THAT CAN BE SEEN
Do you know that it is possible to see faith? In different places, the Bible speaks of faith that could be seen upon a person. Meaning, there was something observable upon a person that shouted: “I believe!”
Acts 14:8-10 In Lystra, there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed, and called out, “Stand up on your feet! ” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
Wow! The apostle Paul needed a breakthrough that day in Iconium. Because Paul was sharing the gospel, the Jews were trying to create trouble for him. While he was ministering, God intervened and, through Paul, released this mighty miracle.

He is the only one who can truly bring a true breakthrough in my life. Have I exalted the word of God to the highest place in my thoughts? Has my meditation brought about a change to the countenance of my face and the walk of my life? When someone genuinely believes God, they become a magnet for His blessing and favor! That is why the Scripture so emphatically declares, “And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
My Prayer: Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I fully surrender myself to the truth of your word today. I choose to let it sit on the throne of my thoughts and choose to let it dominate my meditation! By faith, I receive a life of intimacy and oneness with you today! Father, in the name of Jesus, may my life be a direct reflection of the truth of your word today. Amen!
I am praying for you today! I am declaring that you are someone whom both God and others can look at and see faith! The world is in desperate need of a touch from heaven! God has called you to be his ambassador! He has called you to be a part of releasing his incredible message of reconciliation to this world! Oh yes! You were born for such a time as this! As a servant of God, I declare over you today that you have…
