Fix your eyes on Lord Jesus
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) Faith enables you to keep moving when circumstances tell you to stop. Faith looks beyond […]
Walk Forward With Confidence
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 8:26) Fear can make a difficult situation appear greater than it is. It can cause us to focus so intensely on the storm that we forget the presence of the Lord. The disciples were overwhelmed by the waves, but Lord […]
If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed!
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Faith is dead without action
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (James 2:26) Faith is not merely an idea we agree with in our minds; it is a conviction that influences the way we speak, decide, and act. The Bible teaches that faith without works is dead. This means that […]
Your Obstacles don’t have the Final Word
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. (Matthew 14:22) Our main verse shows a direction Lord Jesus gave to the disciples. Lord Jesus sent His disciples ahead, and while they were on the sea, the wind […]

Your confidence must be on God alone!
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. (2 Kings 2:14) After Elijah was taken up, Elisha stood before the Jordan with […]
Elijah’s Testimony of Faith
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. (2 Kings 2:8) The Mantle of Elijah carried a testimony of his faith. Elijah stood before the Jordan and struck the waters with his mantle. The […]
Step Forward in Faith
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and […]
Faith says “Yes” without a doubt!
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. (Exodus 14:21) When the children of Israel stood before the Red Sea, they faced an obstacle that human […]
