FAITH  OPEN TO ANYONE                                       Hebrews 11:8-11

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Hebrews 12:2

God wants you to believe Him. Make a decision and stand on it. Rahab decided to take a stand on the side of God’s people. She hid the spies. She made the decision based on her faith. She took action. Faith is a fact and faith is an action. She took action because she believed God would deliver her when Jericho fell to the Israelites.

Sarah received strength to carry and deliver a child when she was well past childbearing age. She took action because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Read Hebrews 11:11.

She went through the birth process and delivered a child not because of her circumstance, but because of her faith. She believed God.

God wants your faith to be developed. Regardless of your position and your past, God raises people up equally. Faith is an equal opportunity business. No matter how many mistakes you have made, it is still faith that God honors. You see, you may have blown it, but God is in the business of restoring broken lives. You may have been like Rahab, but if you can believe God, He will save your house. You know, He didn’t save only her. He saved her entire household. All the other homes in Jericho were destroyed. The only house God saved in the city was the house where the prostitute lived.

You would have thought He would have saved some nice little lady’s house. Perhaps He would have saved some cottage housing an old woman, or a little widow’s house, with petunias growing on the sidewalk. No, God saved the whore’s house. Was it because He wanted it? No, He wanted the faith. That is what moves God.

PRAYER LINE: Thank You Lord, that we can trust Your faithful presence even when we feel alone. Help us to wait patiently for You to manifest Your steadfast loving presence
