Introducing the Women Faith + Business Vlog. Each week I will be sharing a faith-based message that can be applied to life and business.
This week I share about the Power of EVEN Faith.
How many times have you found yourself saying even if this happened, even though I did that, or even now I don’t about the circumstances or opportunities that have shown up in your life? Those thoughts or words created doubt in your life, but what if you used even if, even though, and even now statements to activate your faith in God instead of questioning it.
Watch the video or read the post to discover 3 types of “Even” Faith that allow you to confidently EXPECT the goodness of God in ANY situation.
Quick Summary:
- EVEN IF you think things may not go the way you’re hoping, trust God is going to be with you and He will protect you.
- EVEN THOUGH it’s not in your time, trust God’s perfect timing.
- EVEN NOW when it seems impossible, know that nothing is impossible for God.
"Even If" Faith
The inspiration for EVEN IF Faith comes from the story of the 3 faithful Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
When faced with the circumstance of a new law set by King Nebuchadnezzar that everyone had to worship the golden image that he created, and whoever did not worship the image would be put to death by fiery furnace, the Hebrew boys had to make a DECISION to remain faithful to God and His ways.
They knew it was not right to worship any other gods or bow down to images, so they refused!
They had confidence that God would deliver them from the fiery furnace, but EVEN IF He didn’t they would not serve the god of King Nebuchadnezzar or worship the golden image.
Because of their decision they were cast in the fire, but the fire did not consume them and God was with them.
They had EVEN IF Faith! Even if it doesn’t turn out the way we are believing, we will be obedient to God and TRUST Him!
"Even Though" Faith
The inspiration for EVEN THOUGH Faith comes from the story of Abram and Sarai. God promised Abram that he would be the father of many descendants. Abram BELIEVED!
But after a longtime Sarai did not conceive, so Sarai took things into her own hands and convinced Abram to sleep with their servant Hagar. Abram agreed and they conceived a son, Ishmael.
However, Ishmael was not the son that God had promised. God had promised that Sarai would conceive and through Abram and Sarai would be the many descendants.
Sarai and Abram continued to wait on God, but questions whether in his and his wife’s old age they would be able to have a son, finally Sarai has Isaac in her 90’s! Even at this age God made it possible.
Abram and Sarai had EVEN THOUGH Faith and knew that God keeps His promises and NOTHING is impossible for God. So EVEN THOUGH they were older and waited so many years, and made mistakes, God kept His promise to them.
"Even Now" Faith
The inspiration for EVEN NOW Faith comes from the story of Lazarus. Lazarus was a friend of Jesus who was very sick. His sisters, Mary and Martha called for Jesus to help their brother because he was so sick.
Jesus took His time in going to Lazarus and Lazarus died. When Jesus finally made it there, Martha said, “If you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that EVEN NOW God will give you whatever you ask.”
Jesus replied and said, “Your brother will rise again!” Martha had to BELEIVE that Jesus could raise her brother from the dead EVEN NOW after he had been dead for several days!
Martha and Mary had to have EVEN NOW Faith!
