Hazy Faith
- Hazy Faith: Sometimes, you can’t see exactly what God is doing but you’re still going to follow Him in the hazy cloud
- 1 Corinthians 13:12: Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
- This verse shows how to walk in hazy faith
- God does some of His best work in the dark
- EX.) Moses, out of all the children of Israel, had enough hazy faith to approach the thick black cloud of darkness where God was. It was there that Moses was closest to God and received the ten commandants.
- If you need to see everything in order to walk – that ain’t faith, but the opposite of faith, certainty.
- 1 Corinthians 13:12: Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Hazy Faith Takes:
Crazy Prayers!
- When you pray crazy prayers – God will show up. You just have to learn to be oblivious to the obvious.
- 2 Corinthians 4:17-18: For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
- When you learn to not keep your eyes on your afflictions, your affliction works for you. When you learn how to not keep your eyes on adversity, your adversity actually advances you, and God can use your pain to produce your promise.
- Prayer changes things – not just for you but for the people around you. Sometimes, God allows you to go to prison, not to put you in prison, but so that your praise can bust somebody else out.
- Stop being selfish with your prayers.
- 2 Corinthians 4:17-18: For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Crazy Purpose!
- God created you on purpose, for a purpose, so you have to understand your identity.
- Sometimes, you have the authority that you don’t even know about because you don’t know who you are, and God puts you in position of authority.
- Stop asking to stay in line when God calls you out! You have to know who you are, and whose you are.
- Don’t allow your gift to dictate your calling, allow your prayer to help you find your purpose.
- Giftings are cultivated through practice, and callings are cultivated through prayer.
- We don’t need more practice, we need more prayer, because if you’re not careful, and don’t understand the difference between your gifting and your calling, you will prostitute your calling to the person who honors your gift.
- When you’re jealous of someone else’s gift, you are not mad at them, you’re mad at God.
- When you know whose you are, not even the rewards of the world will deter who you are, and what you are called to do.
Crazy Perseverance!
- It is perseverance that will walk you into your promise, and at some point, you have to learn to trust in the middle of pain.
- It’s not about your comfort but your calling.
