A Faith That Lives And Breathes

Have Raith In God

Yesterday’s message at church was filled with powerful truths, and I want to share what deeply blessed my heart: the call to live each day with faith to believe. Pastor Byron spoke from Isaiah 55:8-11, and other passages, but this passage especially stood out to me, stirring my spirit to trust God’s Word and His perfect plans:

“So is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

Faith is not a one-time decision; it’s a way of life, a heartbeat that echoes the Word of God in every step we take. It’s faith that saves us, faith that teaches us to follow Jesus even when the path is steep, and faith that empowers us to rise up and claim the promises God has given us.

Do you know how precious our faith is to God? He gave us faith so we could know Him, love Him, and walk with Him. Faith isn’t passive; it’s active, living, and breathing. It’s trusting that God’s Word over our lives will never return void. It will accomplish His desires, even when we can’t see it yet.

Faith is what carried the woman with the issue of blood through the crowd in desperation, believing that if she just touched Jesus’ robe, she would be healed (Mark 5:25-34). Faith is what strengthened Joshua and Caleb to stand against the giants in the land, confident not in themselves but in the God who promised victory. Faith is what kept the early church pressing forward through trials, proclaiming the Gospel with courage.

God is calling us today to live by faith:

Faith to be saved, knowing Jesus paid it all.

Faith to follow Jesus, even when it costs us comfort.

Faith to take the land, stepping into every promise He has spoken over our lives.

But faith must be voiced. Pastor Byron encouraged us to open our mouths and speak what God says in His word. Declare His Word boldly, because it’s His Word, not our circumstances, that defines our destiny.

Let faith rise today. Let it stir in our heart like a holy fire. Let it lead us to walk with Jesus, love Him with abandon, and believe for the impossible. His Word is alive in us, and it will accomplish everything He has spoken.

Father, thank You for the gift of faith. Help us to live by faith each day, to believe what You say over our lives, to follow Jesus with courage, and to take hold of every promise You’ve made. Let Your Word accomplish Your purposes in us, for Your glory alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
