Faith takes time and is usually built up in stages. The experience of believing for and receiving God's promises in small things gives us the confidence in His word to believe the promises for bigger things. We build our faith through exercise in a way similar to how we build our physical muscles. If you are having trouble receiving a big miracle, perhaps you can find something a bit smaller to believe God for first. It’s OK to be honest with your own heart about where your belief level is at the moment. Often there is a level at which you are fully convinced God is well able (and will) do on your behalf. You will do well to start there as you focus in on His promises to persuade your heart to believe for greater things from Him. The effectiveness of your faith in the smaller thing will build confidence and strengthen your faith to more easily receive the bigger thing. Remember, it is through faith and patience that we receive the promises of God. |
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. — Hebrews 6:11-12 (NKJV) |
