Taking a Leap of Faith

Taking a leap of faith is stepping out in obedience to God not knowing where you are going, but in simple obedience to His instructions.

Two Scriptures teach us how to take such leaps of faith.

[Hebrews 11:8‭-‬10¹ MSG] “By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God’s call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left he had no idea where he was going.’

“By an act of faith he lived in the country promised him, lived as a stranger camping in tents. Isaac and Jacob did the same, living under the same promise. Abraham did it by keeping his eye on an unseen city with real, eternal foundations—the City designed and built by God”

Leap of Faith

To take a leap of faith, you are going to need the following six things;

1. Hear from God
2. Obedience promptly
3. Focus on eternal things
4. Against hope believe in hope
5. Do not be weak in faith, waver, nor stagger at the promise
6. Be strong in faith, be fully persuaded that God is able and faithful to do what He has said He will do

[Romans 4:18‭-‬21² KJV] “Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.”

“And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:”

“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform”

We are stepping into the manifest glory of God, so learning to walk by faith will help you to see the glory of God. Jesus said in John 11:40³ that if only we can believe, we will see the glory of God.

Faith is principal to seeing the glory of God. You must believe if you want to see the glory of God.

Stay blessed; I love you!
