Noah, not having seen rain before, believed God\u2019s warning about a coming flood and began to build an ark. He didn\u2019t know what rain looked like, yet he obeyed and never stopped building. That\u2019s the God-kind of faith. Likewise, when Jesus observed the poor widow who cast in two mites\u2014all she had\u2014into the offering, He commended her because she gave in faith, trusting God as her provider. These are expressions of the faith that comes from God. Romans 12:3 tells us that everyone who is born again has received this measure of faith. You already have it \u2014 it\u2019s your responsibility to grow and use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Fear is nothing more than faith in the devil\u2019s ability.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are believers who believe more in the devil\u2019s power to hinder than in God\u2019s power to help. That\u2019s why God said in Psalm 23:5, \u201cThou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.\u201d If you focus more on the enemies than the One who set the table, fear will rob you of your blessing. The God-kind of faith is what makes you sit confidently at that table, knowing that no enemy can touch you while God is with you. It is trusting God in spite of what surrounds you\u2014eating your portion in peace while your enemies look on helplessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This God-kind of faith operates in two dimensions: sometimes you believe without any physical evidence, like Abraham believing for a child when he had none; and other times, you must believe against physical evidence\u2014like believing for healing when symptoms persist. Abraham believed God&#8217;s promise in the face of the deadness of Sarah\u2019s womb and his own old age. Likewise, you must believe against the contradictions you see or feel in your body, your finances, or your environment. This is how faith triumphs\u2014when it holds on to God&#8217;s Word regardless of what is seen, felt, or heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Are you holding on to God\u2019s Word even when physical evidence suggests otherwise? Do you believe more in God&#8217;s ability to help you than in the enemy&#8217;s power to hinder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Father, thank You again for the God-kind of faith.
