The Bible talks about those \u2018who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had.\u2019<\/i> How do you walk like that? <\/p>\n
(1) Abraham believed \u2018God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.\u2019<\/i> (Romans 4:17 NKJV) When God makes you a promise, He has the power to bring it to pass, even when all the evidence and surrounding circumstances run contrary to what He said. <\/p>\n
(2) \u2018Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed\u2026 [and] he became the father of many nations.\u2019<\/i> (Romans 4:18 NKJV) When all reason for hope was gone, Abraham still hoped. Why? Because his hope was in God! If you\u2019re feeling hopeless today, think about these words: \u2018Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.\u2019<\/i> (Zechariah 9:12 NKJV) <\/p>\n
(3) \u2018Who\u2026 believed\u2026 according to what was spoken, \u201cSo shall your descendants be.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (Romans 4:18 NKJV) Note the phrase \u2018according to what was spoken.\u2019<\/i> When God makes a promise, it contains the self-fulfilling power to bring it to pass. \u2018So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and\u2026 prosper in the thing for which I sent it.\u2019<\/i> (Isaiah 55:11 NKJV) <\/p>\n
(4) \u2018He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith.\u2019<\/i> (Romans 4:20 NKJV) The word \u2018waver\u2019<\/i> tells us Abraham didn\u2019t dither, vacillate, argue within himself, or let other people\u2019s opinions influence him. Instead, he remained resolute and steadfast. That\u2019s how you walk by faith!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
