STEEMCHURCH | ALTHOUGH THE HORIZON IS CLOUDY, I WILL CONTINUE TO BELIEVE

It is very easy to believe when everything is going well. It is easy to believe when the wind is in favor of the captain sailing the ship. It is easy to believe that rain comes when the sky is cloudy. It is easy to believe that God will provide when our accounts in banks are healthy. It is easy to believe when the forecasts are in our favor. But when things change course, and the wind turns against, it's hard to believe !. When we need rain and we see a radiant sun, it's hard to believe !. when a threat with the economy arises, it is hard to believe !. When the forecasts are against, it's hard to believe!.

If you have lived or are living a similar case, I want to tell you not to be discouraged. The example of Abraham, has much to contribute, He believed in God when everything was against him, put his trust in God and believed against hope, for which he was called a friend of God.

Romans 4

18 He believed in hope against hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what he had been told: So shall your seed be.
19 And he did not weaken in faith by considering his body, which was already as dead (being nearly a hundred years old), or the barrenness of Sarah's womb.
20 Neither did he doubt, because of unbelief, of the promise of God, but that he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
21 fully convinced that he was also powerful to do all that he had promised.

God had promised Abraham that he would give him a great offspring, but his wife and He were already out of time to procreate, then how would this be possible? Only through a miracle could this promise come true, if a miracle . But before a miracle occurs in someone's life, faith and trust are indispensable in which all can.

This trust should not be conditioned or limited to natural forecasts, but based on unlimited sky accounts. Just as some cryptocurrencies are backed by an element of value, so our faith is backed by the faithful promises of the Lord.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE WHAT GOD HAS TOLD YOU, YOUR FAITH DOES NOT WEAKEN.

Considerations and logic are good for certain calculations in life, but when God demands faith, we should not base it on human logic because it brings problems. Abraham did not consider his inability to reproduce, nor Sara's barrenness, did not allow his faith to weaken. The human eye asks for evidence but faith creates powerful evidence. Abraham believed and manifested a great offspring.

DOUBTS ARE OBSTACLES THAT PREVENT REACHING PROMISES.

Abraham did not doubt because he believed that God is powerful to raise children even from stones. What God promised you will give it to you, but are you believing? Do you talk about your problems? Or do you talk to your problems? You can change the circumstances just by believing and obeying God.

A LONG LIST SHOWS THE BOOK OF THE HEBREWS, WHO ARE POPULARLY CALLED AS THE HEROES OF FAITH.

Hebrews 11

32 And what else do I say? Because time would be lacking telling me about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, as well as Samuel and the prophets;
33 who by faith conquered kingdoms, did justice, obtained promises, covered the mouths of lions,
34 they put out mighty fires, avoided the edge of the sword, drew strength from weakness, became strong in battles, put to flight foreign armies.
35 The women received their dead by resurrection, but others were tormented, not accepting the ransom, in order to obtain a better resurrection.
36 Others experienced vituperation and scourging, and more prisons and jails.
37 They were stoned, sawed, put to the test, killed with the edge of the sword; they went from here to there covered with skins of sheep and goats, poor, anguished, mistreated;
38 of which the world was not worthy; wandering through the deserts, through the mountains, through the caves and through the caverns of the earth.

All these heroes are there, to remember that although the winds are contrary, even if the horizon looks cloudy, even if the economy is hit, we must strengthen ourselves in the faith giving glory to God that all will be well.

WE ARE NOT FROM WHAT WE SEE AND BELIEVE, BUT FROM THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND SEE.
