mind. So just because we don’t see it, doesn’t mean we won’t get it.
J ust because we can’t see it, doesn’t mean that He won’t do it.
There is a progression in the characters mentioned in this chapter of Hebrews. Abel worshiped God by faith. Enoch walked with God by faith. You can’t walk with God until you worship God. The first calling is to learn how to worship God. When you learn how to worship God, then you can develop a walk with God. Stop trying to get people to walk with God who won’t worship. If you don’t love Him enough to worship, you’ll never be able to walk with Him. If you can worship like Abel, then you can walk like Enoch.
Enoch walked, and by faith Noah worked with God. You can’t work with God until you walk with God. You can’t walk with God until you worship God. If you can worship like Abel, then you can walk like Enoch. And if you walk like Enoch, then you can work like Noah.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”
(Heb. 11:6). God will reward those who persevere in seeking Him. He may not come when you want Him to, but He will be right on time. If you will wait on the Lord, He will strengthen your heart. He will heal you and deliver you. He will lift you up and break those chains. God’s power will loose the bands from around your neck. He will give you the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (see Is. 61:3).
G od will reward those who persevere in seeking Him.
Abraham was a great man of faith. The writer of Hebrews mentions many areas of Abraham’s faith. Abraham looked for a city whose builder and maker was God (11:10). However, he is not listed in the faith “hall of fame” as the one who produced Isaac. If Abraham was famous for anything, it should have been for producing Isaac. However, he is not applauded for that.
“
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised
” (Heb. 11:11). When it comes to bringing forth the baby, the Scriptures do not refer to a man; they refer to a womb-man.
Sarah needed strength to conceive seed when she was past childbearing age. God met her need. She believed that He was capable of giving her a child regardless of what the circumstances looked like. From a natural perspective, it was impossible. The enemy certainly didn’t want it to happen. God, however, performed His promise.
Why would you allow your vision to be incapacitated for the lack of a man? Many women have unbelieving husbands at home. Have faith for yourself. Be a womb-man. It doesn’t matter whether someone else believes or not; you cling to the truth that He is doing a good work in you. Each of us needs our own walk with God. Stand back and thank God. Believe God and know that He is able to do it. Sarah didn’t stand on her husband’s faith; she stood on her own.
You are God’s woman. You are not called to sit by the window waiting on God to send you a husband. You had better have some faith yourself and believe God down in your own spirit. If you would believe God, He would perform His Word in your life. No matter the desire or the blessing that you seek, God has promised to give you the desires of your heart. (Ps. 37:4)
Recognize that where life has seemed irrational and out of control, He will turn it around. When trouble was breaking loose in my life, and I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, God intervened and broke every chain that held me back. He will do no less for you.
Abraham had many promises from God regarding his descendants. God told Abraham that his seed would be as the sands of the sea and the stars of Heaven (Gen. 22:17). There were two promises of seed given to Abraham. God said his seed would be as the sands of the earth. That promise represents the natural, physical nation of Israel.
