Abraham
Believed In The God
Who
Brings The Dead Back To Life
And
Who Creates New Things Out Of Nothing
Scripture
Romans
4
17
… Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and
who creates new things out of nothing.
18 Even when
there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he
would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him,
“That’s how many descendants you will have!”
19 And
Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of
age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s
womb.
20 Abraham
never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew
stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.
21 He was
fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And
because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.
Observation
I
don't know about you but I have been praying and praying for a long,
long time for some people very close to me.
For
years and years now I have been praying for them and asking God to
change the direction of their lives.
And
until the day I die I will never stop praying for them.
I
am fully convinced that my God is able to do whatever He promises.
Even
though it seems like there is no reason for hope, I will keep hoping.
I will never give up praying for them!
Who
is on your impossible list?
Pray
and never give up!

Corinthians 10
3 We
are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 We
use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the
strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
Luke
18
1
One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should
always pray and never give up.

Timothy 2
1
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help
them; intercede on
their behalf, and give thanks for them.
Application
I
will continue to pray for those in my family who are not walking with
the Lord. I will never quit praying for them. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to never give up hope on those in my family who right
now are not walking in a close relationship with You. I don't
understand why they are not. But … I am going to continue to trust
in You to work in their hearts and to draw them to Yourself and to
turn them around, back in Your direction. Only You are capable of
changing their hearts. You have told me to never give up on them.
Show me just how powerful You are by changing their lives! I do
believe that nothing is too hard for You.
