You need faith to walk in the promises that God has for you.
1. Faith is the foundation for receiving God's promises:
Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
Faith is not just intellectual agreement; it's a deep trust and confidence in God’s character and His Word. To walk in God’s promises, you must first believe in who He is—His power, love, and sovereignty—and that He rewards those who seek Him. Without this foundational faith, it's impossible to please God or walk into the fullness of His promises. This belief motivates you to keep going, even when circumstances look contrary to what God has spoken. Faith opens the door to the supernatural, making room for God’s promises to manifest in your life.
2. Faith requires trust in God’s timing and process:
Hebrews 10:36 tells us, "For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what is promised."
God's promises don’t always come to pass instantly. There’s often a process that involves waiting, preparation, and growth. Faith helps you trust in God’s timing, knowing that His plans are perfect even when they don’t align with your schedule. During this time, endurance—rooted in faith—is necessary to continue obeying and walking in God’s will. It’s easy to become discouraged or try to take matters into your own hands, but faith helps you stand firm, believing that God will fulfill His promises in His time and way. The story of Abraham, who waited many years for the fulfillment of God’s promise of a son, exemplifies this principle.
3. Faith is active and produces obedience:
James 2:17 says, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
Genuine faith is not passive. It prompts you to take action based on what God has said. This might involve stepping out in obedience to God’s instructions, even when you don’t fully understand how it will lead to the fulfillment of His promises. Faith without corresponding action is empty. For instance, when Peter saw Jesus walking on water and Jesus invited him to come, Peter had to step out of the boat in faith before experiencing the miracle (Matthew 14:29). In the same way, faith moves you to act—whether it’s through prayer, acts of love, or obedience to specific instructions from God—positioning you to walk in His promises.
