The Art of Having Extraordinary Faith
We live in a very tumultuous time. There is a lot confusion and doubt and it can be very easy to feel insecure in the inconsistencies in our world. But because our God is SO BIG, we can have a BIG FAITH that is absolutely confident that no matter our circumstances, God is in control and he’s leveraging bad things for good purposes. God wants to explode your faith into that kind of extraordinary faith, but like anything that you want to excel at, it requires discipline. Let's talk about those things that God uses to grow your faith into an extraordinary faith.

Not even death can stop God’s plan.
God prepares you for what He wants you to do.
When God gives a command He accompanies it with a promise.
God will give me the details I need to know.
God will fulfill His promise if I obey His instructions.
God will provide me with the details I need to know to accomplish His plan.
God will provide me with the details I need to know to accomplish His plan.
God will never walk away from me or His promise.
I can be confident because God is the God who keeps His promises.
I can be confident that I will succeed and the key to success is obeying all of God’s word.
The way to obey God’s word is to:
· Talk about it.
· Let what it says work into all of you.
· Do what it says.
· Talk about it.
· Let what it says work into all of you.
· Do what it says.
When I obey God’s word it leads me to prosperity and success.
I can be confident because God is present.
