That’s what the Scripture means when it says: “I have made you the father of many nations.” He is our example and father, for in God’s presence he believed that God can raise the dead and call into being things that don’t even exist yet. Against all odds, when it looked hopeless, Abraham believed the promise and expected God to fulfill it. He took God at his word, and as a result he became the father of many nations. God’s declaration over him came to pass: “Your descendants will be so many that they will be impossible to count!” In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarah were incapable of conceiving a child.

Life itself is composed of choices. The choices that we make can lead us down many different paths. In order to follow the path that God has set out before us, it is important for us to speak life over death. Speaking the word of God can change a situation, problem, even a life. In his latest plan, David Villa shares how we can speak life over death.
Do you ever feel like life is one big guilt trip? We learn to hide guilt well and keep moving forward, but it’s always there distracting us from the freedom and grace that God offers. This 5-day plan explores God’s plan for guilt and helps us unleash the control it has over our lives. No longer do we have to live crippled by feelings of guilt.
We all experience difficult seasons of trial. This plan will encourage you through whatever dark time you are facing, guiding you from feelings of inadequacy through hoping when all seems dark to rejoicing on the other side. Refocus your heart on God’s character, and be pointed to his power, wisdom, faithfulness, and love instead of your circumstances or failures. You’ll be redirected to lean on God’s strength, not your own.
