Faith Adventureنموونە

Backstory: The people of God were outnumbered and outgunned. Their army was losing men to fear on a grand scale. The King of Israel was floundering, and his nation was in danger of being overwhelmed by a pagan regime. Jonathan, the King's son, was having limited success on another front. The nation needed a hero who would stand up and say, “Enough!”

Before we begin, we remember that we do not wage war as the people in this historical story did. The scriptures teach us that our battle is in the realm of the spirit and our weapons of prayer, praise, and proclamation have divine power. Biblical stories like this are shadows of New Covenant spiritual realities, and we can find principles that help us to defeat our invisible enemy.

1: An Invitation to Adventure

One day Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, “Come on, let’s go over to where the Philistines have their outpost.” (v1)

Here they were, with all the unknowns of war, when Jonathan says something quite unreasonable. He was possibly pondering different ideas about how to survive, whether to engage or even run from the enemy, when his mind settles on an idea. That idea then became "something" when he said it out loud.

This year, we can unlock Holy Spirit adventures by letting our faith speak and accepting the invitation into a new Faith Adventure. When we voice our faith ideas, we begin to frame our future with new possibilities.

In simple terms, every faith adventure, every shift in circumstance, and every victory begins with someone, somewhere saying something. As your heart is inspired to believe, let your words reflect your faith, and begin today by saying something that sows seeds into the future.

“This is going to be a good year!”

“God is doing a new thing in me, and I am excited.”

It seems too simple but as you form the words around what you actually are believing for, you activate a frequency in the spirit realm that unlocks the supernatural. There is an invitation flowing down to us in the Spirit.

Let’s RSVP to the invitation.

Prayer: Lord, I am willing to go on a faith adventure this year.
