Faith and Action

Overflow is operating with faith in the supernatural. It makes what was impossible become possible. This is what happens when we have faith in God and walk in the supernatural.

If we do not have faith, we cannot please God. Our relationship with God is based on faith. When we became born-again, no one could prove our salvation by something they could give us. Even if they gave us a certificate that said we were saved, it means nothing. Our salvation is proven by the faith we have placed in the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive our sins and cleanse us of our unrighteousness. Just as we exercised faith to be born again, we continue to live for God by faith. It takes faith to have a day-to-day relationship with Jesus Christ. It takes faith to pray, witness, give, and minister. Everything about our relationship with God is based on faith. That’s why it’s impossible to please Him without it.

Don’t believe me that we can’t please God without faith? Just look at Hebrews 11:6. Our faith is the main ingredient to pleasing Him!

The entirety of Hebrews 11 is an amazing passage that discusses faith throughout God’s Word and what faith truly means. From Noah and Abraham’s faith to Moses and Jacob, it breaks down a number of biblical stories and how they demonstrated faith in the Lord.

And the good news is, we all have faith! Romans 12:3 discusses it. We each need to work to exercise this faith in God and trust in all that He is doing.

Almost every time Jesus rebuked His disciples, it was for a lack of faith. This is how God views faith. Lack of it draws a rebuke from Him. We have to live by faith, and it must always be growing. This is why the tests and trials come into our lives. This is the purpose of God allowing things to come at us that only He can fix. All this increases our faith. This allows God’s supernatural power to manifest in us in greater ways.

Many of the attacks you face have very little to do with the thing being attacked. They have very little to do with who you are. They have to do with who you are becoming. Therefore, Satan attacks you now, so he can attack your future. It is an assault against your faith, to keep you from your destiny. If we can allow our faith to be stirred and built, we can ward off the attacks and secure our future.
