“Is anyone up there?”

“I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe in me?”

“Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I can’t hang on much longer.”

“That’s all right. If you really believe you have nothing to worry about, I will save you. Just let go of the branch.”

A moment of pause, then: “Is anyone else up there?”

Are you committed to living by faith, or are you merely talking about faith? Faith is in us, but it must be released, and that is done by praying, saying, and taking action. Prayer carries our faith-filled requests before the throne of God and He answers. Pray boldly, for He is able to do more than we can imagine (Ephesians 3:20, Hebrews 4:16).

What is in your heart will come out of your mouth. Pay attention to what you are saying, and it will often help you discover how much faith you truly have. A man or woman of faith can still speak positively about a situation even when the circumstances have not changed. A person may have listened to hundreds of Bible teachings on faith, but I can tell whether or not they truly have faith just by listening to them for a little while. Words in agreement with God’s Word will release faith and allow it to go to work in the supernatural realm.

Taking action releases faith. When I sit at the computer and put my hands on the keys I am taking action. I am releasing my faith and God shows up. That would not work for someone who has no gift to write, but even though I do have a gift, I still must begin and in faith continue throughout the process.

When Peter got out of the boat, his action proved that he had faith in God’s Word when he heard Jesus say, “Come.” Is God asking you to do something and you’re waiting to feel safe? If so, that isn’t faith. In order to do or have greater things, we are usually required to let go of what we have and head into the unknown. God told Abraham to leave his country, his home, and his relatives and go to a land that God would show him after he started on his way. He had to leave, not knowing where he was going. That is faith!
