WHEN NOTHING IS WORKING
KIM POTTER, DAYTON, TENNESSEE
I have prayed the prayer of faith and seen people healed instantly. I have fasted and witnessed tremendous breakthrough. I have laid hands on the sick and seen those who couldn't walk before walk again. I have confessed the Word of God over a situation and seen it change before my eyes. I have received communion and received a miracle healing for myself. These are all things I have seen happen in my life and walk with God.
That's all well and good, but what do you do when you go through a season where nothing that you did before is working now – when the prayer of faith seems to hit a brick wall? Or when fasting doesn't bring breakthrough? Or when you take communion day after day and see no change? What do you do in those times? Those can be very difficult and discouraging times.
There's a lyric from the song Way Maker by Sinach that comes to mind as I ponder this season: "Even when I can't see it, You're working." We see this truth throughout the Bible from beginning to end.
God was working in the life of His people before the flood, preparing those who sought His face for deliverance. He was working in the life of Abraham to produce the promised son, even when Abraham couldn't see it and tried to make it happen himself. He was working in the life of David when he was in the backside of the desert tending sheep. He prepared him to defeat Goliath and become an anointed leader.
He was working for the children of Israel while they were in Egypt, even though it appeared to continually get worse for God's people. God was working behind the scenes to make sure this enemy was defeated once and for all. Not only that, but God provided resources for His people so that they could exit the place of bondage with great wealth. Even when they couldn't see it, He was working for them. And the same truth applies to you. Even if you can't see it, He is working on your behalf.
So what do we do in the meantime? We walk by faith.
Hebrews 11 is filled with people who didn't realize God was working on their behalf – but He was. Their promise was fulfilled because they continued to have faith in God through it all. I love how the Amplified Bible relates Hebrews 11. It says that Abraham was "urged on" (see verse 8) and "prompted by faith" (see verse 9). Isn't that awesome? What is prompting you today? What is causing you to press forward? I can tell you what – faith in God and His Word!
In Hebrews 11:20 it says, "[With eyes of] faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau."
I love this! Many are praying and believing for their children to return to God or find their purpose in God. Are you, like Isaac, able to look FAR into the future and invoke the blessings of God upon your children today? This not only applies to our children, but to every aspect of our lives. We can look into the future with eyes of faith, trusting in God and His Word, and begin to declare blessings upon every area of our lives – upon our children, our marriages, our finances, our health, our businesses, and our homes. And we can invoke them upon ourselves too. Never forget that!
Have you wondered about what to do when nothing seems to be working? This is what you do. You look into the future; you call those things that be not exist as though they already are. You invoke the blessings of the promises of God, every day, until faith arises in you and you can again see the promises more than the circumstances. As you do, you will become like one of those written about in the book of Hebrews – a person of faith whose promise, without fail, was fulfilled.
