Faith isn’t simply believing that God has power. Faith establishes a connection with what God has already made available.
For us, one of the clearest examples of this came through Julie’s healing. God told Aaron that if he took Julie to the place He showed him, He would heal her of something major. We had to respond to what God said. We traveled to another country, went to a church we had never attended, and God did exactly what He said He would do.
Julie was instantaneously healed.
The connection wasn’t created by striving to make something happen. It was established when we heard what God said, believed Him, and acted accordingly.
THIS TEACHING is a good opportunity to look back over your own life. Think of one time when obedience became the connection between something God said and something you experienced. If you have one, share that testimony with the Impact family. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. Sometimes remembering the times we already followed God helps strengthen us for the next time He says, “Trust Me and move.”
