Living a Life of Extraordinary Faith
🙏 We need a generation of believers who have faith in God’s power and are willing to believe that He can do what He says He can do.
🙌 Our faith should be so strong and extraordinary that it amazes Jesus and causes Him to marvel.
🙌 “Stop limiting God to what you can think of because your God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything you could ever ask, hope or think.”
💪 “I want a faith that causes Jesus to Marvel… She believes that if I said it I’ll do it.”
🙌 A faith that believes in doing something unusual in our generation for Our Generation is a faith that amazes God.
😇 We were created to live a life of faith, not to live a small and safe life.
💀 The issue isn’t if we’re going to die, but rather if we’re actually going to live the life that Jesus put us on this Earth to live.
🌍 “I’m looking for a marvelous faith, an amazing faith in our generation, because where people marvel God, He does marvelous things.”
Prioritizing Public Image vs. Relationship with Jesus
💪 We often prioritize our public image over cultivating a deep relationship with Jesus, which limits the power we have from the Holy Ghost within us.
🤔 “But they believed God passion would we believe God can you imagine. But if you’re going to do that in 2019 you’re gonna have to be willing to look foolish.”
🙏 “Can you imagine how foolish Caleb looked at 85 when he said I’m not cashing in my 401k.”
The Significance of Faith in the Eyes of Jesus
