FAITH, GOD, SIGNS AND WONDERS

HEBREWS 11:32-34

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, …Barak, …Samson, … Jephthae;…David …, ..Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith … stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

One of the blessings of faith is – it is a major way by which we partner with God. As we agree with God in faith, we experience the manifestations of His blessings, glory and power in our lives. We see a lot of this in the lives of the people of God in the Old Testament. God was more real to them than the things they saw and felt physically, and they took what God had said to them as their reality, no matter what was happening to them or around them. They moved, stood their ground and did all they did in faith; and as they lived this way, they continued experiencing the manifestation of the supernatural power of God, both in and through their lives. This is God’s will for our lives.

There are two interesting testimonies of faith in our text above – the testimonies of ‘stopping the mouth of lions’ and ‘quenching the violence of fire.’ These testimonies are probably about Daniel (Dan.6) Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Dan.3). From the way it is written, it sounds like things ‘they did by faith’, but did Daniel really stop the mouth of lions? Did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego stop the fire from harming them? No. Because of their faith in God, God did these things for them and it looked like it was them who did it. This is how by your faith in God, He does things through you that look like it is you doing them, but it is God, (Mark 16:20).
