He (Abraham) did not weaken in faith, when he considered the utter impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s deadened womb. No unbelief or distrust made him waiver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God. Romans 4:19-20

The Biblical definition of Faith is; believing God, and being obedient to God in spite of circumstances.

In the years that I have spent living by faith, there’s something that I have learned to do that allows me to receive from God no matter how tough the situation may be. I call it stepping over the faith line.

A faith line is what you need when you want God to do the “impossible” in your life. It’s what you need when you want to be firm in your faith and you keep wavering back and forth between your circumstances and God’s promises - believing first one, then the other.

It’s what can make you faithful like Abraham. The fact is Abraham had natural facts to deal with just like we do. He knew there was no natural way for God’s promise to him to come true.

Yet even when he considered the utter impotence of his own body and the natural evidence around him was overwhelming, he believed only God’s promise.

He stepped across the faith line.

He made an irreversible decision to go with the Word of God. He made a final commitment. He chose to step past the point of no return. And if you and I are ever going to see God do the impossible in our lives, we’re going to have to do the same thing!

How do you draw that faith line?
Begin with the Word of God. Search the promises of God and purposely believe what He has said, and is saying, about your need. Meditate on those promises until faith rises in your heart.

Then draw the line of faith. Draw it in your mind and heart. Draw it on the floor if it will help you. Then say, “In the presence of God, in the presence of all the angels in this room, and in the devil’s face, I am stepping across the line of faith. From this moment on, I consider this matter done. From this day forward, I give God the praise and glory in the name of Jesus!”

From that moment on, speak only as if your miracle has already happened. Turn your back on the problems, turn your back on the doubts, and turn your face toward Jesus. God will do the impossible in your life. Dare to step across the faith line!
