Can Faith Fix Anything? Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Can faith fix anything? If something does NOT happen the way think it should, is because you didn't have enough faith? Consider the difference between Biblical faith and the teachings of those who would make us doubt God's faithfulness in prayer.
BUT IF NOT we still will not surrender.
We will die standing against this foe. We will not give up.
(Charles Colson BreakPoint October 2001)
Scholars still puzzle over why Hitler did not crush the forces of France and Britain while he had them cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk. It really made no sense. What possible reason did he have for holding back?
Well, we know.
We know why Hitler stayed his hand.
These men had surrendered themselves into the power of their God and they were willing to do their duty and die EVEN IF their God did not rescue them. And God rescued them in one of the most dynamic rescues of WWII.
Over the next 9 days England mobilized every ship, yacht and dinghy they could find and they rescued 336,000 men from certain death.
Why were these men rescued?
Because their faith was the victory that overcame their world.
And that is what God calls us to as well.
To have a faith that stands firm even in the face of certain loss and death.
A faith that overcomes the world.
But you can’t have that faith until you first belong to Jesus Christ.
