Walking By Faith - It is a walk

Today I had a conversation with my brother on the phone. He was feeling a little frustrated because he has been looking for a job for about six weeks and has been turned down each time. I felt the desire to encourage him so I began doing the only think that I know changes circumstances, speaking the Word.
I told him the scriptures say "If God is for you who can be against you" Romans 8:28. Every day thank God and say "it doesn't matter what it looks like I know I have a good job, God you love me you are for me and you desire to bless me."
As I was speaking I could sense his faith was rising. Faith is a walk. You have to take steps. Sometimes when you step out, you feel as if you hit a wall. When that time comes you just have to look at that wall and say,"Oh no you don't , you can't stand in my way, I know you are coming down."
You know they did that with the walls of Jericho. Joshua 6:20 Sometimes those walls look huge and daunting, but we serve a God that is the wall breaker. I have to also remind myself of that daily. When we find ourselves in situations that we cannot change that is when it is time to praise the ONE who can change everything. He can make a way where there seems to be know way. He said He can't lie if He promised than it must come to pass no matter what we feel or what we see. So today begin to praise HIM as if it is all done and your walls will come down and He will open the prison doors and you will go free! Acts 16:25-26
