Ever wonder what that means baby faith? Baby faith is taking God at His word, believing what He says. Back when I first got saved and started reading the bible I jumped in with both feet.
One of my first Scriptures that really came to life is Romans 4:17. Abraham called into being that which did not exist. The home we lived in at the time had a one stall garage and my husband wanted to build a bigger one. The only way to do that at the time was to take out a loan. A neighbor at the time was getting ready to build a new garage and had all the lumber sitting in his yard. I prayed a prayer based on Romans 4:17 and believed God for our own pile of wood to build our garage. Everyday when I pulled in and out of my driveway and passed that neighbor's pile of wood I thanked the Lord for our pile.
God does work in mysterious ways. My husband had taken out a life insurance policy when he was younger and the Rep called and wanted to get together with us. I put him off because I assumed he just wanted to sell us more. I think after the third time I gave in and let him come over. He sat at our table and said that the policy was overpaid by Two Thousand Dollars.
I did what any other woman would have done at that time I put out my hand and said give it to me. He went on to tell me it wasn't that easy but I knew it was because God was behind it. That night we took out a family life insurance policy and canceled the other one and received the check for the money. We built our new garage 24X32, it was huge.
There is many more things that I believed God for and that Scripture became quite popular with me. I will continue to write more about it.
Our garage right now isn't so huge and it is attached so there is no room to add on to so we build a shed for the overflow.
My prayer for you is that you reach out with baby faith if you have to and just let go and know that God wants to bless you.
