What are four areas of power that authetic faith in
God will bring to your life according to Hebrews 11-24-29?


There are 4 areas of power that authetic faith in God will bring:
1. Faith will give you the power to make right choices. In Hebrews 11:24-26. Moses had the choice to stay with the Pharaoh or to go and lead the people. If he stayed with the Pharaoh he would have enjoyed a life of luxury and would not want for anything. But instead he chose to endure temporary pain for the gain of God's kingdom. He chose to lead the people. Because Moses had faith in God, he was able to make the right choice. As in Moses situation, the right choice is not always the easiest choice. We will be tempted to follow our worldly desires, but if we have faith and and trust that God's word will assist us through then it makes it easier for us to make theright choice.

2.Faith will give you the power to persevere in adversity (Hebrews 11:27) Moses was able to persevere as a sheppard and lead the people. He was faced with many challenges and many times things did not go his way. However, Moses had faith in God, so he was able to persevere through all the turmoil.

3. Faith will five you the power to receive God's protection and blessing (Hebrews 11:28)
Because Moses was faithful the firstborn of Israel did not die. If we keep coming to Jesus he will bless us and give us new hope. He will renew our spirits and give us the blessings that we need to conquer all that comes our way.

4. Faith will give you the power to overcome obstacles (Hebrews 11:29)
Think of all the obstacles that the people endured while with Moses. However, since Moses was faithful they were able to overcome them all. In this example in Hebrews 11:29, the Red Sea parted and let all the people pass, but then closed and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. If we have faith in God he will help us through our trying times, even when it seems impossible for him to help us out of our situation.

Faith is trusting God to the extent that I think and act according to God's Word and rewards. I want to practice living faith. To do this, my actions must align with the word of God. That is my challenge as well as my goal.
