Rodney Howard Browne shares a teaching on Faith

Hebrews 11:1 states that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.” Faith…even though we cannot see it with our natural eyes, we know that with God ALL things can be possible.

A few years ago, I was really believing God for a new car. I had an old one, but it seemed like every other week, it had to be in the shop. It was definitely not reliable. All of my life, I have been taught to have faith. I began to stretch out my faith. When I would pray for a new car, I was very specific of what I wanted. Doesn’t He say that He knows the desires of our heart! I was on staff for a bible college at the time and was getting paid $50 a week. There would be weeks at a time, that I would place that $50 in the offering, sowing a seed for that new vehicle.

One night I was babysitting for a friend of mine. They had called and said that they were on the way home and wanted me to meet them in their garage with the kids…we were going to get some ice cream. As I stepped into the garage, they threw me keys and said…”God knows the desires of your heart. Here is a brand new car for your faithfulness. As I wiped the tears away from my eyes, I saw that the VW Jetta was exactly what I had been believing for. Not only was the color the same, but everything from the interior to the sunroof.

We need to walk in faith each day of our lives. We need to believe God for the impossible. Isn’t that the kind of God that we serve? That day, my faith was increased!
