What are you allowing to determine what you believe—God’s Word or what you can currently see?
In this message, Apostle Marla Eash teaches how our focus, spiritual identity, and expectation affect the way we respond to the promises of God.
Using Hebrews 11, Mark 4, the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, and other scriptures, Apostle Marla explains why believers must stop allowing past experiences, natural circumstances, fear, and the constant question of “How is God going to do this?” to dominate their thinking.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Like the farmer who plants the seed and does not know how it grows, there are times when God calls us to believe, obey, and participate without understanding every part of the process.
In this teaching, you will learn:
• Why your spiritual identity must become stronger than your past
• How natural circumstances can become a distraction to faith
• Why continually asking “how?” can lead to striving instead of trusting
• What Jesus teaches us through the seed and the harvest
• Why continual hope and praise are essential
• How Jesus responded to lack when feeding the multitude
• The importance of looking toward God’s provision instead of your limitations
• How to participate faithfully while trusting God for the increase
• Why hidden activity does not mean nothing is happening
• How to stop allowing old conditions to determine new outcomes
The central question of this message is simple:
*What are you observing?*
Are you observing your circumstances, your past, your limitations, and what appears possible in the natural?
Or are you observing God, His Word, His Kingdom, His promises, and who you are in Christ?
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1
“But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.” — Psalm 71:14
Make the decision to put your attention back on God, trust Him with the “how,” act on what He is speaking, and allow Him to bring the increase.
