As pastor David Hogan stepped into the room he was met by the sight of a lifeless child lying still on the bed. Four men stood around him—two witch doctors and two local spiritists. They had tried everything they knew to bring the boy back to life, but couldn’t. Since it was obvious they had failed, Pastor David Hogan who had just arrived stepped up to pray. All he carried was a Bible and deep trust in God.
Few years earlier in 1977, pastor David Hogan had arrived as a missionary to minister to local tribes in the jungles of Mexico. That day he was preaching in one of the villages when a desperate father called him to pray for his dying child. But when they arrived, it was to find the boy was already dead. With the failure of the witch doctors, the father now looked to the preacher to prove the superiority of the Gospel he preached.
As pastor David Hogan looked at the dead child, fear tried to crawl up his spine but instead he began praying in tongues. For nearly an hour he prayed without anything happening. But as he continued to pray boldly, suddenly the boy gasped and sat up. The room erupted in shock. Soon news of this miracle spread around the region and made many to believe in Christ. From there, Hogan’s ministry would spread internationally with many more testimonies of amazing miracles signs and wonders.
Faith doesn’t need favorable conditions. It thrives in the middle of impossibility.
To effectively serve God we need supernatural boldness to keep declaring God’s Word in the face of challenges. On the journey.of destiny we will sometimes be confronted by intimidating situations.
Except the Spirit of God emboldens us, we may be too afraid to confront the giants resisting our progress. We need the Holy Spirit to quicken us to take steps of faith even when it looks like nothing is going to work.
When Joshua was about to go forth with the army of Israel to possess the promised land, God commanded him to meditate on the Word day and night, by so doing he will be strong, courageous, and not be afraid or dismayed.
Likewise to possess our promised land and come into our inheritance we must be filled with faith through constant meditation in the Word.
While fear comes from looking at the impossibilities in the world, faith comes from looking at the possibilities in God’s Word.
Joshua was not told to be courageous because things would be easy, but because God was with him.
Today, you may be standing in front of something that seems impossible. But when you dare to believe God’s Word and act on it, the miraculous will happen.
Certainly as we keep blessing God and keep moving with boldness, surely He will cause us to experience supernatural breakthroughs and new realms of exploits..
PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to meditate constantly on Your Word so that I can be strong and courageous to break forth to higher dimensions this year in Jesus Name. .
