Day 2, Audacious Faith BELIEVES for Impossible!

Posted on January 4, 2022 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Do you have GIANT obstacles to life?

Are you struggling with  insurmountable problems?

SUPERNATURAL help from our Messiah King Jesus is possible, once we step forward by faith and believe God is both willing and able!

“As Jesus departed, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Show us mercy, Son of David.” When he came into the house, the blind men approached him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “It will happen for you just as you have believed.” Their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them, “Make sure nobody knows about this.” But they went out and spread the word about him throughout that whole region.” (Matthew 9:27–31, CEB)

As Jesus traveled on, He was followed by two blind men who appealed to Him on the basis of the fact that He is the Son of David (cf. 12:23; 15:22; 20:30–31).

This title clearly related Jesus to the messianic line (cf. 1:1). The persistence of the blind men was seen as they followed Jesus into a house where He miraculously restored their sight. Their faith was genuine for they truly believed He was able to heal them (9:28). They affirmed His deity for they acknowledged Him as Lord. Their sight was restored in keeping with their faith.

Welcome to 21 Days of Audacious Faith, Day 1!

Posted on January 3, 2022 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

 

Jesus is looking for men and women of audacious faith!

In Matthew chapter 8, a Roman Centurion asked Jesus to come and heal his servant.
When Jesus said He would go and heal him, the Centurion and replied that would not be necessary. As a man who was used to giving orders, he understood the principle of authority. One with authority does not need to be present to accomplish a task. Orders may be carried out by others even at a distance.
Jesus marveled at the centurion’s great faith, for this was the kind of Faith He was vainly looking for in Israel.
In these 21 days of audacious faith we are going to reach out, reach up, pray and fast and ask Jesus to answer audacious prayers.
And Jesus’ response to the Centurion is the response that we want to hear in these 21 days and throughout 2020. “Go. It will be done for you just as you have believed!”
Join me again tomorrow as we continue praying and fasting with audacious faith. If you haven’t chosen a fasting plan yet, go to EaglesInLeadership.org and click the tab, “21 Days of Fasting for 2022.”

Hope For Today #230 – Faith Obeys Crazy Commands!

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Photo of Mary holding baby Jesus with Joseph looking on.

“When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.” -Matthew 1:24 (NIV)

Has God ever asked of you something that you thought was too crazy to do? Think about it, God often asks us to do things that we feel uncomfortable doing or we can’t see how He can do. It may seem like an insane thing that God is asking you, but consider the life of Joseph. Give us TWO minutes and allow us to remind you of how obedience to your God can bring about amazing things!

Hope For Today #229 – Faith Accepts The Impossible!

Posted on December 5, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. – Luke 1.38 (ESV)

Imagine if God asked you to do something that would make you the talk of every single person — every gossip in your town. That you would be ridiculed and looked at with disgust by every person you meet.

We’re wondering if God has asked you something this year that is really hard to do that you haven’t done yet. God wants to use you yet this year. Give us TWO minutes and allow us to remind you of the supernatural power of your God!

Hope For Today #228 – Faith Savors God’s Forgiveness!

Posted on November 28, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Faith Savors God’s Forgiveness!

“In those days and at that time— this is the Lord’s declaration— one will search for Israel’s iniquity, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found, for I will forgive those I leave as a remnant.” (Jeremiah 50:20, CSB)

Why does God forgive us? We aren’t perfect, and when we are honest we know it and admit it! God knows our sin also and He has done something about it – He sent His only Son as a SUBSTITUTE for the penalties of our failures and rebellions against Him! If you have ever wondered about God’s forgiveness of YOUR sin, be assured God is ready to forgive you today!

So today, if you are in need of a “faith boost,” give us TWO minutes and allow us to remind you of the supernatural power of your God!

Hope For Today #227 – Faith Thanks God For Success!

Posted on November 21, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Faith Thanks God for Success!

“If you have raced with runners and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5, CSB)

If you’ve listened to some Christians over the past year and a half you would think they were baptized in pickle juice! Sure, life is hard. It always has been. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it’s better. yet, it’s always hard. However, as a surrendered follower of King Jesus, we have the inside edge! Our God laid out OUR plans long ago – long before we were born. He knows all the things He has planned for us – our well-being, our incredible future, plans to give us hope!

So today, if you are in need of a “faith boost,” give us TWO minutes and allow us to remind you of the supernatural power of your God!

Hope For Today #226 – Faith Waits For God’s Vindication!

Posted on November 14, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

 

Faith Waits For God’s Vindication!

“Who is this coming from Edom in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah— this one who is splendid in his apparel, striding in his formidable might? It is I, proclaiming vindication, powerful to save.” (Isaiah 63:1, CSB)

Covid-19 has truly wreaked havoc on our lives this year! And with so much disruption, so many deaths, and so much discouragement and depression, the Child of God may think life is truly over as we knew it. And then, we return to the Words of God and find the Hope of God! We have a Rescuer – one MIGHTY to Save! King Jesus has NOT forgotten you! He is on His way! Be patient! He is soon here.

Hope For Today #225 – Faith Is Filled With Peace!

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Faith Is Filled With Peace!

“There is no peace for the wicked,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 48:22, CSB)

Fear – what a terrible master! For the faith-filled disciple of King Jesus He gives us peace! God is our provider! He takes care of us in the midst of all the chaos flowing about us! God loves us. God loves YOU. Peace is the hallmark – the benchmark – of the Child of God!

Hope For Today #224 – Faith Praises God For Long-Ago Plans!

Posted on October 31, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Faith Praises God For Long-Ago Plans!

“Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for you have accomplished wonders, plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.” (Isaiah 25:1, CSB)

If you’ve listened to some Christians over the past year and a half you would think they were baptized in pickle juice! Sure, life is hard. It always has been. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it’s better. yet, it’s always hard. However, as a surrendered follower of King Jesus, we have the inside edge!

Hope For Today #223 – Faith Clings to King Jesus!

Posted on October 24, 2021 by Dr. Matthew Lee Smith

Faith Clings to King Jesus!

“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength, a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” (Isaiah 11:2, CSB)

In these complicated days, we can be SO grateful that we have a God who shares His understanding and counsel with us! While the devil whispers, “Give up! Just quit!” the Spirit of the Lord says, “Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world!” While the days may confuse, the Spirit breathes life and hope and help!
