Faith is your currency

Apostle Steve Lyston, Contributor

There are many people going through various storms today. These storms can range from financial hardship to marriage and family breakups! Whatever situation you are going through there is no lack, downsizing or recession in heaven or with God. The scripture Psalm 24:1 reminds us that "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof…" Psalm 50: 10 states, "For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills." It is not intellect, position, education or tears that moves God. Faith is the only thing that moves God, so in order to get His attention you must have FAITH!

Hebrews 11: 1 reminds us, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." For what things are you hoping? Is it a job, a vehicle, a home, or is it a vision that you have? Is it restoration in your marriage, a loan for the business idea you have? Whatever it is, faith will unlock all those miracles you desire. Whatever the problem is that you are going through, don't be afraid to ask (Matthew 7:11).

Asking is the golden key to receiving! Asking is admitting that we have a lack or limitation! Ask not and you will receive not.

Fear is a hindrance which the enemy uses to cripple us that we refrain from asking! Fear tells you, 'It doesn't make sense to ask!' 'There is a global recession, so why bother to ask?'

Ask your boss for an increase of salary today and give him/her a plan to help him/her increase production!

Faith Without Works Is Dead!

God wants you to do a faith move today! You may not qualify for a job right now, but faith brings favour! Write down the 20 top companies within the nation at which you would want to work, and which pays the best salaries. Then paste it on your wall. Pray over it every day and send out your applications by faith. Faith is not a respecter of qualifications or education!

You may be believing in the Lord for a husband. Fear will tell you that there are no more good men left; but faith will tell you to go ahead and buy your wedding dress, or purchase that tie for your husband from now!

You may be believing in the Lord for a child and the doctor says you have passed the time of child-bearing, or has told you that because of something in your body you will never have a children! But faith tells you to go and purchase an item of baby clothing, hang it up in your closet and tell God 'Thank You' everyday, for that child that is to come.

If you are believing in the Lord for your own business and you have tried before and have had many failures, or there are no funds available, God wants you to write the vision down on a paper or in a book, according to Habakkuk 2: 2 - 3! Be specific in the amount you ask for and in the resources you desire, in order to see this vision come to fruition. Don't just ask for some money. Some money can be $10!

If you are asking the Lord to eradicate your debt completely, write down all the amounts owed. Put it up on your wall and thank God everyday for eradicating all your debts! Then watch it disappear!

Write down your school fee amount! Fill out the bank voucher and watch God take care of the fees!

Go after your dream house! Identify the area you desire to live in, get a picture of the house being sold and its cost. Lay your hands on it daily and believe God will cause it to happen for you, and watch how God will move on your behalf!

Believe with me by faith today, that one day Jamaica land we love will have a coalition government; and that the United States will, as it says on their currency, trust in God again!
