This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

God is willing to do a lot of things in our life, but he needs us to agree with him.

You say we're partners with God. God doesn't just come along and do things.

He wants us to pray and ask for things or if he promises us something,

he wants us to believe that. How can two walk together unless they be agreed?

Well, welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life and I am so glad that you're with us today

because I love teaching the Word and I love to know that there are people

who are listening who also love to hear the Word.

I'm going to be teaching today about faith. Actually, I'm going to be teaching on faith

for the next three days today and then two more days because faith is something

that is really, really important. And although we may think we know what it is,

sometimes we just get a little bit lazy about releasing our faith or using our faith.

So I think that this is going to be very beneficial to all of us.

I've enjoyed studying for it and I hope that you enjoy hearing it.

I want to start with the scriptures and Romans about Abraham.

And his story is really so amazing. I want to make sure that we realize how amazing it actually is.

Romans 417 through 21 says, and this is Paul writing this, as it is written,

I have made you a father of many nations. Now, this is God speaking to Abraham

and he says, I have made you a father of many nations.

Well, the thing that's very interesting about that is that Abraham had no children.

And not only did Abraham not have any children, he was too old to have any children.

He was 100 years old and the Bible says that Sarah had a deadened womb.
