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

You see, 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 it. How can two walk together unless they agree?

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 there 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 wound. They were both past childbearing years.

So what do we do when God speaks something to us or promises us something that sounds absolutely impossible?

I'm wondering how many people right now that are watching feel like you have a promise from God that's impossible. You don't see how it could work.

But you have to remember that what's impossible with man is possible with God.

You know, when I think about even the ministry that I'm in now, and where I was at when God spoke to me and what I was like and what my life was like, I mean, I look back and think there's no way that this is possible, except that God did it.

The thing that's interesting that I really want you to get and not miss is that God is willing to do a lot of things in our life, but he needs us to agree with him.
