The Power of Supernatural Faith !

By Victor Padilla

Faith is the substance of things not seen , the evidence of things hoped for ! ( Hebrew 11:1 ) What kind of mentality are you walking in today ? I challenge you to change your MINDSET and how you see you ’ re circumstance , how to deal with the enemy coming against your life .

Why do People Fail ? Because they lack Supernatural Faith , they need to motivate the hand of God . The most powerful story of Supernatural Faith is David and Goliath in 1st Samuel chapter 17 how the Power of Supernatural Faith overcomes circumstance . The army of Israel was at a standstill against the Philistines because they were struck with fear when they saw Goliath who stood over 9ft Tall a Giant of the Philistine Army . Israel was bound by FEAR ! “ Are you bound by FEAR ?” Do you see a giant standing before your circumstances ? Twice a day for 40 days , Goliath , challenged the Israelites to send out a champion of their own to fight him , but King Saul and his army were BOUND BY FEAR !
The spirit of God left King Saul so he had no POWER ! Fear of Goliath bound him with fear , because of the circumstance , FEAR ! Manipulated the Army ! The enemy challenges , brings Fear , brings doubt , makes you feel helpless ! You feel hopeless in the circumstance , it ’ s too big , and what do I do ? David , who was the ancestor of Jesus , was a young , ruddy teenage boy , very thin , didn ’ t look strong , but David when he was watching his father ’ s sheep had already killed a Bear and a Lion , he had no fear ! But David had something that even the King of Israel did not have , The Power of Supernatural Faith that came from God ! David saw the circumstance for what it really was ; he called Goliath uncircumcised , why because he knew that Goliath didn ’ t have a Covenant , Relationship with God ! Then he says … “ Who defiles the army of God !” David knew that Goliath had no right to even speak against the army of God . David wanted so bad to kill Goliath , but every time someone would say “ ARE YOU CRAZY ?” Sometimes people question God ; they bring nothing but confusion , doubt , and fear into your life that you only see the circumstance , causing fear to grip you . Fear is what the enemy uses to keep you from seeing the Supernatural hand of God . Saul , who was gripped with fear , finally gives into David , but David reassures Saul that he will fight this Giant . What does Saul say to David , “ You can ’ t ....” he tries to even put the very fear he had into David , but David said , “ I know I can overcome this Giant !” David was a man after God ’ s own heart and knew the Supernatural hand of God .
What lacks in people today is God ’ s Power , the knowledge that through every circumstance , God will prevail ! After Saul let David go , he tries his Armor on David , but David can ’ t wear Saul ’ s armor , why ? Because Saul ’ s armor was not meant to be worn by David , in fact God had given David what he needed . People will always try to give you the answer for your circumstances , but God is the only one who gives you exactly what you need to overcome . David took his staff , representing the supernatural power of God , the sling representing the hand of God , and went to the brook , choosing 5 smooth stones and placed them in his Sheppard ’ s bag . David was prepared with the instruments of God to meet Goliath . Goliath saw David and laughed . David then spoke supernatural words of Faith ,” I come to you in the name of the Lord !” Declaring supernatural authority ! David made haste to meet Goliath because he knew that God was with him !
People in circumstances always say “ God , why did you let this happen to me ? I don ’ t know what I am going to do ?” God said to me , “ Son , I give them all they need to overcome they don ’ t listen and stand naked before their circumstance .” David said to Goliath , “ The Battle belongs to God !” Speaking with supernatural authority . David reached in his bag and grabbed the stone that would slay Goliath , and then loosed it from the sling activating the hand of God , striking Goliath in his forehead . The circumstance was taken down immediately . God reacted to action .
God is saying to you , Stand ! Fight ! Use the Power of Supernatural Faith inside of you ! For God has not given you the spirit of fear but , of Power , Love and of a sound mind !
THE SUPERNATURAL POWER FAITH !!
