David, my 4 yr old, burst into my room with his arms and hands outstretched in front of him just slightly apart and carrying the biggest smile on his face. He immediately told me he had a special helmet for me to wear today so I bent down to let him put it on me. Of course it was invisible so I asked him the color...He said "oh mom"(as if almost annoyed)"its all your favorite colors". Then he brought in the knee pads, elbow pads (all imaginary) so I pretended to put them on. After getting on the "skates" he asked what my favorite animal was. I told him and he said, "well, their picture is now on all of your stuff". He walked over for a high five seeing I was all ready for his special event and said "I have 6 sets of these for the whole family!" He was so excited. So we skated for a few minutes right there in my room until he bounded out the door for a different adventure. But his words left such an impression on my heart. They were so full of faith even though he was playing. What was invisible to me was visible to him, and what I needed to see was sharing his moment of fun allowed me insight into how God views our faith declarations. He came in declaring everything I would need to enjoy our skating adventure, but with extras included...all my favorite colors and my favorite animal. My little David was trying to think of everything that would ensure my happiness. Oh what a lesson of love from the Lord! As He has reminded me so much this month, we are a love creation, born to create. God is so in love with us and He takes great steps to ensure we are not only taken care of, but we are lavished with special blessings. Look how a simple prayer gave Hezekiah 15 more years of life. Why can't we create things from our faith declarations...Jesus did. And He says we can do greater works than He.
We CAN speak those things that are not yet visible as though they are. And we CAN believe those things will simply become because of that spoken faith. It is power, dunamis, supernatural ability given from the Lord to us his children. I've seen it happen for the lady that wanted to have a son but with no possible way of bearing children in her own body. But it happened anyway when she declared her faith. Its too real of a thing not to believe it. So many of us want to believe but we think how silly of us to hold onto something so pre-school. Come on, don't you want to see if it will work, really work in your life? Why not put the "skates" on and add some rocket packs too? I could deal with a little flying above the mire! There are too many promises in God's Word for me to be encouraged rather than dismayed. I want to see some things become....no I declare those things to become, to create in Jesus name!
