Believe

I had a vision of Abraham walking up the hill with his son Isaac to offer him as a sacrifice to the Lord. Isaac, the PROMISE to Abraham from God. (Genesis 17:19) I envisioned Abraham and Isaac walking up the Hill to the mountain, where Abraham was going to offer up his son. When Isaac asked his father where the sacrificial lamb was, Abraham answered, God will provide himself a lamb. (Genesis 22:6-8). All the way to the top of the mountain, Abraham entrusted his son's life to God. He trusted God, with his son's life. Knowing all the way up the hill that God had a plan for Isaac, whether he had to go through with the sacrifice or not. Unwavering trust. He required no confirmation. The Lord didn't send him witnesses all the way up the mountain to remind him that God had a plan. The Lord didn't have to send Abraham dreams to remind him that He had a plan for Isaac. Abraham believed God. NOT just in Him, but believed His Words. So even up to the very last moment, even after Isaac was bound to the altar, and the sword was raised He believed God. Then in God's perfect timing He showed up. (Genesis 22:10-14) Following Abraham's obedience and trust in the Lord, God told Abraham his descendants would be as the stars in the Heaven and as the sands of the shores...and he and his descendants would be blessed beyond measure!!! Because Abraham believed God, God was able to bless him greater than he could ever imagine.. (Genesis 22: 15-18)


My point here is that if you feel the Lord has made you a promise...BELIEVE God, even if he asks you to place it on the sacrificial altar! You don't need 100 confirmations to make the Word of the Lord true...
The Word of the Lord is true

....BELIEVE IT
