Audacious Faith





On the Eve of the Day that I had planned to start a series on Audacious faith, a Church in Kenya was attacked by muslim extremist because of their faith. When I found out I sent a message to my friend there, Bishop Chris Stewards Baraza to check on his well being and that of his members. This is the response I received:

"It's well my dear bishop.We announced a nation 100% anti terror and we began fighting with the sect including the Somalia terrorists and since then we've had a hell of time as a nation for the past few months but praise God because soon our army will take over Kisimayu the capital city of terrorists in Somalia.The attacks have been tense in our Kenyan North where there are lots of Muslims who are anti Christian.We pray for our brethren in those places.The terror attacks are like targeting the Church but God is all round good and taking care of us always.Yesterday Morning they attacked two Churches in Garisa town[North Estern province]and killed 17 people,so sad.Yesterday was a great day at our Church,We'd a lot of people in attendance,God healed diverse sickness including Ulcers that was Chronic.We praise God for your prayers.The Church was led by Pst.Charles[my associate pastor]to pray for you and the December meetings.We also prayed for every effort that you're employing to see the success of the meetings,outreaches and our Ministry[Church]as a whole.Again thanks and God bless you.Eagerly waiting my dear Bishop.Pray for my family because we had great fee balances for our college boys[former street boys]whom we've taken care now 12 good years and like they have now been out of school for past two weeks,we trust God for provision.Again Bless you.Friend Chris"

I will be visiting Nairobi, Kenya this December to preach a faith conference there. What I want to point out here is that all over the world Christians are facing persecution, even to the point of death, yet in America where no such persecution exists, we fail to flourish in faith, effectiveness and overall impact.

It is time for American believers to engage this ethereal journey of Christianity with a mindset of "for God I live and for God I die". This requires an audacious faith that refuses to relent. This faith is inexorable in its progression towards destiny. This faith is swayed by the concept of impossibility. This faith is not deterred by delay or dampened by darkness. This faith disregards circumstances and obstacles in pursuit of purpose and destiny.

This faith is audacious. Audacious faith is a faith that is extremely bold and daring in thought and perception; it defies conventional wisdom and is not restricted to prior ideas. This faith is lively, unrestrained; uninhibited; and beyond human perspicacity and rationale.

It was audacious faith that caused David to chase down, both lion and bear, as well as engage Goliath. It was audacious faith that made Gideon and 300 men engage the entire Midianite Army, and it was audacious faith that caused Joshua to pray for the sun to stand still.

For far too long we have been bound by our intellect, fears, and preconceived notions of what we can't do. Audacious faith simply believes that God is who he says he is and trusts that He will do what He said he would. Audacious faith is not afraid of putting God on the spot. Audacious faith does not fear faith. Audacious faith was there when God asked Abraham, "Is there anything to hard for the Lord?" Audacious faith was there again when the same question was posed to Jeremiah.

Audacious faith breaks free from the shackles of dwarfed goals and colorless dreams, moves beyond the boundaries of base thinking and muscles past the maze of mediocrity into the realm limitless possibilities.

The enemy has consistently taken ground in this warfare in America because of a faith that refuses to act like faith. The devil has you in a consistent state of defeat because of a faith that is constrained by conventional concepts. Audacious faith calls for a paradigmatic shift in the thinking of the believer. It calls for the believer to take his eyes of of the circumstance and affix them on God. This faith I speak of is dynamic and produces exponential growth in power and is proven to provide immeasurable results.

I will be teaching on faith until faith is truly grasped and understood.

If you are ready to walk in a faith that produces the supernatural, I invite you to follow me as I unveil the truth about biblical faith and the possibilities it produces. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
