The Experiment Of Your Faith

Jonathan Cahnby Jonathan Cahn

The Bible speaks of the testing of our faith. You probably think about it in negative terms… what God is going to lay on you next. The Greek word for testing or a trial means ‘EXPERIMENT.’ Our English word ‘Experiment’ comes from the Latin – ‘Ex-Peritus’ which means ‘To Try Out.’ It means you have to TRY OUT your faith. You have to use it, prove it – experiment with it. God gave us wings, but most believers keep their wings all locked up. They’ll say they believe that the wings work, but deep down, they’re not really sure. The Bible says that faith must be tested… must be tried out. Your faith is never based on experience, but it must produce experience. You have to experience the real power of God. However, if you want to experience it, you have to experiment with it. The Lord says, ‘Test me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven.’ Therefore put on your lab coat and start experimenting into the power of God in your life. Take out your wings, try them out, and start flying.

Today’s Mission – Stretch your faith today and see what the Lord will do.

Which would you choose?

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

We came across this story, about a man who was slowly losing his memory. After a lengthy examination, the doctor said that a risky operation on his brain might reverse his condition and restore his memory. However, the surgery would be so delicate that a nerve could be severed, causing total blindness.

The surgeon asked, “So, which would you rather have, your sight or your memory?” The man pondered the question for a while and replied, “My sight, because I would rather see where I am going than remember where I have been.

Our enemy is always trying to dig up the past and keep us all bound up in our failures. But be encouraged! Today is a new day! Today and every day we have a choice to make! Like Paul, we must choose to press forward and put aside our past. We must purpose to keep our eyes on the Lord, not on our successes or failures, but upon on what can we do for Him today!

Be free from the shackles of the past! Keep your eyes on the prize!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love
