[00:00:00] You are listening to My Devotional, the daily devotional from Dr. Michael Youssef and Leading
[00:00:06] the Way.
[00:00:08] Lessons on Faith by Dr. Michael Youssef
[00:00:12] We have a culture that talks about faith all the time.
[00:00:16] Have faith in your government.
[00:00:18] Have faith in your community.
[00:00:20] Have faith in yourself.
[00:00:21] There are two things you need to know about faith.
[00:00:24] First, there is no power in simply having faith.
[00:00:29] A lot of people talk about the power of having faith, but the reality is there is no power
[00:00:34] in faith itself.
[00:00:35] Power is only found in the object of faith.
[00:00:39] And if the object of your faith is the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone, then you are a
[00:00:45] powerful, victorious Christian.
[00:00:48] Your faith is dynamic.
[00:00:50] Your faith is powerful.
[00:00:52] Your faith will move mountains if the object of your faith is the Lord Jesus.
[00:00:58] Second, faith has nothing to do with feelings.
[00:01:03] Now, faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
[00:01:09] Faith says, God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.
[00:01:15] And lest we boast in our faith rather than the object of our faith, our Redeemer, let us remember
[00:01:21] Ephesians 2, 6-9.
[00:01:25] And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ
[00:01:31] Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace,
[00:01:37] expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
[00:01:41] For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves.
[00:01:48] It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
[00:01:54] Let's pray together.
[00:01:55] Father, You are the object of our faith.
[00:01:58] We rejoice knowing that our faith is not in vain because our faith is in You alone and not
[00:02:04] based on how we feel.
[00:02:06] We pray this in the name of Jesus.
[00:02:09] Amen.
