                            BLIND FAITH

I am looking for blind faith in the hearts of My children. Yet you may ask, 
what is blind faith? I will tell you that blind faith is looking past your
circumstances, what you see in the natural, into the supernatural realm of 
My blessings, which are always yes and amen unto you. Blind faith means that 
you would be oblivious to your own abilities, weaknesses, failures and 
present circumstances and take Me for My word. Blind faith means that you 
will take the risk to believe Me for the impossible, to step out of the boat
and walk on the water despite the raging storms and winds that are about 
you. Blind faith obeys Me when I bid you to do My will even though it makes 
no sense to your earthly mind. 

My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts transcend what you could 
ever dream or think about, but it takes blind faith to come into agreement 
with what I want to establish in you and in the earth. It is foolishness to 
believe that I was crucified, and rose on the third day, to open the eyes 
of the blind, to raise the dead. It is foolishness to believe that My 
blood could cleanse your sin and make you whole. I need not give you further 
examples, for they are recorded throughout My word. But did I not say that 
the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God? Did I not 
promise that I would use the foolish to confound the wise? 

That is why I say turn a blind eye to your own pre-conceived perceptions, 
wisdom and understanding, and believe that I will do what I say I will do. 
Many times when I bring forth a promise to you, you would analyze it, see 
if it made sense, and give a score to see whether I am able to do it. Would 
you be able to limit My power? Do you know that I cannot be contained, that 
I am all power, all mighty? Did I not create the heavens and the earth by 
the word of My mouth? If you believe this is so, then by the Word of
My mouth, I have called forth your promises, your destiny, and it shall 
come into being. It takes foolishness to believe all that I did in times 
past recorded in My word, but if you so believe this, do you think My 
power, mercy and love stopped operating with the last chapter of Revelation? 

So today, call upon Me. Believe Me for that which you know I have promised 
you. Every promise in the bible is for you. Have even the mustard seed 
faith, and that is enough to move your mountains and to create a highway 
and a river in the wilderness for you. Remember that I am for you and not 
against you. Remember that I have not called and brought you this far to 
quit, but to be victorious.
