When it comes to faith, God requires our all.  God has really been stretching me in the area of growing my faith and learning to trust him even through the storm.  Hebrews 11:1 tells us” Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  It is all too easy to become discouraged when you’ve believed God for something and you don’t see the promise come to pass.  God however wants us to stay strong in the faith and dream the biggest dreams we can dream and trust his word.  Galatians 6:9 tells us that in due season you will reap a harvest if you faith not.  We have to become so filled with faith and stand on the word of God and trust that God does watch over his word to perform it.  Faith pleases God.  When you act in faith God can intercede on your behalf and bring to pass your greatest desires.  My greatest battle this year has been to continue to trust the Lord and believe in a dream that seems as if it has died.  But God…” ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.’ He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. ‘If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also; if anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. ‘” (John 12:24-26). Our confidence must be in the word.  1 John 5:14-15 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” When God gives us a dream, when we execute our faith we can rest assured that He will make it come to pass.  When we grow to faith he will honor us for our trust in Him.
