How Far To Go

We all know the history of Abraham, how he became the father of faith. He believed that what God had promised him, God was able to perform, and gave glory to God. He didn't consider that even though his body and Sarah's were as good as dead, that the promise would fail.

I read a testimony of a brother; he had asked the Lord for a healing in his body. He told the Lord that he was resting on the promise and not considering his body. He was standing on Romans 4:19 (Abraham)"and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb".

When after a time nothing had changed, but was in the same condition, he inquired of the Lord. "I'm lying here and not considering anything and nothing is happening". The Lord spoke, "that's your problem. You are not considering anything. Why don't you consider me?" He did and was healed. His problem is like our's, we don't go far enough. Turning our thoughts off of the natural and focusing on God.
